SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Teams often ship code without systematic test planning or independent verification, leading to missed edge cases, scope drift, and regressions. This Skill provides a Quality Guardian role that plans testing upfront and rigorously validates implementations against requirements before merge. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Test Planning Mode: Generates structured test plans mapping requirements to unit, integration, and edge-case test scenarios with acceptance criteria tables. - Verification Mode: Runs existing test suites, checks acceptance criteria, enforces TDD commit patterns (red/green/refactor), and detects scope drift and coherence issues against the PRD and architecture. - Plugin Lint Mode: Validates the Circle plugin's internal consistency across 8 checks including skill registry sync, frontmatter validity, workflow gate integrity, and version alignment. - Use Case: After an implementation is complete, invoke the skill to produce a test report with a PASS/CONDITIONAL PASS/REJECT verdict, P0-P3 issue severity ratings, and a traceability table linking code back to PRD work items. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to verify the current implementation against the requirements and produce a test report with a quality gate verdict.

Frequently Asked Questions about qa

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a test plan from requirements?▼

Invoke the skill before implementation to run Test Planning Mode. It reads requirements from scope/requirements.md or refine/PRD.md and generates a test plan mapping each requirement to unit, integration, and edge-case test scenarios with priority levels.

How do I verify an implementation against acceptance criteria?▼

Run the skill after implementation to trigger Verification Mode. It executes the existing test suite, checks each acceptance criterion, and produces a test report with a PASS, CONDITIONAL PASS, or REJECT verdict based on issue severity.

Does the skill enforce TDD commit patterns?▼

Yes, TDD checking is enabled by default. It inspects git history for test(red), feat(green), and optional refactor commits per unit. With hard enforcement, a missing red or green commit results in a REJECT verdict.

What is the plugin lint mode used for?▼

Invoking the skill with the lint argument validates the Circle plugin's internal consistency. It runs 8 checks covering skill registry sync, frontmatter validity, command prefixes, workflow gate integrity, documentation sync, and version alignment.

When does the quality gate block a merge?▼

The verdict is REJECT when any P0 issue is found, such as circular dependencies or TDD cycle violations. P1 issues produce a CONDITIONAL PASS, while only P2/P3 issues result in a PASS verdict.
