Based on SOC occupation classification
้กฝ็ฎๅถ้ โ Fuse multiple external skill repos/sources into an existing skill to create a unified, more capable version. Use when the user says 'merge these skills', 'combine X into Y', 'absorb the best parts of A/B/C into Z', 'upgrade this skill with features from those repos', or provides multiple GitHub URLs and asks to integrate them into a single skill. Also triggers on 'audit these skills and see if they can enhance ours'.
Conducts multi-axis code review. Use before merging any change. Use when reviewing code written by yourself, another agent, or a human. Use when you need to assess code quality across multiple dimensions before it enters the main branch.
Guides systematic root-cause debugging. Use when tests fail, builds break, behavior doesn't match expectations, or you encounter any unexpected error. Use when you need a systematic approach to finding and fixing the root cause rather than guessing.
Structures git workflow practices. Use when making any code change. Use when committing, branching, resolving conflicts, or when you need to organize work across multiple parallel streams.
Breaks work into ordered tasks. Use when you have a spec or clear requirements and need to break work into implementable tasks. Use when a task feels too large to start, when you need to estimate scope, or when parallel work is possible.
Drives development with tests. Use when implementing any logic, fixing any bug, or changing any behavior. Use when you need to prove that code works, when a bug report arrives, or when you're about to modify existing functionality.

Uses the browser automation MCP (claude-in-chrome, Playwright, or Puppeteer) to interact with live pages like a real user.
Browser QA drives real auth and real user journeys, so treat the blast radius explicitly. Default to read-only: never run a mutating journey (checkout, payment, delete, mass-update) against a production URL โ require an explicit opt-in and a staging/preview URL. Use seeded test credentials, never real production logins, and redact credentials/tokens/PII before saving any screenshot.
1. Navigate to target URL
2. Check for console errors (filter noise: analytics, third-party)
3. Verify no 4xx/5xx in network requests
4. Screenshot above-the-fold on desktop + mobile viewport
5. Check Core Web Vitals: LCP < 2.5s, CLS < 0.1, INP < 200ms
(INP replaced FID in March 2024; thresholds per web.dev)
1. Click every nav link โ verify no dead links
2. Submit forms with valid data โ verify success state
3. Submit forms with invalid data โ verify error state
4. Test auth flow: login โ protected page โ logout (test creds only, never prod)
5. Test critical user journeys (checkout, onboarding, search)
โ read-only by default; only exercise mutating journeys against staging
with explicit opt-in (see "Safety first" above)
1. Screenshot key pages at 3 breakpoints (375px, 768px, 1440px)
2. Compare against committed baseline screenshots
โ no baseline โ report INCONCLUSIVE, never a silent PASS
3. Flag layout shifts > 5px, missing elements, overflow
4. Check dark mode if applicable
1. Run axe-core or equivalent on each page
2. Flag WCAG 2.2 AA violations (contrast, labels, focus order)
3. Verify keyboard navigation works end-to-end
4. Check screen reader landmarks
Note: axe-core automatically covers roughly 30โ40% of WCAG. A clean run is necessary, not sufficient โ keyboard nav, focus order, and a screen-reader pass still need a manual check. Don't report "accessible" from an automated pass alone.
## QA Report โ [URL] โ [timestamp]
### Smoke Test
- Console errors: 0 critical, 2 warnings (analytics noise)
- Network: all 200/304, no failures
- Core Web Vitals: LCP 1.2s โ, CLS 0.02 โ, INP 89ms โ
### Interactions
- [โ] Nav links: 12/12 working
- [โ] Contact form: missing error state for invalid email
- [โ] Auth flow: login/logout working
### Visual
- [โ] Hero section overflows on 375px viewport
- [โ] Dark mode: all pages consistent
### Accessibility
- 2 AA violations: missing alt text on hero image, low contrast on footer links
### Verdict: SHIP WITH FIXES (2 issues, 0 blockers)
# verdict โ SHIP / SHIP WITH FIXES / DO NOT SHIP; use INCONCLUSIVE if no visual baseline
