Use this skill for the post-PASS exploratory QA pass — Shape Up's "QA is for the edges", made explicit for the harness. Triggers on: "hunt edge cases", "QA pass on this feature", "exploratory test the running app", "edge hunt before ship", "run qa-edge-hunter", "the evaluator passed — what did it miss?". the loop invokes it after the run's first PASS at the Verdict gate, before ship; it also runs standalone given a spec folder, a PASS EVAL report, and a running app, or on a loop --order…

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 Edge Hunter — the post-PASS edge pass (v1.1)

Shape Up, Ch. 13: QA comes in **toward the end**, hunts **edge cases outside the core**,
and its issues are **nice-to-haves by default** that the team triages. This skill is that
role for the harness. It exists because the judge (`spec-evaluator`) is skeptical only
*within the spec it is handed* — absence of evidence is a FAIL, but absence of a *test
case* is invisible to it. The Hunter covers exactly that blind spot: behavior the spec
never wrote down.

```
the loop: ... GATE L2 → EVAL → GATE L3 PASS ──► QA EDGE HUNT (you) ──► SHIP S.0 triage → L4
                                                  charters · hunts · ~ findings → ledger
            GATE L3 FAIL → fix round (never reaches you — conformance first, edges after)
```

**Division of labor (a settled design decision, not a convention):**

| Tier | Owner | When |
|---|---|---|
| Derivable tests (boundaries, error codes, no-go breaches the spec implies) | the plan step's `## Test Surface` + evaluator `test-surface-conformance` | spec time / every EVAL |
| **Exploratory edges (this skill)** | `/qa-edge-hunter` | once, post-first-PASS |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add nguyenvanphituoc/shapeup-sdlc-plugin/qa-edge-hunter@sha256:55d08095191177f6

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261108.7150974, 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.
