Foundation skill that hosts shared references cited by other workflow skills (briefing template, dispatch patterns, orchestration doctrine, skill composition strategy). Loaded on demand by any skill that declares `agentic-qa-core` in its Dependencies block. Do NOT use for: adapting KATA tests (use `/test-framework-adaptation`), or onboarding the target project (use `/project-discovery`).

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 Core — Foundation reference host

`agentic-qa-core` is the shared reference library that every workflow skill in this repo cites. It exists so doctrine (briefing template, dispatch patterns, orchestration rules, skill composition tiers) lives in one place instead of being duplicated across every `SKILL.md`.

Loading a workflow skill (e.g. `shift-left-testing`, `sprint-testing`, `test-automation`) implies loading the relevant `agentic-qa-core/references/*.md` on demand — workflow skills declare a `## Dependencies` block at the top so the AI knows what to pull in.

This skill does NOT orchestrate workflows, does NOT generate files, and does NOT bootstrap a target repo. The entire framework (skills, foundation files, scripts) ships together as one repo; à la carte adoption is not supported — see "Install model" below.

## Compact Rules

<!--
  This section is Strategy A for scripts/build-skill-registry.ts, and it is
  load-bearing for CORRECTNESS, not just for quality. Without it the builder
  fell through to Strategy B, which scrapes bare bullets and cannot see the
  `agentic-qa-core does not:` sentence that governs the "Out of scope" list —

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add upex-galaxy/agentic-qa-boilerplate/agentic-qa-core@sha256:182eb2504dbb1bb3

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261009.a33fcc5, 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.
