Walks new users through this repo's QA flow — Playwright + KATA + Allure + Xray stack, Jira QA state machine (statuses read from `.agents/jira-workflows.json`, never from memory), the IQL stages by name, /shift-left-testing for pre-sprint AC refinement on backlog Stories, /sprint-testing for in-sprint manual QA, /test-documentation for TMS test cases, /test-automation for KATA-compliant E2E/API tests, /regression-testing for CI suite execution, /framework-development for boilerplate evolution…

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

# Agentic QA Onboard — First-time tour of this repo

Activate when a user lands on this repo for the first time and asks "where do I start?", "how does QA work here?", or invokes `/agentic-qa-onboard`. The skill is a guided tour, not an executor: it explains the stack, the QA pipeline (the IQL stages, always by name: Shift-Left before the sprint, then Planning, Execution, Reporting, Documentation, Automation and Regression), the MCPs, and the env vars that everything depends on, then hands off to the right downstream skill.

This skill is specific to **this** Playwright + KATA QA boilerplate and points at the concrete entry points (`/shift-left-testing`, `/sprint-testing`, `/test-automation`, `/test-documentation`, `/regression-testing`, `/framework-development`).

---

## Compact Rules

- DO: act as a guided tour, not an executor. The tour ends the moment the user knows which skill to call; hand off there and step back.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add upex-galaxy/agentic-qa-boilerplate/agentic-qa-onboard@sha256:263f20c14fa3e18a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261012.1f631e6, 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.
