Produce QA acceptance criteria and a manual validation plan for a feature change — golden path, edge cases, error states, performance limits, and explicit pass/fail evidence.
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 Acceptance Write acceptance criteria that a reviewer can run against the running app and decide pass or fail without asking the author. The criteria are the contract — automated tests cover correctness, QA covers feature-level behavior. ## When to use - A feature change is heading to QA and needs a written validation plan. - A reviewer is asked to verify a PR that touches user-visible behavior. - An incident postmortem requires a regression check before reopen-prevention. - A release candidate needs a pre-cut smoke pass. ## When not to use - The change is unit-test-only (utility refactor, internal naming). Acceptance criteria are unnecessary churn. - You are asked to write tests against API contracts. Use contract testing, not feature QA. ## Acceptance criteria format Each criterion is a single, independently-verifiable statement: ```md - **Given** <starting state>, **when** <action>, **then** <observable outcome>. ``` Example: ```md - **Given** a CSV export with 0 rows, **when** the user clicks Export, **then** the file downloads with only the header row and the UI shows "Exported 0 rows". ``` Avoid criteria that combine multiple `when`s or `then`s. Split them. …

How to install
mdr add paperclipai/paperclip/qa-acceptance@sha256:c631b437ab26d104The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260528.9eac727, 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.
