SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill closes gaps when your AI QA workflow needs a capability that sumo-qa does not provide natively, or when an ingestion source must be converted to markdown before it can be processed.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • External skill lifecycle management: checks for an existing local install, searches externally, installs candidates via MCP, and executes them for the current gap.
  • User-confirmed installs with safe fallback: prompts once per candidate with [y/N] consent, retries up to a capped number of attempts, and falls through on install or run errors.
  • Correct handling for QA vs conversion gaps: routes based on the gap type (QA capability vs converter requirement) without hand-transcribing unsupported files.

Quick Start

Ask your assistant to use sumo-qa to suggest and install an external skill to either cover a missing QA capability or convert a PDF/PPTX/DOCX/web source into markdown for ingestion.

Frequently Asked Questions about sumo-qa-suggesting-external-skill

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find and install an external QA tool for missing test capabilities?▼

To find and install an external QA tool, the system searches for candidate skills via MCP tools, prompts you for explicit confirmation, installs the skill, and executes it to cover the missing QA capability. It falls back safely on errors.

Can I convert PDF, PPTX, or DOCX files to markdown for test ingestion?▼

Yes, you can convert PDF, PPTX, or DOCX files to markdown for ingestion by finding and installing an external converter skill. This avoids hand-transcribing unsupported files before processing.

What is the best way to handle unsupported ingestion sources in QA automation?▼

The best way to handle unsupported ingestion sources in QA automation is routing the requirement to an external converter skill that transforms sources like web pages or documents into markdown before processing.

Do I need to manually confirm external skill installs during QA workflow routing?▼

Yes, you need to manually confirm external skill installs with a [y/N] prompt during QA workflow routing. The system gates each candidate installation with explicit user consent and retries up to a capped number of attempts.

Does this work with E2E frameworks, accessibility audits, and load testing?▼

Yes, it works with E2E frameworks, accessibility audits, load testing, contract testing, and type checking by suggesting and executing external skills when native sub-skills do not fit the specific QA capability gap.

What happens when an external skill install or run fails during test automation?▼

When an external skill install or run fails during test automation, the system falls through on errors and falls back safely after retrying up to a capped number of attempts, ensuring your workflow is not blocked.
