What it does

QA Review is an agent skill from digipulse-engineering/GAAI-framework. Validate that implemented code fully satisfies Story acceptance criteria, respects rules, and introduces no regressions. This is the hard quality gate — no pass means no delivery. Activate after implementation is complete.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `evals.yaml`). Compatibility notes: Works with any filesystem-based AI coding agent

It sits in Testing & QA, covering Quality gates and User stories. The repository describes itself as: Turns AI coding tools into reliable software delivery systems. Drop a .gaai/ folder into any project — Discovery defines what to build, Delivery executes autonomously until…

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Quality gates
  • Tasks that involve User stories

Example prompts

  • “/qa-review”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Works with any filesystem-based AI coding agent

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Story Compliance Check
  2. Scope Integrity Check
  3. Rule Enforcement
  4. Regression Scan
  5. Build / Type / Lint Integrity
  6. Quality Checks
  7. Currentness & Evidence Review (DEC-200)
  8. Memory Alignment (PASS only)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a26ea7a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • tsc
    • pnpm
    • wrangler
    • cargo
    • go

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pnpm and wrangler, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

  • Compatibility

    Works with any filesystem-based AI coding agent

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

QA Review loads about 3.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,652 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~58
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,652 words (~3,420 tokens).

“Activate after implementation is complete. This is a hard quality gate.”
