project-discovery SKILL.md skillB

project-discovery from upex-galaxy/agentic-qa-boilerplate is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add upex-galaxy/agentic-qa-boilerplate/project-discovery@git:20261011.fa9e794

Pins git:20261011.fa9e794 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Onboard a project through four discovery phases: Constitution, Architecture, Infrastructure, and Specification. Produces the domain map (business model + glossary) inside `business-domain-context` and the infra map (architecture, NFRs, backend, frontend, environments, CI/CD) inside `infra-context`, plus `.context/project-config.md` and a backlog connection check, then hands the business maps and the master test plan to `project-context`. Use for set up this project, onboard this repo, connect…

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

# Project Discovery — Onboarding Orchestrator

Turn an unknown codebase into a testable project. Four phases, always in order, gated on completion of the previous one. The output is the domain map and the infra map inside their context skills, plus `.context/project-config.md`: the knowledge the rest of the skills (`shift-left-testing`, `sprint-testing`, `test-automation`, `test-documentation`, `regression-testing`) rely on.

The discovery is **conversational**: you read the code, ask when ambiguous, confirm before writing files. Never fabricate -- if you cannot verify a claim from the source, mark it as a "Discovery Gap" and move on.

Grounding methodology: **IQL (Integrated Quality Lifecycle)** — QA is continuous from requirement to release, not a gate at the end. The stage contract every QA skill enforces lives in `agentic-qa-core/references/stage-gates.md`; the methodology narrative is the official IQL site: https://upexgalaxy.com/metodologia (ES) / https://upexgalaxy.com/en/methodology (EN). This skill does not depend on reading it — only point the user there if they ask why the discovery is structured this way.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add upex-galaxy/agentic-qa-boilerplate/project-discovery@sha256:4e2c1b03f83bfc06

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261011.fa9e794, 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.
