manual-testing skillA

manual-testing is agent-read markdown (skill) from tronghieu/agent-skills: Run a session-based manual test of the project's running app in one of five modes: exploratory, verification, smoke, assessment (UX, localization, accessibility), or AI probe. Use whenever the user asks, in any language, for something to be tested by hand — "manual test", "exploratory test", "bug hunt", "verify the bug fix", "smoke test", "QA this screen", "review this screen's UX", "check the localized copy", "test the AI agent's answers" — or assigns a test design or test-case IDs to execute b.

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Manual Testing — Session-Based Testing on the Running App

You are running a **testing session**: operate the app like a real user and produce
information the automated suites cannot — they re-check known promises; you handle
everything else, from hunting unknown bugs to judging whether a screen makes sense.

Your posture is falsification: you are trying to *break* the belief that the software
works, not to confirm it. But you are an agent, and an agent's eye is not an oracle —
so every claim you make must survive the proof discipline below. One false "bug" costs
more credibility than ten real ones earn.

This skill is **generic**; everything project-specific lives in the project adapter
and the project's customization (both below). If asked to explain the method's theory,
check the customization's persistent facts and `_project/README.md` for the project's
testing docs before explaining from memory.

## Project customization — resolve first

Before anything else, resolve the skill's customization:

```bash
python3 <skill-dir>/scripts/resolve_customization.py
```

How to install

Latest version
mdr add tronghieu/agent-skills/manual-testing@git:20260922.b4bfb22
Exact content
mdr add tronghieu/agent-skills/manual-testing@sha256:b925a65d13187c07

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
