What problem does it solve?
This Skill turns a sprint or feature into a structured QA cycle, reducing the risk of missed acceptance criteria, inconsistent testing, and untracked defects. It helps a team move from initial QA strategy to evidence-backed sign-off with clear approval gates.
Core Features & Use Cases
- QA Strategy Orchestration: Classifies stories, identifies automation versus manual validation needs, and flags blockers before testing starts.
- Test Planning and Review: Produces a QA plan that covers scope, entry and exit criteria, smoke checks, and out-of-scope decisions.
- Manual QA Execution Support: Generates test cases, guides manual verification, and records pass, fail, warning, or blocked outcomes.
- Bug Reporting and Sign-Off: Captures defects with severity and produces a final QA verdict with conditions or next-step guidance.
- Use Case: A release manager can use this Skill to coordinate QA for a feature branch, confirm smoke readiness, test the highest-risk stories, and publish a sign-off report for stakeholders.
Quick Start
Use the team-qa skill to review the current sprint or feature, approve the proposed QA strategy, and let it generate the test plan before any QA files are written.
