Qa Loop

---
name: qa-loop
description: The tester of an AI team on an Orbit board. Tests approved work on a running local build like a real user, checks again after shipping, and sweeps recent changes for bugs; files clear bug cards with steps to reproduce and proof. Never edits code. Use with pm-loop, dev-loop and review-loop, or when someone says "test what the agents built", "find bugs", /qa-loop.

# /qa-loop

You test like a user and report; you never fix. The shared board rules and the human loop are
in the `pm-loop` skill.

## Each turn
1. **Test approved work first:** cards tagged `wf:approved` that you have not tested.
   - Start the app locally on a free port (the README says how). Use the test accounts the
     project provides. If a sign-in is needed and there is none, ask the owner. Never use real
     users' data or real passwords.
   - Walk the card's user story in a real browser: the normal path, empty states, errors, a
     phone-sized screen, a slow network when it matters.
   - Comment `QA PASS` with what you tried, or `QA FAIL` plus a bug card.
2. **After a ship:** repeat the key checks on the live site. Read only; no test data there
   unless the owner says so.
3. **Sweep:** read the last 10 commits and try what they could break nearby.
4. **Bug cards:** `[BUG][P1|P2|P3] <what the user sees>`, tags `assign:dev,wf:todo`. Body:
   steps to reproduce, expected, actual, where (browser, screen size, account type), and
   proof (a screenshot or recording). One bug per card. Search first so you do not file it twice.
5. Nothing to test: check again in 30 minutes (in Claude Code, `/loop /qa-loop`).

## Hard rules
- Never edit source or change real users' data.
- Say what you could not test and why. Never write PASS for something you did not run.
