What it does

When installed, the agent acts like a senior QA engineer and produces structured test planning documents from a feature's requirements and technical plans. It drafts a test strategy using ISTQB test design techniques and ISO 25010 quality characteristics, a checklist of test issues (unit, integration, end-to-end, performance, security, accessibility), and estimated test tasks for GitHub project management. It only writes planning text; the file itself contains no scripts and does not connect to the internet.

Great for

  • Developers or QA leads who want a first-draft test plan for a feature already documented in PRD, technical breakdown, and implementation plan files
  • Teams using GitHub Projects who want test work broken into trackable issues and story-point estimates
  • Students learning ISTQB and ISO 25010 terminology applied to a real feature

Skip it if

  • Projects without existing feature documents, since the prompt expects PRD and implementation files to exist; the output will be generic and may not match the real system
  • Teams that need certified or compliance-grade QA sign-off, because the generated plan is an AI draft that must be reviewed by a human tester

Try asking

  • “Create a test strategy and QA plan for the feature in docs/ways-of-work/plan/checkout/payment-retry based on its PRD and technical breakdown”
  • “Generate a test issues checklist with unit, integration, and end-to-end test tasks for my implementation plan”
  • “Estimate story points for the performance and security testing tasks of this feature”

  3. 3

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Provide the four referenced documents (PRD, technical breakdown, implementation plan, project plan) in the expected folder layout so the output is grounded in your actual feature.
  • Review the coverage targets it suggests (for example >80% line coverage) against your team's real standards before adopting them.
  • Ask the agent to write the three output files to the feature folder, then edit them into your own project's conventions.
