## What it does

The skill takes a PRD or requirements you describe in chat and sorts them into test cases: functional, boundary, error handling and state transitions. Every case carries preconditions, numbered steps, expected results, a postcondition, a priority and a pointer back to the requirement it covers. IDs use the prefixes `TC-F`, `TC-E`, `TC-ERR` and `TC-ST`, so the category is readable from the name alone.

It runs in passes. First it reads your PRD through the Read tool, or asks about core flows and acceptance criteria through AskUserQuestion. Then it extracts scenarios, structures them, checks that each requirement has at least one case, and builds a coverage matrix linking requirement IDs to test case IDs. The file is written with Write to `tests/<name>-test-cases.md`.

One thing worth knowing up front: the wrap-up summary it prints after generating is in Chinese. If the report goes to a team that doesn't read it, plan on asking the agent to redo that part.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add stellarlinkco/myclaude --skill test-cases -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add stellarlinkco/myclaude --skill test-cases -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add stellarlinkco/myclaude --skill test-cases -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install stellarlinkco/myclaude test-cases
```

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

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add stellarlinkco/myclaude --skill test-cases -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/stellarlinkco/myclaude --path skills/test-cases
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add stellarlinkco/myclaude --skill test-cases -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/stellarlinkco/myclaude/tree/HEAD/skills/test-cases/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- turn a PRD into test cases with steps and verifiable results
- cover boundary values and empty inputs before release
- check that every requirement has at least one test
- map state transitions for a login and session flow
- build a coverage matrix from requirements to test cases

## Example prompts
- Generate test cases for the user authentication feature in `docs/auth-prd.md`
- Read `docs/checkout-prd.md` and write test cases for payment failures and order status changes
- Plan QA for password reset, including boundary cases and a coverage check

# Test Cases Generator

This skill generates comprehensive, requirement-driven test cases from PRD documents or user requirements.

## Purpose

Transform product requirements into structured test cases that ensure complete coverage of functionality, edge cases, error scenarios, and state transitions. The skill follows a pragmatic testing philosophy: test what matters, ensure every requirement has corresponding test coverage, and maintain test quality over quantity.

## When to Use

Trigger this skill when:
- User provides a PRD or requirements document and requests test cases
- User asks to "generate test cases", "create test scenarios", or "plan QA"
- User mentions testing coverage for a feature or requirement
- User needs structured test documentation in markdown format

## Core Testing Principles

Follow these principles when generating test cases:

1. **Requirement-driven, not implementation-driven** - Test cases must map directly to requirements, not implementation details
2. **Complete coverage** - Every requirement must have at least one test case covering:
   - Happy path (normal use cases)
   - Edge cases (boundary values, empty inputs, max limits)
   - Error handling (invalid inputs, failure scenarios, permission errors)
   - State transitions (if stateful, cover all valid state changes)
3. **Clear and actionable** - Each test case must be executable by a QA engineer without ambiguity
4. **Traceable** - Maintain clear mapping between requirements and test cases

## Workflow

### Step 1: Gather Requirements

First, identify the source of requirements:

1. If user provides a file path to a PRD, read it using the Read tool
2. If user describes requirements verbally, capture them
3. If requirements are unclear or incomplete, use AskUserQuestion to clarify:
   - What are the core user flows?
   - What are the acceptance criteria?
   - What are the edge cases or error scenarios to consider?
   - Are there any state transitions or workflows?
   - What platforms or environments need testing?

### Step 2: Extract Test Scenarios

Analyze requirements and extract test scenarios:

1. **Functional scenarios** - Normal use cases from requirements
2. **Edge case scenarios** - Boundary conditions, empty states, maximum limits
3. **Error scenarios** - Invalid inputs, permission failures, network errors
```
