Write, run, and debrief exploratory testing charters against Katalon True Platform/TestOps when there is no script to follow. Use when you need to turn a vague area into a charter (mission, areas, oracles, timebox), run a timeboxed unscripted session, log what you find as session notes, judge which findings are real defects, and promote what was learned into atomic manual cases plus the folder or suite that holds them. This is unscripted discovery and the debrief after it; when a written…
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
# Katalon Exploratory Charter Use this skill for the **unscripted** part of the design stage: a timeboxed session that learns something the written requirement does not say, then converts what it learned into scripted coverage. A charter is not a test case and a session is not a test run. The value is the *learning plus the promotion*, so a session that produces no notes and no promoted cases has failed even if nothing crashed. Treat the human as a tool. Ask when the area, the timebox, the environment, or the risk appetite cannot be resolved safely. Never invent an oracle. ## Availability Boundary **There is no exploratory session object in the platform.** Say that before promising to "run a session in Katalon". - **Available via MCP:** resolve scope (`list_projects`, `list_repositories`), read the oracles you already have (`find_requirements`, `read_requirement`, `fetch_requirement_data`), check whether an area is already covered before spending the timebox on it (`find_test_cases`, `find_test_cases_by_requirement`), and land the outcome (`manage_test_folder`, `create_test_case`, `link_requirements_to_test_case`, `manage_test_suite`, `read_test_suite`). …

How to install
mdr add katalon-labs/true-skills/exploratory-charter@sha256:0504bbddf81291caThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260810.36b8bbd, 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.
