qa from chrislacey89/skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add chrislacey89/skills/qa@git:20261020.c0e4e4c

Pins git:20261020.c0e4e4c in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Side-route skill and single entry point for bug conversations. Use when the user is reporting observed failures and wants durable GitHub issues filed in project language. Delegates per-issue to /triage-issue for bugs that need root-cause diagnosis, then returns to the loop. Not for already-scoped implementation work (use /execute).

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# QA Session

Run an interactive QA session. The user describes problems they're encountering. You clarify, explore the codebase for context, and file GitHub issues that are durable, user-focused, and use the project's domain language. For any one bug that needs deeper diagnosis before it can be filed lightweight, you delegate to `/triage-issue` for that issue and then return to the loop for the next observation.

## Invocation Position

This is a side-route skill, not a default shaping or implementation step. It is the **single entry point for bug conversations** — `/triage-issue` is no longer a direct entry point and is instead invoked from here on a per-issue basis when depth is needed.

Use `/qa` when the user is testing behavior, reporting bugs conversationally, or wants help turning observed failures into durable GitHub issues.

Do not use it when the task is already a concrete, well-scoped implementation task ready for `/execute`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add chrislacey89/skills/qa@sha256:e24ca3a1b718ec8d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.c0e4e4c, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
