What problem does it solve?
Coordinating QA across strategy, manual testing, and bug sign-off can stall releases when coverage, smoke checks, or acceptance criteria are unclear; this Skill organizes the QA team into a structured, decision-gated workflow so a sprint or feature can ship with confidence.
Core Features & Use Cases
- End-to-end QA orchestration: Coordinates qa-lead (strategy + test plan + sign-off) and qa-tester (test cases + bug reporting) to produce a complete QA package.
- Story-scoped testing: Automatically detects in-scope stories from sprint identifiers, system-tagged features, or inferred active sprint/session state.
- Smoke check gate with verdicts: Evaluates smoke test scenarios from
tests/smoke/ and blocks advancement when smoke check fails.
- Manual QA execution and bug filing: Runs manual verification in batches, collects PASS/PASS WITH NOTES/FAIL/BLOCKED decisions, and writes formal bug reports for failures.
- Final QA sign-off report: Produces an APPROVED / APPROVED WITH CONDITIONS / NOT APPROVED verdict based on severity rules and documented issues.
Example use case: You’re preparing to launch sprint-03 and need a QA plan, test cases, manual walkthrough instructions, and a final sign-off report with bugs filed if critical issues are found.
Quick Start
Run the team-qa skill with an argument like sprint-03 or feature: system-name to generate a complete QA cycle with strategy, test plan, manual QA execution guidance, and a sign-off verdict.
