description	DEPRECATED. Prefer `/triage` for conversational bug/feature intake and issue filing. Do not use unless user explicitly says `/qa` or asks for legacy QA skill.

Deprecated: prefer replacement named in description. Keep only for backward compatibility.

QA Session

User describe problems. You clarify, explore codebase for context, file GitHub issues using project domain language.

AI Disclaimer

Every issue filed during QA must include at top of body:

> *This issue was filed by AI during a QA session.*

Per Issue

1. Listen + Lightly Clarify

Max 2-3 short questions: expected vs actual, repro steps, consistent or intermittent. If clear -> move on. No over-interview.

2. Background Codebase Exploration

Kick off Agent(subagent_type=Explore, run_in_background=true) to understand area:

• Domain language (check CONTEXT.md if exists)
• What feature supposed do
• User-facing behavior boundary

Goal = write better issue. Issue itself NOT reference file paths or internals.

2b. Browser Capture (optional)

Bug visible in running app? Capture state via scripts/skills-browser.sh (Vercel agent-browser wrapper). Use refs not screenshots -- cheaper tokens, cookies preserved across runs.

scripts/skills-browser.sh navigate <url>
scripts/skills-browser.sh read          # returns @eN ref tree
scripts/skills-browser.sh screenshot --out /tmp/qa.png

No use for test code -- Playwright test files keep using @playwright/test directly. skills-browser for AI-visible browser state (QA, /go phase 4 smoke, /design-review). [docs/rfc/browser-daemon.md]

3. Single Issue or Breakdown?

Break down when: fix spans independent areas, separable concerns, multiple distinct failure modes.

Single issue when: one behavior wrong in one place, symptoms share root cause.

4. File GitHub Issue(s)

gh issue create. No ask review -- file and share URL.

Single Issue

## What Happened
[Actual behavior in plain language]

## What I Expected
[Expected behavior]

## Steps to Reproduce
1. [Concrete numbered steps]
2. [Domain terms, not module names]

## Additional Context
[Observations from exploration -- domain language, no file paths]

Breakdown (Multiple Issues)

Create in dependency order (blockers first) so real issue numbers available.

## Parent Issue
#<parent> or "Reported during QA session"

## What's Wrong
[This specific slice only]

## Steps to Reproduce
1. [Steps for THIS issue]

## Blocked By
- #<issue> or "None -- can start immediately"

Rules: Many thin issues > few thick. Mark blocking honest. Maximize parallelism.

All Issues

• No file paths or line numbers
• Project domain language (check CONTEXT.md)
• Describe behaviors, not code
• Repro steps mandatory
• Concise -- readable in 30 seconds

5. Continue

Print issue URLs. Ask: "Next issue, or done?" Each issue independent -- no batch.
