Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00140 | $0.05178 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00070 | $0.02589 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00028 | $0.01036 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00014 | $0.00518 |
Grade A, and why
quality-postmortem 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 7d 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 — 384 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Quick Route
| You have... | Go to | Template |
|---|---|---|
| One escaped bug to dissect | Bug Pattern Analysis | Escaped Bug Analysis (references/templates.md) |
| 10+ escaped bugs, looking for themes | Aggregating Patterns Over Time | — |
| A proactive quarterly check (no incident) | Test Suite Health Review | — |
| A P0/P1 production incident | Postmortem Template for Quality Incidents | references/templates.md |
| A recurring sprint/monthly review | Retro Meeting Template | references/templates.md |
Discovery Questions
Check .agents/qa-project-context.md in the project root first — it carries quality goals, risk areas, and test suite details that anchor any postmortem. Use it and skip anything already answered there. Then clarify:
-
Do you have a regular retro cadence? Per-sprint, monthly, or only after incidents? Regular cadence catches slow-burn problems. Incident-only cadence misses patterns until they explode.
-
What triggered this postmortem? A production incident? A pattern of escaped bugs? A feeling that the test suite is not catching enough? Test suite degradation? The trigger determines the focus.
-
What data is available? Bug tracker with severity and discovery phase? CI history with pass rates? Flaky test reports? Coverage trends? Without data, postmortems devolve into opinion sessions.
-
What happened with previous postmortem action items? Were they completed? Tracked? Forgotten? If past action items are abandoned, the team has learned that postmortems do not matter. Fix the follow-through before running another postmortem.
-
Who should participate? Engineers who worked on the affected area. QA who tested (or did not test) it. Product owner if the impact was user-facing. Engineering manager if systemic changes are needed. Keep the group to 4-8 people.
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

quality-postmortem is a skill published in the GitHub repository petrkindlmann/qa-skills (110 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 140 tokens to every session and 5,178 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.

Debugging Strategies
Advanced debugging patterns for test failures covering root cause analysis, flakiness investigation, performance debugging, and systematic troubleshooting methodologies.
Flaky Test Doctor
Diagnose flaky test failures from Playwright reports, traces, and rerun history. Classify each failure as product, test, environment, data, or unknown with cited evidence and a proposed fix. Never auto-modifies code without opt-in.
Concurrency Testing Patterns
Testing concurrent code including race condition detection, deadlock prevention, thread safety verification, and parallel execution correctness.
fix-bug
Fixes a bug through test-driven debugging, reproduces it with a failing test, locates the root cause with evidence (file:line), then applies the smallest fix that resolves it without refactoring unrelated code. Use when the user wants to fix a bug, debug an issue, resolve an error, or investigate a failing test. Not…

Triage Katalon True Platform/TestOps test failures and file defects. Use when you need to investigate failed test results, classify each failure as product defect vs automation defect vs environment/data issue, cluster failures by common signature, find likely root cause from execution data, and optionally create…

Use when investigating failed agent-qa runs, inspecting artifacts, classifying failures, or comparing recent runs. Prefer agent-qa MCP run/artifact tools and produce evidence-backed triage.
