## What it does

The skill dispatches testing tasks across five distinct lenses: user flows, edge states, data honesty, API contracts, and UX critiques. Browser-based agents run concurrently using isolated Playwright MCP servers. Non-browser lenses inspect API payloads and store queries through `curl`.

Found issues graded P1 or P2 require manual reproduction before becoming backlog tickets. An agent report alone never marks an acceptance criterion as passed. The sweep stops immediately if the project tier is marked as a prototype. Running apps and isolated Playwright instances must be configured beforehand.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add awrshift/agent-memory-kit --skill qa-sweep -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/qa-sweep/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/qa-sweep/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add awrshift/agent-memory-kit --skill qa-sweep -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/qa-sweep/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add awrshift/agent-memory-kit --skill qa-sweep -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/qa-sweep/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install awrshift/agent-memory-kit qa-sweep
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/qa-sweep/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add awrshift/agent-memory-kit --skill qa-sweep -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/awrshift/agent-memory-kit --path plugins/memory-kit/skills/qa-sweep
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/qa-sweep/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add awrshift/agent-memory-kit --skill qa-sweep -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/awrshift/agent-memory-kit/tree/HEAD/plugins/memory-kit/skills/qa-sweep/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- Inspect running user interfaces across parallel browser lenses
- Verify API contracts and store query integrity using curl
- Convert verified reproduction steps into backlog issue tickets
- Validate specification acceptance criteria prior to project milestones

## Example prompts
- Run a qa sweep on the checkout flow
- Test the UI and check API error responses after the recent changes
- Walk the flows and find inconsistencies from the client perspective

description: >
  Run a multi-lens agent QA sweep of the RUNNING product: spawn `qa` agents (one per lens —
  user-flow · edge-state · honesty · contract · ux-critique), collect their structured
  findings, integrator-verify the load-bearing ones, and land verified findings as backlog
  tickets + a run record in the project's qa/ folder. Use whenever the user asks to QA, test, or probe the
  product from the user's side — "qa sweep", "test the UI", "walk the flows", "find
  inconsistencies", "check how this looks to a client" — and proactively after integrating any
  large UI slice, before a milestone, or when a manual walk found one bug and siblings are
  likely. Trigger even when the user names only one angle (e.g. "check the API errors") — pick
  the matching lens subset. NOT for unit testing (your test suite does that) and NOT a
  replacement for the integrator's own acceptance walk.

# QA Sweep — multi-lens agent QA of the live product

Read `projects/<name>/qa/README.md` FIRST (the protocol SSOT: environment rules · the five lens briefs ·
findings format · triage) — the lens briefs in agent prompts come verbatim from there, and the
account/mutation policy it sets is a hard rail, not advice. A project that predates this layout
may keep its protocol elsewhere — wherever its `CLAUDE.md` points, or at `docs/qa/README.md`,
`context/qa/PROTOCOL.md`, `.claude/rules/qa-sweep.md`, or in a project-local `qa-sweep` skill.
Look there before scaffolding: an existing protocol is the SSOT
wherever it lives, its run records go next to it, and a second protocol must never be created
beside it. Only when no protocol exists anywhere,
create one from the layer's protocol template (`${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/reference/qa-PROTOCOL-TEMPLATE.md` in
the kit repo — copy it from there if this project only adopted the layer's `.claude/` files)
and fill the placeholders before sweeping.

## Steps
1. **Preflight (integrator, by hand):** bring up the stack the protocol names (app · API ·
   store) · pick the account per the protocol's policy (the demo/real account = OBSERVE-ONLY
   always; the seeded sacrificial account = mutation QA only when the run brief grants it) ·
   make sure nothing else is writing to the shared store during the sweep (no integration test
   suites, no live jobs).
2. **Pick lenses** for this run (default: user-flow + contract in parallel, then edge-state,
   then honesty + ux-critique). Browser lenses run CONCURRENTLY via the isolated Playwright MCP
   servers the protocol lists (one server per concurrent browser agent — mechanism + logged-in
   seed recipe in the protocol § Parallel lenses). Browser lenses: user-flow · edge-state ·
   ux-critique. Non-browser: contract (curl) · honesty (curl + read-only store queries).
3. **Spawn `qa` agents** with the lens brief from the protocol § Lens briefs + the run scope.
   The run scope MUST name: the governing spec (`projects/<name>/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>.md`),
   the `AC-n` ids under test from that spec's Acceptance table, the project's workflow tier
   (from `projects/<name>/README.md`, or the task's `Tier:` override in `BACKLOG.md`), and which
