Alloy QA
Use this skill when verification needs more than unit tests: UI flows, install output, generated files, docs/runtime parity, accessibility, or regression risk.
Inputs
- Task id and approved plan.
- Target URL, command, artifact, or package output.
- Known baseline or expected behavior.
- Required browser/device/environment if relevant.
Artifact
Write:
.alloy/tasks/<task-id>/qa.md
Also summarize important QA results in progress.md.

Tiers
- quick: smoke checks for the changed surface.
- standard: smoke plus main regression paths.
- exhaustive: standard plus edge cases, accessibility, visual inspection, and generated artifacts.
Rules
- Do not mark
verified only from QA impressions; tie it to commands or inspectable artifacts.
- Include exact screenshots, URLs, files, or command outputs when relevant.
- Record blockers in
progress.md.
Final Output
Report tier, checks run, failures, fixed issues, remaining risks, and release recommendation.
