Manual-QA pass over recent changes — files concrete bug reports (blocker/major/minor) for UI, navigation, and cross-feature regressions a tester would catch. Auto-detects the platform (Android, iOS, web) from the changed files and audits against that platform's bar; off-platform changes are judged against existing behavior. Builds and tests the branch first, then optionally drives a device or browser to confirm visual bugs. Read-only; output is a fix list, not a test plan. Triggers on…

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

# Manual QA

Simulate a manual tester reviewing a diff and **file the bugs they would file**. Catch UI edge cases, navigation mistakes, and cross-feature regressions that `/code-review` and unit tests miss. **Read-only** — produces a bug list with severities and fixes. Does not modify code.

This is the standalone version of `/regression`'s phase 2. It shares that skill's platform checklists rather than keeping its own — run `/regression` when you want the code pass too.

Output is a fix list, not a test plan. The user wants to know *what's broken* and *where to fix it*, in the form of a triage-ready bug report. This skill answers: *"if I shipped this right now, what would QA send back?"*

Not a replacement for `/code-review` (correctness/security/perf) or instrumented tests.

## Input

`$ARGUMENTS` may carry a platform token (`android` · `ios` · `web` · `general`), a scope token, or
both, in any order. Anything given explicitly wins — skip detection for it.

Scope (mirrors `/code-review`):

- empty or `staged` → `git diff --cached`
- `last` → `git diff HEAD~1`
- `branch` → `git diff main...HEAD`
- a file path → that file

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add drunkendealer/claude-code-qa-cycle/manual-qa@sha256:a53ac5775a7f399b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261026.35c77af, 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.
