The gate between a finished feature and the human QA. Investigates the delivered feature against its spec and the running screen, executes what is automatable, dispatches the existing correctors for defects that are objectively wrong, leaves a permanent guard so each defect cannot return unnoticed, and writes a QA plan (md + csv) plus a findings report carrying only what needs human judgement. Invoked by a HUMAN when the feature is done — never by spec-writer, implement-feature or evaluator.
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 Preflight A gate, not a plan generator. A plan generator moves work onto the human; this **removes** work from the human and uses what remains as the definition of what actually needs a person. > References, loaded on demand: `references/qa-practices.md` (how cases are derived) and > `references/report-template.md` (the exact output skeletons). Both travel with this skill, > so both resolve wherever it is installed. > > The rationale — why each rule exists and what this skill deliberately does NOT do — is in > `docs/Skill_QA_Preflight.md` of the **sdd-skills** repository, which is where the skill is > maintained. **That file is not part of an installed copy**, and the relative path this note > used to give (`../../docs/`) resolved to nothing outside the source repository. Everything > needed to RUN the skill is in the folder you are reading; go to the rationale only to change > a rule, and change it there. **Standalone by decision.** No other skill invokes this one. It runs when the feature is **done**, on explicit human request. Running it mid-implementation produces noise about code that is still moving. …

How to install
mdr add dayvisonassis/sdd-skills/qa-preflight@sha256:e940acb42f97d3afThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261013.ace2f8a, 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.
