qa-personas SKILL.md skillA

qa-personas from cromford-ai/cromford is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Write or refresh a project's QA personas — draft the answers from the code (role guards, route tree, nav per role) or ask the people who know the product, turn them into qa/personas.json, qa/apps.json and the verification-map entry with bin/qa-personas.sh, and open the PR the orchestrator reads before it merges. Use when a repo has no personas yet, when a new role or flow appears, or when a persona's flows have gone stale.

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 personas

A QA persona is "sign in as this kind of user, then click through these flows".
The QA lanes read them from two files in the project repo — `qa/personas.json`
and `qa/apps.json` — and `bin/lib/qa-personas.sh` is the one reader of both.
This skill is how those files get written.

**An agent may draft the answers from the code** (the operator, 2026-10-07). Read the
role guards, the route tree and the nav each role sees, and write the answers
file from that. A person may still answer it instead. Either way the PR opens,
and the orchestrator (merge grant) reads the rendered map instead of a human
filling in a questionnaire.

Every flow in these files is something an automated lane will later click
through against a real environment, so a wrong route or a write flow marked
safe is a real action with real consequences. That is why the safety floor is
mechanical, not a reader:

- Anything that creates, pays, sends or deletes is `production_safe: false`
  with a `cleanup`. The validator refuses a write flow with no cleanup, and
  production never runs one.
- Every persona's `out_of_bounds` is a non-empty list. The validator refuses a

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add cromford-ai/cromford/qa-personas@sha256:05c2b7647d22f41d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261013.1268b26, 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.
