Download Zip Downloading... More from this repository Ruflo is a multi-agent orchestration platform for AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Copilot, Gemini, Amp, +12 more). Use this skill when the user wants to (1) install/init ruflo in a project, (2) run multi-agent swarms with hierarchical coordination, (3) use ruflo's 314+ MCP tools for memory, routing, hooks, sub-agents, or workflows, (4) check ruflo status/version/doctor health, or (5) discover which of ruflo's 30+ plugins fits their task.
Build dependency-aware execution plans for complex Agentic QE, Ruflo, integration, migration, or multi-stream engineering programs. Use when Codex must turn research or requirements into phased work, select a small AQE fleet, map critical paths and parallel streams, define acceptance gates, or sequence risky changes. Use aqe-plan-quality instead when the primary output is only a test or quality plan.
Conduct evidence-first technical research for Agentic QE, Ruflo, related ruvnet projects, or external tools. Use when Codex must investigate a repository, compare current upstream changes, trace dependencies and history, distinguish verified facts from inference, or synthesize findings into actionable engineering recommendations. Do not use for a simple known-answer lookup or an implementation-only task.

Agentic Quality Engineering
<default_to_action>
When implementing agentic QE or coordinating agents:
SPAWN appropriate agent(s) for the task using Task tool with agent type
CONFIGURE agent coordination (hierarchical/mesh/sequential)
EXECUTE with PACTS principles: Proactive analysis, Autonomous operation, Collaborative feedback, Targeted risk focus, Structured governance (observability and explainability of agent behavior)
VALIDATE results through quality gates before deployment
LEARN from outcomes - store patterns in aqe/learning/* namespace
Quick Agent Selection:
Test generation needed → qe-test-generator
Coverage gaps → qe-coverage-analyzer
Quality decision → qe-quality-gate
Security scan → qe-security-scanner
Performance test → qe-performance-tester
Full pipeline → qe-fleet-commander
Critical Success Factors:
Agents amplify human expertise, not replace it
Human-in-the-loop for critical decisions
Measure: bugs caught, time saved, coverage improved

Coordination Patterns Hierarchical: fleet-commander → [generators] → [executors] → quality-gate
Mesh: test-gen ↔ coverage ↔ quality (peer decisions)
Sequential: risk-analyzer → test-gen → executor → coverage → gate
Success Criteria ✅ 10x deployment frequency with same/better quality
✅ Coverage gaps detected in real-time
✅ Bugs caught pre-production
❌ Agents acting without human oversight on critical decisions
❌ Deploying all 19 agents at once (start with 1-2)
Core Concepts
QE Evolution Stage Approach Limitation Traditional Manual everything Human bottleneck Automation Scripts + fixed scenarios Needs orchestration Agentic AI agents + human judgment Requires trust-building
Core Premise: Agents amplify human expertise for 10x scale.
Key Capabilities 1. Intelligent Test Generation
const tests = await qeTestGenerator.generate (prDiff);
2. Pattern Detection - Scan logs, find anomalies, correlate errors
3. Adaptive Strategy - Adjust test focus based on risk signals
4. Root Cause Analysis - Link failures to code changes, suggest fixes
Agent Coordination
Memory Namespaces aqe/test-plan/* - Test planning decisions
aqe/coverage/* - Coverage analysis results
aqe/quality/* - Quality metrics and gates
aqe/learning/* - Patterns and Q-values
aqe/coordination/* - Cross-agent state
Memory Operations (MCP Tools) CRITICAL : Always use aqe memory store with persist: true for learnings.
1. Store data to persistent memory:
// Store test plan decisions (persisted to .agentic-qe/memory.db)
aqe memory store \
--key "aqe/test-plan/pr-123" \
--namespace "aqe/test-plan" \
--value '{...}' \
--json
2. Retrieve prior learnings before task:
// Query patterns before starting test generation
const priorData = await aqe memory get --key "aqe/learning/patterns/test-generation/*" --namespace "aqe/learning" --json
// Use patterns to guide current task
if (priorData.success) {
console.log(`Loaded ${priorData.patterns.length} prior patterns`);
}
3. Store coverage analysis results:
aqe memory store \
--key "aqe/coverage/auth-module" \
--namespace "aqe/coverage" \
--value '{...}' \
--json
Three-Phase Memory Protocol For coordinated multi-agent tasks, use the STATUS → PROGRESS → COMPLETE pattern:
// PHASE 1: STATUS - Task starting
aqe memory store \
--key "aqe/coordination/task-123/status" \
--namespace "aqe/coordination" \
--value '{...}' \
--json
// PHASE 2: PROGRESS - Intermediate updates
aqe memory store \
--key "aqe/coordination/task-123/progress" \
--namespace "aqe/coordination" \
--value '{...}' \
--json
// PHASE 3: COMPLETE - Task finished
aqe memory store \
--key "aqe/coordination/task-123/complete" \
--namespace "aqe/coordination" \
--value '{...}' \
--json

Limitations & Strengths
Agents Excel At
Volume : Scan thousands of logs in secondsPatterns : Find correlations humans missTireless : 24/7 testing and monitoringSpeed : Instant code change analysis
Agents Need Humans For
Business context and priorities
Ethical judgment and trade-offs
Creative exploration ("what if" scenarios)
Domain expertise (healthcare, finance, legal)
Best Practices Do Don't Start with one agent, one use case Deploy all 18 at once Build feedback loops early Deploy and forget Human reviews agent output Auto-merge without review Measure bugs caught, time saved Track vanity metrics (test count) Build trust gradually Give full autonomy immediately
Trust Progression Month 1: Agent suggests → Human decides
Month 2: Agent acts → Human reviews after
Month 3: Agent autonomous on low-risk
Month 4: Agent handles critical with oversight
