Orchestrates pre-sprint Shift-Left QA on a batch of backlog Stories. Use when the user wants to refine acceptance criteria, surface ambiguities + gaps, draft an ATP outline, and hand off to PO/Dev BEFORE the Story enters a sprint — so defects are prevented in the requirements, not detected after implementation. Triggers on: shift-left testing, shift-left these stories, groom the backlog, pre-sprint QA, refine these N stories, pre-sprint refinement batch, prepare backlog for sprint planning…
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
## Inputs Read in order; stop earlier when the batch is small enough that later inputs add no signal. 1. The business context skills `business-e2e-context` + `business-data-context` + `business-api-context`, read through `bun run context:map <slug>` — journeys and feature catalog, entity model, CRUD matrix, auth model + endpoint groups. Anchors refined ACs in real entities, flows, and API behavior. (All three are hard-required by the Readiness Preflight Gate + Phase 0.3.) 2. `.context/PBI/qa-artifacts/master-test-plan.md` — regression Epic + in-scope modules. Tells the refinement whether the Story falls inside an already-prioritized area. 3. The Story's Acceptance Criteria + `**Source spec:**` reference on Jira. Detailed read via `bun run jira:sync-issues get <STORY_KEY> --include-comments`, then read the synced `acceptance-criteria.md` (+ description). NEVER `acli view` for custom fields. Canonical input — every refined AC must trace back here. 4. `.context/PBI/epics/EPIC-<KEY>-<slug>/stories/STORY-<KEY>-<slug>/` if a PBI folder already exists for this Story (created by a prior `/sprint-testing` cycle). Carries earlier session notes worth honoring. …

How to install
mdr add upex-galaxy/agentic-qa-boilerplate/shift-left-testing@sha256:327cc069691176e7The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261106.21afc18, 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.
