SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you answer generic “how should I test this?” questions without falling back on vague checklists, by grounding answers in an explicit QA principle and a matching technique.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Redirect-first fit checking: Avoids answering the wrong kind of QA request by routing to more specific sumo-qa skills when the intent is actually PR review, test planning, TDD, mutation strengthening, or test data discovery.
  • Catalogue-grounded guidance: Provides a concise answer that must cite a specific principle heading and a specific technique name using the exact loaded wording.
  • 3–7 sentence operational response: Delivers senior-style, output-economical guidance focused on the risk-shaped testing approach.

Quick Start

Ask your AI to answer your question with a cited principle and a named technique that matches the specific risk or boundary implied by your scenario.
