true-skills: Instructions file for Kiro

.kiro/steering/true-platform-testing.md

true-skills true-platform-testing.md is an instructions file for Kiro from katalon-labs/true-skills. It costs 10,379 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A routing guide for Katalon True Platform and TestOps work across the testing lifecycle. It directs different roles, such as manual testers, automation testers, and test leads, to the appropriate testing tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Routing people to planning, test-case creation, automation, execution, failure analysis, review, maintenance, and release analysis.
Why use it?
It helps a request start in the right place instead of treating every testing question as the same kind of work.

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 true-platform-testing.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 21d 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 — 796 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Katalon True Platform Testing

Use this skill for requirement-to-execution workflows in Katalon True Platform/TestOps, and as the router across the full 7-stage testing lifecycle. Prefer Katalon MCP tools for platform operations and Browser/Playwright only for external AUT exploration or visual verification.

Role Routing

Ask who is in front of you before asking which stage they are in. A skill is listed here when a request phrased in role terms, naming no skill, should land there first. Everything else is reached by handoff.

Role Comes here to Starts at Then
Manual tester turn a written requirement into cases and run them create-test-cases execute-test, analyze-failures
Automation tester turn cases into code, run it, ship the results test-case-to-playwright playwright-execute, upload-report, test-maintenance
Test lead scope the cycle, judge readiness, keep the suite healthy test-plan test-review, test-management, release-analyze
Test manager read coverage and risk, and call ship release-analyze test-review, test-management

platform-setup is role-neutral and comes first for everyone who has not connected the MCP yet. Synonyms (SDET, automation engineer, QA engineer, QA analyst, test analyst, QA lead, QA manager), the full intent-to-skill map, and what to fall back to for the parts not built yet are in references/lifecycle-map.md.

Lifecycle Routing

The Katalon testing lifecycle has 7 stages. For a focused request, route to the matching skill; for a full-flow request, run the stages in order and stop when the user's goal is met. Full map + tool lists: references/lifecycle-map.md.

Stage Route to skill When
1 Plan test-plan scope, risk-prioritized plan, executable folder+suite for a sprint/release
2 Design create-test-cases (+ test-case-to-playwright) author/import cases from requirements
3 Manage test-management organize inventory, classify, requirement traceability audit
4 Review test-review pre-pipeline coverage/quality/flakiness verdict
5 Execute execute-test (+ upload-report, playwright-execute) manual, Run with AI, automated, cloud
6 Analyze analyze-failures + release-analyze failure triage/defects; ship/no-ship call
7 Maintain test-maintenance repair flaky/broken cases, regenerate, feed gaps back to plan
pre / cross platform-setup connect and verify the MCP

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.
