AC quality-postmortem
Analyze escaped defects and test suite health through blameless postmortems. Covers bug pattern analysis, test suite health reviews, 5 Whys root cause analysis, process improvement cycles, and postmortem/retro meeting templates with action item tracking. Use when: "QA retro," "escaped bugs," "postmortem," "quality incident," "defect analysis," "improvement cycle." Not for: live release go/no-go decisions — use release-readiness. Not for ongoing metric dashboards — use qa-metrics. Not for reviewing existing test code quality — use ai-qa-review. Related: qa-metrics, test-reliability, test-strategy.
Analyze escaped defects and test suite health through blameless postmortems.
As a process C 63/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, inputs and preconditions, failures and branches
How to improve
- The SKILL.md body is over 5,000 tokens: move reference detail into references/ and load it when needed.
- Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Against the Agent Skills spec
- warning
body-longSKILL.md body ≈ 5692 tokens (recommended < 5000); move details to references/ - note
edit-residuethe text marks something as outdated (lines 190): check that old rules are not kept next to new ones — the full check reads the text for contradictions
Process rating: all ten parameters 63/100
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 0Failures and branches. Linear process with no failure handling
- 40Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 50When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 70Execution cost. Instruction body is 5692 tokens
- 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
- 100Steps. 32 steps
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Running it twice. Mutating operations check current state
- 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
- low 12 top-level sections: this looks like several domains in one skill
Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
