qa-implementation-feedback-loop

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates rapid, local validation of implementation work by running build, test, static analysis, and vulnerability checks and producing actionable remediation guidance so developers can catch and fix issues before they compound or block delivery.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Phased validation: Executes build, unit tests, static analysis, and dependency/vulnerability scans in a prioritized order to surface the most likely failures first.
• Safe auto-fixes: Optionally applies deterministic, low-risk fixes (formatters, linters) between attempts when enabled to resolve trivial failures without hiding real bugs.
• Stagnation detection & escalation: Detects repeated identical failures, stops retries to avoid loops, generates support requests, and updates linked US-* story artifacts with run summaries and failure signatures.
• Reporting & story updates: Produces a human-readable report under execution-plan/reports and can inject an Automated feedback loop summary into the linked story file.
• Use case: Run after a material implementation change to verify a US-* story compiles, passes tests, meets static rules, and has no critical dependency vulnerabilities before marking it done.

Quick Start

Run the feedback loop for a linked US story in the repository root with execute enabled to generate a report and update the story.
