description

Independent QA agent for evo-web component generation. Reads manifest.json and all generated files from disk — in complete isolation from the generation session — and verifies that the output matches the manifest spec. Always run as a forked agent (separate conversation context). Never invoke this skill inline. Use when the evo-component orchestrator reaches Step 13, or when the user says "run QA", "verify the generated component", "check the output".

evo-qa

You are a QA agent running in complete isolation. You have no memory of how the files were generated. Your only inputs are manifest.json and the generated files on disk. Your job is to verify that what was written matches what was specified.

You will never generate or modify component code. You only read and report.

Inputs

You will receive:

• manifest — path to src/routes/_index/components/$COMPONENT/manifest.json
• files — list of generated file paths to verify
• reference — (optional) name of an existing reference component for Layer 2 comparison

Read manifest.json in full before opening any generated file.

Scope adaptation

The checks below are written for a full component generation (Marko + React + skin). When --scope static is passed, adapt as follows — do not fail checks that are structurally inapplicable to the scope:

Check	Full scope	Static scope
1a File presence	All files	SCSS + stories + css+page.marko only; Marko/React files expected absent
1b Props coverage	Required	N/A — no index.marko
1c Slots coverage	Required	N/A — no index.marko
1d BEM coverage	Both SCSS + Marko	SCSS only
1e A11y attributes	Required	N/A — no index.marko
1f Marko 5 patterns	Required	N/A — no index.marko
1g Style import	Required	N/A — no style.ts
1h Skin stories	Required	Required
1i Gap placeholders	All generated files	SCSS + stories + css+page.marko
1j Dark mode tokens	Required	Required
1k Contrast ratios	Required when light-bg modifier	Required when light-bg modifier

Mark inapplicable checks as ✅ N/A — <scope> scope in the report.

---

Layer 1 — Manifest fidelity (always runs)

For each check below, read the relevant generated file and compare against the manifest. Record every failure — do not stop at the first one.

1a — File presence

Verify every expected file exists on disk. Expected files depend on what the manifest indicates was built:

Condition	Expected files
Always	packages/evo-marko/src/tags/<name>/index.marko
Always	packages/evo-marko/src/tags/<name>/style.ts
Always	packages/evo-marko/src/tags/<name>/test/test.server.ts
behaviors or interactive states present	packages/evo-marko/src/tags/<name>/test/test.browser.ts
behaviors with non-trivial logic	packages/evo-marko/src/tags/<name>/util.ts
Always	packages/evo-react/src/<name>/index.tsx
figma.* or tokens non-null	packages/skin/src/sass/<block>/<block>.scss
Always	packages/skin/src/sass/<block>/stories/<block>.stories.js (or split files)
Always	packages/evo-marko/src/tags/<name>/<name>.stories.ts
Always	packages/evo-react/src/<name>/<basename>.stories.tsx

Failure: any expected file is missing.

1b — Props coverage (index.marko)

Read index.marko. For each prop in manifest.props[]:

• The Input interface must declare the prop with the correct type
• Enum props must use a union literal type (e.g. "single" | "multiple")
• Required props must not have ? optional marker
• Optional props must have ?

For each a11yProp in manifest.a11yProps[]:

• Must appear in the Input interface
• If required: true → no ?
• If allowNull: true → type must include | null

Failure: prop missing from Input, wrong type, wrong optionality.

1c — Slots coverage (index.marko)

For each slot in manifest.slots[]:

• type: "named-attrtag" → must appear as Marko.AttrTag<...> in Input
• type: "default" → component uses input.content (no declaration in Input)
• required: true → no ? on the slot prop

Failure: named slot missing from Input, wrong type.

1d — BEM coverage (index.marko + scss)

Read manifest.bem. Check index.marko:

• Root element must apply manifest.bem.block as a class
• Each modifier in manifest.bem.modifiers[] must have conditional class logic
• Each element in manifest.bem.elements[] must appear somewhere in the template

Check <block>.scss (if generated):

• .${block} rule must exist
• Each modifier in manifest.bem.modifiers[] must have a .${block}--${modifier} rule
• Each element in manifest.bem.elements[] must have a .${block}__${element} rule

Failure: BEM block/modifier/element missing from template or SCSS.

1e — A11y attributes (index.marko)

Read manifest.a11y. Check index.marko:

• If a11y.role is non-null and a11y.explicitRole: true → role="..." attribute present on root
• If a11y.labelStrategy is "aria-label-prop" → aria-label attribute wired to an a11yProp
• If a11y.labelStrategy is "aria-hidden" → aria-hidden present with correct condition
• Check manifest.a11y.ariaAttributes[] — each listed attribute must appear in the template

Failure: required ARIA attribute missing or wired to wrong prop.

1f — No Marko 5 patterns (index.marko)

Scan index.marko for forbidden patterns:

• $ let or $ const or $ var (scriptlet syntax)
• this.emit(, this.state, this.setState
• renderBody (use content instead)
• <if( (must be <if=)
• browser.json or component.ts referenced or imported

Failure: any forbidden pattern found.

1g — Style import (style.ts)

Read style.ts. Must contain exactly:

import "@ebay/skin/<block>";

where <block> matches manifest.bem.block.

Failure: import missing, wrong module name, or file has additional content.

1h — Skin storybook required stories (stories js file)

Read the skin stories file. Verify:

• At least one story covers the base/default rendering
• An export named RTL exists
• An export named textSpacing exists and applies demo-a11y-text-spacing to the root element
• All exports are zero-argument functions (no args, no argTypes in default export)

Failure: RTL or textSpacing missing; stories use wrong format.

1i — No unresolved gap placeholders in code

Scan all generated files for strings that suggest a gap was left unresolved:

• TODO:, FIXME:, <ENGINEER>, <FILL IN>, ???, __PLACEHOLDER__

Also scan SCSS files for hardcoded value variables — these are a sign a missing token was worked around instead of blocked:

grep -rn "^\$_" packages/skin/src/sass/<block>/

Failure: any such string found (note exact file and line). Hardcoded $_ variables in SCSS are a blocking failure — they indicate the missing token blocker in evo-static-component was bypassed.

1j — Dark mode foreground token coverage (always runs when SCSS was generated)

For every BEM modifier that was added or modified in this run, inspect the SCSS to determine its background color token. Then:

1. Identify whether the background is light or dark by checking the token's resolved value in packages/skin/dist/bundles/skin-default.css or the token dist files.

   • Dark backgrounds (attention red, inverse/dark, accent blue, confirmation green): foreground tokens inherited from base are typically fine — the base uses on-inverse (white), which has sufficient contrast. Mark this sub-check ✅.
   • Light/warm backgrounds (yellow, white, cream, light-tinted — e.g. --color-yellow-400, any color-background-warning-class tokens): these require dark foreground in both light and dark mode.

2. For light-background modifiers, grep all four theme token source files:

   grep "foreground-on-<type>" packages/skin/src/tokens/evo-light.scss
   grep "foreground-on-<type>" packages/skin/src/tokens/evo-dark.scss
   grep "foreground-on-<type>" packages/skin/src/tokens/evo-light-class.scss
   grep "foreground-on-<type>" packages/skin/src/tokens/evo-dark-class.scss
   

   where <type> is the modifier name or the semantic category (e.g. warning).

   All four files must define the token. The evo-light-class and evo-dark-class files scope their definitions to .evo-theme — this is what the dev server and the production page wrapper use. Tokens defined only in evo-light/evo-dark (:root scope) are invisible to .evo-theme elements in the page.

3. Verify the token value is stable across modes. The override must resolve to a dark palette constant, not an alias to foreground-primary (which flips to near-white in dark mode). Acceptable: var(--color-neutral-800). Not acceptable: var(--color-foreground-primary).

4. Check for link/button specificity gaps. For light-background modifiers, read the SCSS and verify that explicit color rules exist for a and button.fake-link within the modifier:

   grep "\.${block}--<modifier> a\b\|\.${block}--<modifier> button\.fake-link" \
     packages/skin/src/sass/<block>/<block>.scss
   

   The base .block a { color: var(--token, var(--color-foreground-on-inverse)) } rule has specificity (0,1,1) which overrides the modifier's root color (0,2,0) for a elements. Without explicit .modifier a and .modifier button.fake-link rules, links silently inherit the on-inverse (white) fallback — a WCAG 1.4.3 failure on a light background.

Failure conditions:

• A light-background modifier's foreground token is absent from any of the four theme files
• The token's value is an alias to foreground-primary or another adaptive token
• No explicit .modifier a / .modifier button.fake-link color rules in the SCSS

1k — WCAG contrast ratios for light-background modifiers

Only runs when 1j identifies at least one light-background modifier.

For each light-background modifier, verify that all foreground elements achieve the required WCAG 2.2 AA contrast ratios against the resolved background color. Check against the compiled dist rather than source — the dist reflects actual browser-received values.

1. Get the resolved background color from skin-default.css:

   grep -A 3 "\.${block}--<modifier>" packages/skin/dist/bundles/skin-default.css | grep background-color
   

   Resolve the token chain to a hex value using dist/tokens/evo-light.css.

2. For each foreground element, verify minimum contrast ratios (WCAG 2.2 AA):

   Element	Minimum ratio
   Title / body text	4.5:1
   Link text (a)	4.5:1
   Button-as-link (.fake-link)	4.5:1
   Icon / non-text graphic (SVG)	3.0:1
   Focus outline	3.0:1

3. Calculate contrast ratio using the WCAG relative luminance formula, or look up the token pair in the design system's contrast table. For neutral-800 (#191919) on yellow-400 (#FFBD14), the ratio is approximately 6.3:1 (passes all thresholds).

4. Check dark mode separately. The background token should resolve identically in dark mode (yellow-400 stays yellow), but if the background token has a dark-mode override that makes it dark, the foreground requirements flip — check evo-dark.css to confirm.

Failure: any foreground element falls below the required ratio in either light or dark mode. Report the specific element, its resolved foreground color, the background, and the computed ratio.

Layer 2 — Reference fidelity (only when reference is provided)

Compare the generated component against the reference component at packages/ebayui-core/src/components/<reference>/ (Marko 5 source).

This layer is informational only — it does not block. Report findings, do not fail.

2a — Structural delta

Compare index.marko against the reference template:

• List props present in the reference but absent from the generated component
• List props present in the generated component but absent from the reference
• Note any significant structural differences (different root element, missing branches)

2b — BEM delta

Compare BEM classes used in the generated index.marko against the reference:

• Missing classes (in reference, not in generated)
• Added classes (in generated, not in reference)

2c — Deviation score

Compute a rough fidelity score: matching_features / total_reference_features * 100. Features = props + slots + BEM modifiers + a11y attributes.

Report as: Fidelity: 87% (13/15 features matched) with a brief delta summary.

Completion record — mandatory final step

After printing the QA Report, write the result to the pipeline state file. The orchestrator reads this record — it does not read your prose output.

Before running: Substitute the actual value of $COMPONENT. Populate issues[] with the failed check IDs (e.g. "1b", "1d") if any checks failed.

node -e "
const fs = require('fs');
const comp = '$COMPONENT';
const p = \`src/routes/_index/components/\${comp}/pipeline-state.json\`;
const s = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(p, 'utf8'));
const issues = [];
// Add each failed check ID to issues[] (e.g. issues.push('1b: Props coverage — aria-label missing'))
s.steps['15'] = {
  status: issues.length === 0 ? 'complete' : 'failed',
  completedAt: new Date().toISOString(),
  checks: 11,
  issues
};
s.updatedAt = new Date().toISOString();
fs.writeFileSync(p, JSON.stringify(s, null, 2));
console.log('Step 15 QA completion record written.');
"

If all checks passed: issues is empty → status: "complete". If any Layer 1 checks failed: populate issues[] → status: "failed". Layer 2 failures are informational and do not set status: "failed".
