What QA does

QA verifies a feature after implementation by tracing the wiring, running the happy path, and trying to break it with edge cases and failure modes. Use it when you need an actionable finding or explicit adversarial validation.

QA is cataloged under Quality on DirSkills. QA comes from a repository tagged acp, agent-orchestration, agentic-ai, agentic-development-environment and ai-agents.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

QA

Planner Entry

Run /qa only when the user explicitly requests adversarial validation or an actionable PR/CI finding needs it. Do not add QA as a pre-PR quality gate: task-defined tests and the two PR AI reviewers are the default evidence.

Verify that a feature works as intended after implementation. Assume bugs exist and hunt for them.

Mindset: you are not confirming it works — you are discovering where it breaks.

Available skills

/tdd — Use when unit or integration coverage is missing.
/e2e — Use when a user-facing flow lacks browser coverage.

Each one is a separate skill with its own page in this directory, installs the same way QA does, and is maintained by kdlbs in that same repository. The rest of the collection is listed on the kdlbs/kandev page.
How does QA compare to other Quality skills?
QA ranks #1079 by stars among the 1354 Quality skills in this catalog. The most-starred ones next to it are Benchmark, Benchmark Optimization Loop and API Design Patterns. DirSkills ranks by the star count of the repository each skill ships in, so that order reflects how popular those repositories are rather than any review of QA against them.
