/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.
