Step-by-step Workflow

qa-only — Workflow

Auto-generated from SKILL.md. The skill itself is the source of truth; this is a human-readable map of what it does and how it runs.

What it does & when to use

Report-only QA testing. Systematically tests a web application and produces a structured report with health score, screenshots, and repro steps — but never fixes anything. Use when asked to "just report bugs", "qa report only", or "test but don't fix". For the full test-fix-verify loop, use /qa instead. Proactively suggest when the user wants a bug report without any code changes. (gstack) Voice triggers (speech-to-text aliases): "bug report", "just check for bugs".

Triggers

  • just report bugs
  • qa report only
  • test but don
  • bug report
  • just check for bugs

How it works

Workflow outline (sections of SKILL.md):

  1. Preamble (run first)
  2. Plan Mode Safe Operations
  3. Skill Invocation During Plan Mode
  4. Skill routing
  5. AskUserQuestion Format
  6. Artifacts Sync (skill start)
  7. Model-Specific Behavioral Patch (claude)
  8. Voice
  9. Context Recovery
  10. Writing Style (skip entirely if EXPLAIN_LEVEL: terse appears in the preamble echo OR the user's current message explicitly requests terse / no-explanations output)
  11. Completeness Principle — Boil the Lake
  12. Confusion Protocol
  13. Continuous Checkpoint Mode
  14. Context Health (soft directive)
  15. Question Tuning (skip entirely if QUESTION_TUNING: false)
  16. Repo Ownership — See Something, Say Something
  17. Search Before Building
  18. Completion Status Protocol
  19. Operational Self-Improvement
  20. Telemetry (run last)
  21. Plan Status Footer
  22. Setup
  23. SETUP (run this check BEFORE any browse command)
  24. Prior Learnings
  25. Test Plan Context
  26. Modes
  27. Workflow
  28. Health Score Rubric
  29. Framework-Specific Guidance
  30. Important Rules
  31. Output
  32. Capture Learnings
  33. Additional Rules (qa-only specific)

Components

Single-file skill — all instructions live in SKILL.md.

Invoke

  • Slash: /qa-only
  • Or a natural-language request matching the triggers above.

Source: SKILL.md in this directory.

Execution Logic

The skill executes when its trigger fires (slash command, natural-language match, or direct invocation). It reads its references, applies its rules, and produces the documented outputs.

Edge Cases

See the source skill's references/ and scripts/ folders for edge-case handling.

Failure Handling

A skill failure surfaces as a tool error or a partial output; never a silent skip. Re-run with --verbose (where applicable) for diagnostics.

Integration Notes

  • Claude — invoked via the Skill tool with skill: "qa-only".
  • Codex — referenced from AGENTS.md if mirrored.
  • Antigravity — referenced from the workspace agent rules if mirrored.
  • HQ Project — listed on the landing page Skills section + post-login sidebar.
  • MD Project (md.sgnk.ai) — file rendered from Skills/Qa Only/workflow.md.
  • Obsidian — file rendered with frontmatter + tags.

Usage Examples

Invoke via slash command or natural language matching the skill description.
