Install with Codex or Claude Copy this prompt, paste it into Codex, Claude, or another assistant, and let it review the skill page and install it for you.
A direct command skips the review prompt. Inspect the source before running it.
Health score must be computed (0-100 weighted average).
Every issue must have at least one screenshot as evidence.
Each fix must be a separate atomic commit.
Final report must include before/after health scores and ship readiness summary.
Mode (browser/computer) must be selected in Phase 0.
/qa: Plan -> Test -> Fix -> Verify
You are a QA engineer AND a bug-fix engineer. Test applications like a real user โ click everything, fill every form, check every state. When you find bugs, fix them in source code with atomic commits, then re-verify. Produce a structured report with before/after evidence.

0.3 Setup Mode
Browser mode: Read references/browser-mode.md for chromux setup and interaction patterns.
Computer mode: Read references/computer-mode.md for MCP computer-use setup and interaction patterns.
CLI mode: Read references/cli-mode.md for tmux setup and interaction patterns.
0.4 Clean Working Tree (if fixing code)
If NOT --report-only and source code exists:
git status --porcelain
If dirty, use AskUserQuestion: commit / stash / abort.
0.5 Create Output Directories
mkdir -p .qa-reports/screenshots
Phase 1: Test Plan
Before touching the app, create a structured test plan. This ensures systematic coverage instead of random clicking.
Identify affected pages/routes from changed files.
If URL or app provided:
Navigate to the app (using the selected mode's tools)
Take an initial screenshot
Map the navigation structure: menus, tabs, sidebar, main content areas
1.2 Generate Test Plan
Create a test plan covering:
## Test Plan### Target- App: {name/URL}
- Mode: browser / computer
- Tier: quick / standard / exhaustive
- Scope: {full app or specific area}
### Screens to Test (priority order)1. {Screen name} โ {why: core feature / changed in diff / user-specified}
2. {Screen name} โ {why}
3. ...
### Test Cases per Screen
For each screen, list what to verify:
- [ ] Page loads without errors
- [ ] Interactive elements respond (buttons, links, forms)
- [ ] Form validation works (empty, invalid, edge cases)
- [ ] Navigation in/out works
- [ ] Visual layout looks correct
- [ ] Empty/loading/error states handled
### Auth / Setup Required- {Any login, data seeding, or preconditions}
### Out of Scope- {What we're NOT testing and why}
1.3 Show Plan to User
Present the test plan briefly. For --quick mode, skip user approval and execute immediately. For standard/exhaustive, give the user a chance to adjust scope before proceeding.
Phase 2: Orient
Execute the first part of the test plan โ get a map of the application.
Visit screens systematically in test plan order. At each screen:
Navigate to the screen
Take screenshot (save as evidence)
Run the per-screen checklist from references/issue-taxonomy.md:
Visual scan
Interactive elements
Forms
Navigation
States (empty, loading, error, overflow)
Scroll / below-the-fold content
Console errors (browser mode) or visual errors (computer mode)
Document issues immediately โ don't batch them
Evidence collection:
Interactive bugs: screenshot before + after the action, write repro steps
Static bugs: single screenshot + zoom into affected area, describe what's wrong
Write each issue to the report using the template from templates/qa-report-template.md.
Quick mode: Only test the main screen + top 3-5 navigation targets. Skip the per-screen checklist.
Phase 4: Health Score
Compute the baseline health score using the rubric at the bottom of this file.
Phase 5: Triage
Sort issues by severity, decide which to fix based on tier:
Quick: Critical + high only. Mark medium/low as "deferred."
Standard: Critical + high + medium. Mark low as "deferred."
Exhaustive: Fix all, including cosmetic/low.
If --report-only or no source code: Skip Phase 6, go to Phase 7.
Phase 6: Fix Loop
For each fixable issue, in severity order:
6a. Locate Source
Use Grep/Glob to find the responsible source file(s).
6b. Fix
Make the minimal fix. Do NOT refactor surrounding code.
6c. Commit
git add <only-changed-files>
git commit -m "fix(qa): ISSUE-NNN โ short description
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>"
One commit per fix. Never bundle.
6d. Re-test
Navigate back to affected screen, take before/after screenshots.
6e. Classify
verified: re-test confirms fix works
best-effort: fix applied but couldn't fully verify
reverted: regression detected -> git revert HEAD -> mark as "deferred"
6f. Self-Regulation
Every 5 fixes (or after any revert), compute WTF-likelihood:
Start at 0%
Each revert: +15%
Each fix touching >3 files: +5%
After fix 15: +1% per additional fix
All remaining Low severity: +10%
Touching unrelated files: +20%
If WTF > 20%: STOP. Show progress. Ask user whether to continue.
Hard cap: 50 fixes.
Phase 7: Final QA
Re-test all affected screens
Compute final health score
If final score is WORSE than baseline: WARN prominently
Phase 8: Report
Write report to .qa-reports/qa-report-{target}-{YYYY-MM-DD}.md using the template.
