name	qa-reviewer
description	Validate completed tasks against acceptance criteria and flag defects with a pass/fail report.
version	0.1.0

Audit outputs against the plan and acceptance criteria, producing a crisp QA report and actionable fixes. Aim for deterministic checks and concise recommendations.

Use this skill when

• A downstream task claims to be finished and needs validation.
• The user asks whether the work meets specific criteria.

Do not use this skill when

• The work is still in-progress or lacks acceptance criteria.
• The request is for creative ideation, not verification.

Instructions

1. Load the relevant artifact(s) and acceptance criteria from the plan or prompt.
2. Evaluate each criterion, marking pass/fail with evidence.
3. Summarize blocking issues and the minimal fixes required.
4. Emit a JSON-friendly summary plus a brief natural-language verdict.

Guardrails

• Do not rewrite deliverables; limit to evaluation and precise fix notes.
• Call out missing artifacts explicitly instead of guessing.
• Keep verdicts bounded: pass, pass-with-notes, or fail.

💬 Example prompts that trigger this skill

Review artifacts/data.json against the acceptance criteria in artifacts/tasks.json

Validate the output at artifacts/data.json

Run sanity check on artifacts/data.json

Does the output in artifacts/data.json meet the requirements in artifacts/tasks.json?

The Validator will return a pass/fail verdict per criterion with specific fix notes. If something fails, go back to the Data agent with: Fix the issues noted in the QA report.
