What it does

QA Critical UX is an agent skill from fastrepl/anarlog. QA Anarlog's critical Pro user journey on a signed staging candidate — onboarding, responsive launch, microphone and system-audio capture, automated summaries, and cloud sync.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/reset-native-qa-permissions.sh`).

It sits in Product & Project Management, covering Customer journey mapping. The repository describes itself as: Open source Granola AI Alternative. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Customer journey mapping

Example prompts

  • “/qa-critical-ux”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell

Workflow steps

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

  1. Launch and stay responsive
  2. Complete onboarding as a Pro user
  3. Create a note and record
  4. Stop and get a summary
  5. Sync the note and restore it

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 385e117. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • gh

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh, 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.

Context cost

QA Critical UX loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 710 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~48
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

QA: Critical User Experience

Run this workflow only when the user explicitly asks for QA. A release request alone does not invoke it, and QA results do not approve or block a release.

Test only the signed staging artifact for the requested candidate:

  1. The app launches and never hangs.
  2. Onboarding completes from scratch: permissions, sign-in, and provider setup.
  3. A recording captures both microphone and system audio.
  4. Stopping the recording produces an automated summary.
  5. The note syncs to the account and comes back after a local wipe.

Everything else is outside this skill's scope.

Out of Scope

Record incidental failures against the existing Linear ticket without expanding this run:

  • AEC quality: ANLG-98
  • Automatic speaker identification: ANLG-222
  • Real-world capture across devices, rooms, and participants: ANLG-284
  • Auth callback and sign-out edge cases: ANLG-285
  • Calendar, events, and notifications: ANLG-286
  • CloudSync activity deferral and transcript integrity: ANLG-287
  • On-device STT/LLM provider matrix: ANLG-288

Build the Staging Candidate

Trigger desktop_cd.yaml with channel=staging from the requested candidate SHA. Verify the run's head SHA, download that run's artifact by ID, and never use a latest-staging download:

bash
gh workflow run desktop_cd.yaml \
  --ref <candidate-ref> \
  -f channel=staging \
  -f candidate_sha=<40-character-candidate-sha>
gh run view <run-id> --json headSha,url
gh run download <run-id> --name hyprnote-staging-macos-silicon

Record the run URL and DMG SHA-256, install the artifact, and verify the app reports the expected version. The staging artifact must be signed output from that exact workflow run; do not substitute a local build.

Leave the MacBook open on its built-in speakers and microphone with no external audio device attached.

Start from Onboarding

  1. Fully quit Anarlog Staging.

  2. Reset staging permissions while the app is closed:

    bash
    .agents/skills/qa-critical-ux/scripts/reset-native-qa-permissions.sh
  3. Back up any needed staging data, then remove the staging application data:

    bash
    rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/com.hyprnote.staging
  4. Launch through LaunchServices without an onboarding override:

    bash
    open -a "Anarlog Staging" --env ONBOARDING=

Missing app data starts onboarding normally. Do not use ONBOARDING=1; resetting permissions asynchronously after initialization can suppress the microphone prompt. Do not edit permission databases.

Complete onboarding for real: grant each permission, sign in with the Pro or trialing test account, select Anarlog cloud (anarlog) in Settings → AI, and turn on encrypted cloud sync in Settings → Sync. Use that account's existing recovery key when prompted. Creating a new key on an account that already has sync fails this item.

Checklist

1. Launch and stay responsive
  • The app opens to a usable window without a hang, freeze, beachball, or startup error.
  • Quit and relaunch once; startup completes and the UI remains responsive.
  • Logs contain no panic, deadlock, or repeated-error loop.
2. Complete onboarding as a Pro user
  • Each permission prompt appears and the grant persists.
  • Sign-in completes and the app reaches the entitled state without feature-gate prompts.
  • Settings → Sync turns on with the account's existing recovery key.
  • A stalled, dead, or looping onboarding step fails this item.
Show full SKILL.md (284 more words)Show less
3. Create a note and record
  • Create a note, type content, and verify it persists.

  • Start recording, then play the bundled fixture from the terminal:

    bash
    /usr/bin/afplay -v 0.7 -t 180 "$PWD/crates/data/src/english_10/audio.mp3"
  • The timer runs, microphone and system-audio inputs have nonzero signal, live transcript words appear, and mute/unmute does not wedge the session.

  • Logs contain no audio_sync_probe_panicked, dropped-sample, or queue-overflow events.

  • Echo leakage, duplicate phrases, and generic speaker labels are informational under the out-of-scope tickets.

4. Stop and get a summary
  • Stopping does not hang while settling.
  • An enhanced summary and title are generated automatically, reflect the fixture content, and remain attached with the transcript.
  • Restart the app and verify the note, transcript, and summary persist.
5. Sync the note and restore it
  • After the summary exists, open Settings → Sync. Status must reach Synced, not stay on Connecting, Syncing, Saved locally, or Sync needs attention.

  • Record the note title shown in the app. Quit Anarlog Staging. Do not reset permissions again. Wipe staging data once more:

    bash
    rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/com.hyprnote.staging
  • Launch through LaunchServices, sign in with the same Pro or trialing account, and enter the same recovery key.

  • The same note, transcript, and summary reappear after restore. A missing note, empty transcript, or missing summary fails this item.

  • Mid-recording deferral, chat/enhance leases, and hash-stable transcript integrity stay informational under ANLG-287.

Verify results programmatically where possible through the app's supported interfaces and logs. Do not query the app database directly.

Reporting

Report:

  • candidate SHA and staging workflow URL
  • app version and DMG SHA-256
  • PASS or FAIL for each checklist item, with one line of evidence
  • out-of-scope observations separately

A failure or SHA mismatch fails the QA run but does not automatically block a release.
