QA cycling workflow - test, verify, fix, repeat until goal met.

  • Works in 5 steps: RUN QA: Execute verification based on… → CHECK RESULT: Pass → exit success. Fail… → DIAGNOSE: @architect analyzes failure,… → …

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Ultraqa is an agent skill from zereight/gitlab-mcp. QA cycling workflow - test, verify, fix, repeat until goal met. Activate when user says: ultraqa, qa cycle, fix all tests, make tests pass.

Its SKILL.md is about 380 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: First gitlab mcp for you, building together. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Make tests pass

Example prompts

  • “/ultraqa”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. RUN QA: Execute verification based on goal type
  2. CHECK RESULT: Pass → exit success. Fail → continue
  3. DIAGNOSE: @architect analyzes failure, provides root cause
  4. FIX: @executor applies architect's recommendations
  5. REPEAT: Go back to step 1

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0109168. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Ultraqa loads about 379 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 37 tokens; SKILL.md has 136 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~37
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~379

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.

UltraQA

Autonomous QA cycling workflow that runs until your quality goal is met.

Cycle: run checks → diagnose failures → fix → repeat

Goal Types

FlagWhat to Check
--testsAll test suites pass
--buildBuild succeeds with exit 0
--lintNo lint errors
--typecheckNo TypeScript errors
--interactiveInteractive CLI/service testing via @qa-tester

Cycle Workflow (Max 5)

  1. RUN QA: Execute verification based on goal type
  2. CHECK RESULT: Pass → exit success. Fail → continue
  3. DIAGNOSE: @architect analyzes failure, provides root cause
  4. FIX: @executor applies architect's recommendations
  5. REPEAT: Go back to step 1

Exit Conditions

  • Goal Met: "ULTRAQA COMPLETE: Goal met after N cycles"
  • Cycle 5 Reached: Exit with diagnosis
  • Same Failure 3x: Exit early with root cause
  • Environment Error: Exit with error details

State Tracking

Track in .omc/ultraqa-state.json. Clean up state files on completion.

Output

[ULTRAQA Cycle 1/5] Running tests...
[ULTRAQA Cycle 1/5] FAILED - 3 tests failing
[ULTRAQA Cycle 1/5] Diagnosing...
[ULTRAQA Cycle 2/5] PASSED - All 47 tests pass
[ULTRAQA COMPLETE] Goal met after 2 cycles
