What does this skill do?

The Quality Assurance skill merges three quality dimensions into one framework: testing strategy, code-quality enforcement, and validation-gate checking.

For testing it designs a test pyramid with coverage targets and framework choices; for code quality it enforces standards with a review checklist and scoring rubric; for gates it defines phase-transition criteria that prevent premature progression.

It ensures code is tested, maintainable, and production-ready throughout development, with concrete deliverables and success metrics.

  • Designs test pyramids with coverage targets

  • Enforces code-quality standards with a review checklist

  • Defines phase entry/exit validation gates

  • Produces a quality dashboard and metrics

How it works

1

Design the testing strategy

The agent designs a 70/20/10 test pyramid with coverage targets and framework choices, and plans CI/CD automation.

2

Enforce code quality

It reviews for readability, maintainability, security, and type safety using a pre-review checklist and a 0–100 scoring rubric.

3

Set validation gates

It defines entry and exit criteria for each phase, from discovery through deployment, to prevent premature transitions.

4

Track quality

It produces deliverables — a test strategy, quality standards, gate criteria, and a quality dashboard with trends.

Best use cases for this skill

  • Testing infrastructure: Establish a test pyramid and coverage targets.

  • Code reviews: Apply a checklist and scoring rubric to a review.

  • Phase readiness: Validate entry/exit criteria before moving phases.

  • Quality standards: Set team-wide quality and CI/CD enforcement.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Quality Assurance skill do?

It combines testing strategy, code-quality enforcement, and validation gates into one framework — test pyramids, coverage targets, review checklists, and phase-transition criteria.

When should an agent use it?

Use it when establishing testing infrastructure, conducting code reviews, validating phase readiness, setting quality standards, or ensuring production readiness.

What test-pyramid ratio does it use?

A 70/20/10 split — about 70% unit tests, 20% integration, and 10% end-to-end — with higher coverage targets for critical code like auth and payments.

What common pitfalls does it warn about?

Testing implementation details instead of behavior, insufficient edge-case coverage, skipping phase gates to ship faster, and manual checks instead of automation.
