Arguments
<requirements-file> — path to a requirements doc, scenario spec, or vertical profile description (e.g., requirements/accounting-za-vertical.md or tasks/phase47-lifecycle-script.md)
[vertical-profile] — optional vertical profile slug (e.g., accounting-za, legal-za). If omitted, inferred from the requirements file.
Step 0 — Parse Input
Read the requirements file to determine:
Vertical profile — which industry/locale pack to test (e.g., accounting-za)
Firm persona — size, location, team roles, client types
Phase number — for file naming (check tasks/ for the next available phase number)
If the input IS already a lifecycle script (has "Day 0", "Day 1", checkpoint notation), skip to Step 2.
Step 1 — Generate Lifecycle Script
Dispatch a blockinggeneral-purpose subagent to write the lifecycle script:
You are writing a **90-day accelerated lifecycle script** for QA testing.
## Input
Read the requirements file at: {REQUIREMENTS_FILE}
## Context
- Platform: DocTeams (multi-tenant B2B SaaS)
- E2E stack: http://localhost:3001 (mock auth — Alice/Bob/Carol)
- Vertical profile: {VERTICAL_PROFILE}
- Playwright MCP for browser automation
## What to Write
Write a lifecycle script to: tasks/phase{N}-lifecycle-script.md
The script simulates the first 90 days of a firm using the platform. Structure:
### Format
- **Day 0**: Firm setup (branding, rates, templates, team)
- **Day 1-3**: First clients onboarded (different entity types)
- **Day 7**: First week of work (time logging, task management, collaboration)
- **Day 14**: Compliance review (checklists, document collection)
- **Day 30**: First billing cycle (invoices, retainer close, payment)
- **Day 45**: Expansion (new engagement types, expenses, bulk billing)
- **Day 60**: Quarterly review (profitability, rate review, reports)
- **Day 75**: Year-end work (annual engagements, regulatory deadlines)
- **Day 90**: Portfolio review (aged debtors, fork readiness assessment)
### Rules
- Each day has numbered checkpoints (e.g., 0.1, 0.2, 1.1)
- Each checkpoint has: Actor (Alice/Bob/Carol), Action, Expected Outcome
- Include prerequisite data blocks where time entries or other data must be created
- Use checkpoint notation: [ ] PASS / [ ] FAIL / [ ] PARTIAL
- Reference specific clients by name (create 3-5 diverse client personas)
- Include both happy path and edge cases
- Test role-based access (Owner vs Admin vs Member perspectives)
### Research
Before writing, search the codebase for:
1. Existing vertical profile packs in `backend/src/main/resources/` (field packs, template packs, compliance packs, automation packs, request template packs)
2. Available features in `frontend/app/(app)/org/[slug]/` (sidebar navigation items)
3. Existing lifecycle script examples in `tasks/` for format reference
4. The vertical profile's specific data model (custom fields, entity types, checklist items)
Incorporate ALL seeded pack content into the script — every field group, template, automation rule, checklist, and request template should be exercised at least once.
Step 2 — Run Gap Analysis
Dispatch a blockinggeneral-purpose subagent to analyze the codebase against the lifecycle script:
You are a **gap analysis agent** for the DocTeams platform.
## Input
Read the lifecycle script at: tasks/phase{N}-lifecycle-script.md
## Your Job
Walk through each day/checkpoint in the script and determine whether the platform
can execute it. Identify gaps — things the script expects but the platform doesn't support.
## Method
For each checkpoint:
1. Search the codebase for the feature it exercises
2. Determine: LIKELY_PASS (feature exists and looks correct), LIKELY_FAIL (feature missing or broken), UNCERTAIN (exists but untested)
3. For LIKELY_FAIL: log a gap with ID, description, severity, suggested fix, effort estimate
## Categories
- **missing-feature**: Feature doesn't exist in the codebase
- **bug**: Feature exists but has a defect
- **ux**: Feature works but the UX flow is broken or confusing
- **vertical-specific**: Feature exists generically but lacks vertical customization
- **content**: Seed data or template content is missing/incorrect
## Severity
- **blocker**: Prevents QA from proceeding to the next checkpoint
- **major**: Significant gap but workaround exists
- **minor**: Friction but functional
- **cosmetic**: Display/label issues only
## Output
Write the gap report to: tasks/phase{N}-gap-report-agent.md
Format:
```markdown
# Phase {N} — Agent Gap Report
## Generated: {date}
## Summary Statistics
| Category | Blocker | Major | Minor | Cosmetic | Total |
## Critical Path Blockers
{Detail each blocker}
## All Gaps (Chronological)
### GAP-001: {title}
**Day**: {N}
**Step**: {description}
**Category**: {category}
**Severity**: {severity}
**Description**: {2-3 sentences}
**Evidence**: {file paths, code references}
**Suggested fix**: {actionable description with effort S/M/L}
## Fork Readiness Assessment
{Overall verdict with percentage estimate}
Research Rules
Search the ACTUAL codebase, don't guess from architecture docs
Check backend controllers, services, and entities for feature existence
Check frontend pages and components for UI availability
Check seed data files for vertical-specific content
Include file paths as evidence
## Step 3 — Seed Status Tracker
Read the gap report and create `qa_cycle/status.md`:
```markdown
# QA Cycle Status — {DATE}
## Current State
- **QA Position**: Day 0, Checkpoint 0.1 (not started)
- **Cycle**: 0
- **E2E Stack**: Not running
- **Branch**: `bugfix_cycle_{DATE}`
- **Scenario**: `tasks/phase{N}-lifecycle-script.md`
## Tracker
| ID | Summary | Severity | Status | Owner | PR | Day | Notes |
|----|---------|----------|--------|-------|----|-----|-------|
{Extract each gap from the report as a row}
{Blocker gaps → Status: OPEN, Owner: Infra or Dev}
{Major gaps → Status: OPEN, Owner: Dev}
{Minor/cosmetic gaps that are clearly out of scope → Status: WONT_FIX}
## Status Values
- **OPEN** → **SPEC_READY** → **IN_PROGRESS** → **FIXED** → **VERIFIED** → done
- **REOPENED** (fix didn't work) → back to SPEC_READY
- **WONT_FIX** (documented, not blocking e2e flow)
- **BUG** (logged, prioritized, not blocking unless cascading)
## Log
| Timestamp | Agent | Action |
|-----------|-------|--------|
| {NOW} | Setup | Initial status seeded from gap report |
Triage Rules for Initial Seeding
When converting gap report entries to status tracker rows:
Blockers: Always OPEN, Owner: Infra (if seed/stack) or Dev (if code)
Major bugs: OPEN, Owner: Dev
Major new features (requires new entity, new API, new page): WONT_FIX with note "New feature. Out of scope for bugfix cycle."
Minor new features: WONT_FIX
Cosmetic: OPEN if quick fix (S effort), WONT_FIX if not
