/gobby qa
Use this skill when the user invokes /gobby qa to run the same read-only
QA reviewer that lifecycle dispatch uses, independent of gobby build.
The workflow definition is src/gobby/install/shared/workflows/qa.yaml.
Inputs
Resolve a task ref before dispatch. Accept #N, a numeric ref, or a dotted
task path. If the user does not provide one, ask for the task ref.
Mode Selection
Ask for the I/D mode unless it is already clear from the user's request:
I) Interactive - dispatch qa-reviewer and surface the run ids.
D) Delegated - dispatch qa-reviewer and end the turn.
Persist the choice as value="interactive" | "delegated" for the handoff.
Both modes use the qa-reviewer agent and the shared workflow YAML.
Verdict Contract
The QA loop is read-only. The qa-reviewer checks the diff, runs focused
validation, and emits exactly one verdict:
- approve with
approve_review(stage_name="development")
- reject with
reject_review(stage_name="development")
- escalate with
escalate_task
For tasks marked tdd:required or requesting test-driven-development, the
reviewer must reject unless red, green, refactor/final-green, exact test command,
and test-quality audit evidence are present.
Use the explicit user-facing summary approve / reject / escalate when
describing possible outcomes.
Dispatch
Run the qa workflow with the resolved task id:
call_tool("gobby-workflows", "run_pipeline", {
"name": "qa",
"inputs": {
"task_id": "<task_ref>",
"mode": "<interactive|delegated>"
}
})
Surface the returned execution id. The spawned qa-reviewer owns the verdict;
this skill does not edit files, commit, approve, reject, or escalate itself.
Boundaries
- Do not edit files from this skill.
- Do not call
close_task; the lifecycle dispatcher owns closure.
- Do not replace the
qa-reviewer agent instructions here.
