Whole-app QA loop run by an orchestrator — map every feature, plan small test units, fan out one tester agent per unit, return findings as a list, then after the user's go-ahead fan out fixers (worktrees) and fresh verifiers (sandboxes), and loop cycle after cycle until every fix-now item is verified. Owns the agent structure (orchestrator → testers / fixers / verifiers), which model each role runs on, the machine-load budget, and the durable tracker. Triggers on "test the whole app…
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 cycle A long-running, multi-cycle loop: **test the whole app → report a list → user confirms → fix → verify → test again**, until nothing fix-now is left. You are the **orchestrator**: you plan, dispatch, merge, keep the record and talk to the user. Agents execute. Quality comes from small units and fresh eyes, not from one agent doing everything at once. | Want | Use | |---|---| | Check one feature you just built | `/regression` | | Tester pass over a diff | `/manual-qa` | | **Test the whole app, then fix and re-verify in cycles** | **this skill** | Testers reuse `/regression` and `/manual-qa` method (their `references/<platform>.md` is the platform bar) — don't re-derive it. ## References — read when you reach the phase | File | Holds | |---|---| | [references/orchestration.md](references/orchestration.md) | Roles, **model per role**, **load budget**, agent lifecycle (resume, nudge, restart recovery), ports, permissions | | [references/test-phase.md](references/test-phase.md) | Feature map (`qa-mapper`), unit plan, tester brief (`qa-tester`), finding format, triage into the list | …

How to install
mdr add drunkendealer/claude-code-qa-cycle/qa-cycle@sha256:b3533e137bbe441fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261030.670ae8e, 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.
