README

sdet-skills

A set of reusable AI agent skills built for QA engineers, SDETs, and test automation folks. They teach AI coding agents (Claude, Cursor, and other agent-compatible tools) how to handle everyday QA work the way an experienced tester would — not just generic code output.

Who This Is For

If you're using AI agents as part of your QA or automation work, you've probably noticed you end up re-explaining the same conventions every time — how your team writes tests, reports bugs, or reviews code. Install a skill once, and your agent just knows.

Useful if you're:

A QA engineer who wants consistent, well-structured output from your agent
An SDET building or maintaining a test automation framework
A lead trying to standardize how automation, reviews, and bug reports get done across a team

What's Included

Right now, this covers four areas of QA work:

Automation test creation — helps an agent write structured, maintainable tests instead of one-off scripts
Test review — flags common issues in existing tests: weak assertions, poor structure, missing edge cases
Bug/defect reporting — writes clear, actionable Jira bug reports with steps to reproduce, expected vs. actual behavior, and severity
Requirements analysis — breaks requirements or user stories into testable conditions and surfaces ambiguities before test creation starts

More skills will get added as this grows.

Grounded in Real Testing Standards

These aren't just personal opinions written down. They're built on widely recognized testing principles, including guidance from **ISTQB (International Software Testing Qualifications Board)** material — so the output your agent produces actually aligns with how testing is taught and practiced, not just whatever pattern seemed convenient.

If you're ISTQB-certified or working toward it, the terminology here should feel familiar.
