Two new reference files extending qa-methodology into the reactive side of its domain — diagnosing failures rather than designing strategy. ci-failure-triage.md: systematic CI failure diagnosis — runner availability checks, log triage (gh run view), exit 137 / container termination evidence-first procedure, pre-existing vs regression classification, flaky test management, and compose readiness corollary. Distilled from accumulated CI-failure incident notes. test-debugging.md: diagnosing broken tests — mock path binding after module-to-package refactors, FastAPI startup race (mock state set before TestClient context is overwritten), httpx mock transport pattern, test execution integrity (collection count vs exit code), deterministic integration seeds, API signature change fixture recovery, and uv lockfile hygiene. Distilled from accumulated test-debugging incident notes. Both are technique libraries serving qa-methodology's existing domain, not new standalone skills. SKILL.md reference table updated.

Qa Methodology
Quality assurance methodology — test strategy design, test automation patterns, regression testing, CI quality gates, test data management, and quality metrics. Grounded in practical patterns for teams that want confident shipping.
Why Install This Skill
Your agent designs test strategies, manages test data, runs performance tests, and integrates security testing — the full QA lifecycle, not just 'write more tests'.
What You Get
