What problem does it solve?

This Skill acts as the central router for SparQ, interpreting user intent from natural language and directing requests to the appropriate specialized SparQ skills, enabling seamless QA automation workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Routing: Understands plain-language requests, Jira IDs, Confluence/Figma links, or file references and routes to the right skill.
  • Intent detection: Uses pattern-based and keyword-based detection to determine Generate vs Maintain lanes.
  • Orchestration: If needed, prompts for minimal follow-up while preserving a two-lane workflow (Generate or Maintain) and passes context to the target skill.
  • Use Cases: Start a QA workflow for a ticket EP-142, generate tests for a feature, or convert manual tests to automated E2E tests.
