Automated summary

A single entry point that picks and runs the right qa-* script (dev, pass, or full), then checks TypeScript, tests, and build before reporting results.

Strengths

  • Automatically selects the QA level based on context (development, feature completion, pre-ship)
  • Enforces an upfront TypeScript check that fails fast on type errors
  • Produces a standardized report with test counts and a failure summary
  • Clear rules for when to fix, when to flag without blocking, and when to look for a systemic cause

Limitations

  • Assumes the scripts scripts/qa-dev.mjs, qa-pass.mjs, and qa-full.mjs already exist, plus a dev server on port 3100
  • Does not describe what those scripts actually check or which test types they cover
  • The fix/flag decision tree is heuristic (3 and 5 failure thresholds) and may not fit every project
When to use it

Use it when you want a consistent, full quality pass after finishing a feature or right before shipping.

When not to use it

Avoid it on projects that lack the qa-* scripts or the described Node/TypeScript setup, or when you only need to test a single file.

Security analysis

Safe
Quality score82/100

The skill is a thin orchestration layer: it selects a QA level, runs `npx tsc --noEmit` and an existing `scripts/qa-[level].mjs`, then reports results. All execution is local and non-destructive, and it explicitly tells the agent not to fake results or skip the type check. The only meaningful risk is that it invokes repository scripts the reader can't see, which is normal for an in-repo tooling skill.

Findings
  • •Runs repo-local scripts (scripts/qa-*.mjs via `node`) and `npx tsc` without inspecting their contents — risk is inherited from the host repository, not introduced by this skill
  • •Assumes a dev server at http://localhost:3100; no credentials or data are sent anywhere
  • •No network exfiltration, no destructive filesystem commands, no obfuscated payloads, no safety-disable instructions
How this analysis is made

Examples

Standard QA pass
/qa — run a quality check on the auth refactor I just finished.
Quick sanity check
Run a quick QA check, I just want to know if anything is obviously broken.
Pre-ship full QA
Run everything — full QA before I ship this session.

name: qa description: Unified QA pass using existing qa-* scripts. Runs appropriate quality checks based on scope (dev/pass/full). Use when user says /qa, "run tests", "quality check", "is it broken", or before shipping work.

QA (Unified Quality Assurance Pass)

Purpose

Single entry point for all QA scripts. Pick the right level based on context.

Levels

| Level | Script | When | Duration | | ------ | --------------------- | -------------------------------- | -------- | | dev | scripts/qa-dev.mjs | Quick sanity during development | ~30s | | pass | scripts/qa-pass.mjs | After completing a feature | ~2min | | full | scripts/qa-full.mjs | Before shipping / end of session | ~5min |

Procedure

Phase 1: Select Level

  • Default: pass (covers most cases)
  • If user says "quick": use dev
  • If user says "full" or "everything": use full
  • If about to /ship or /close-session: use full

Phase 2: Pre-Flight

  1. Confirm dev server at http://localhost:3100
  2. Run npx tsc --noEmit --skipLibCheck first (type errors = instant fail)
  3. If tsc fails: fix type errors, then continue

Phase 3: Execute

node scripts/qa-[level].mjs

Capture output. Parse results.

Phase 4: Report

## QA [level] Results [date]

TypeScript: PASS/FAIL
Tests: X passed, Y failed, Z skipped
Build: PASS/FAIL (if full level)

### Failures (if any)
- [test name]: [error summary]

Phase 5: Fix or Flag

  • If < 3 failures and they're in code you touched: fix them
  • If failures are in unrelated code: flag but don't block
  • If > 5 failures: something systemic, investigate root cause

Constraints

  • Never skip tsc check
  • Never report "all good" without actually running the script
  • If script doesn't exist or errors on startup, report that (don't fake results)

From the file to a first result

The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.

View the source and supporting files

This download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.

1. Download the file

Download SKILL.md

From the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/unified-qa-procedure-mrx3xwl4/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.

Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.

mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/unified-qa-procedure-mrx3xwl4' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/unified-qa-procedure-mrx3xwl4/download' --output '.skill-downloads/unified-qa-procedure-mrx3xwl4/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/unified-qa-procedure-mrx3xwl4/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/unified-qa-procedure-mrx3xwl4/SKILL.md'

2. Check prerequisites

Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.

No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.

The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.

3. Load the skill

After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

test -f '.skill-downloads/unified-qa-procedure-mrx3xwl4/SKILL.md' && test -s '.skill-downloads/unified-qa-procedure-mrx3xwl4/SKILL.md' && mkdir -p '.claude/skills' && test ! -e '.claude/skills/qa' && cp -R '.skill-downloads/unified-qa-procedure-mrx3xwl4' '.claude/skills/qa'

OpenSkills

OpenSkills must already be installed. The local install/read procedure is checked with OpenSkills 1.5.0, which requires Node.js ≥ 20.6.0. Catalog slugs are not resolved automatically.

Official OpenSkills installation
openskills install './.skill-downloads/unified-qa-procedure-mrx3xwl4'

openskills read 'unified-qa-procedure-mrx3xwl4'

Reading should display the installed file content and its base directory. It does not run the skill or install its dependencies.

For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.

openskills sync

Manual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.

4. Try a first task

Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:

Read .skill-downloads/unified-qa-procedure-mrx3xwl4/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.

Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
