true-skills: Instructions file for Kiro

.kiro/steering/test-reporting.md

true-skills test-reporting.md is an instructions file for Kiro from katalon-labs/true-skills. It costs 5,683 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for reporting testing results across multiple releases or time periods. It explains where measures such as coverage, case quality, flaky tests, defects, and execution history come from.

In plain words
What is it for?
Comparing testing trends, reporting coverage and defects, describing stability, and giving managers specific quality information for planning.
Why use it?
It produces an evidence-based explanation with the scope and source behind each result rather than an unexplained list of numbers.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

true-skills test-reporting.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 341 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Katalon Test Reporting

Use this skill when someone outside QA asks a question about quality and the answer has to survive being asked where it came from. It reads the analyze stage and feeds the plan stage. The output is an answer with the named specifics behind it, never a metric dump. release-analyze judges one release; this skill reports the direction across several and writes what a manager says out loud.

Availability Boundary

State the boundary before promising a report, because most of what "reporting" normally means is not an MCP call.

  • Available via MCP. The metric surface: fetch_requirement_data (coverage status), fetch_test_case_data (case quality signals), fetch_test_stability_data (flakiness), fetch_test_configuration_data (configuration coverage), fetch_defect_data (defect status and context), find_test_results / read_execution / read_execution_test_results (execution history, and the only data that carries its own dates), find_iterations (the period spine), and list_projects / list_repositories / find_test_suites / read_test_suite / find_test_cases to establish what each number is counted over.
  • Not directly available, and no tool exists to add.
    • No trend or aggregation tool. Nothing in the MCP returns a series, an average, or a delta. Every trend here is assembled by looping periods yourself.
    • No point-in-time read. Every fetch_*_data tool returns current state. You cannot ask what requirement coverage was at release 3.0. Only execution records carry dates.
    • No dashboard, chart, or report entity. Dashboards are a TestOps UI surface. This skill writes text and a snapshot file, nothing else.
    • No publishing surface. The MCP cannot post to Slack, Confluence, email, or a deck. Hand the written brief back to the user and let them place it.
    • No Release or Build entity. Bind periods to iterations via find_iterations, or to explicit date ranges. Never to a release object.
    • No escaped-defect flag. fetch_defect_data returns status and context, not whether a defect reached production. Ask the user which ALM field classifies it. If there is none, report "defects opened after the release run" and label it as a proxy.
    • No effort, cost, headcount, or cycle-time data. That is the test-estimation gap. Say so and stop. Never estimate effort from test counts.
    • No custom fields or tags. Any team dimension (component, squad, product line) has to come from folder or suite structure, or from the user.
  • The workaround that makes trending real. A snapshot file written on every run, plus the execution-dated series that needs no snapshot. See references/snapshot-and-trend.md. The first run establishes a baseline and says so instead of inferring a direction.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
