This skill should be used when the user asks to "test this website", "run exploratory testing", "check for accessibility issues", "verify the login flow works", "find bugs on this page", or requests automated QA testing. Triggers on web application testing scenarios including smoke tests, accessibility audits, e-commerce flows, and user flow validation using ScoutQA CLI. Use this skill proactively after implementing web application features to verify they work correctly.
Why this skill is useful
Adds specific commands and workflows for automated exploratory testing using the ScoutQA CLI that the AI wouldn't reliably generate on its own.

What this skill does
ScoutQA Testing Skill Perform AI-powered exploratory testing on web applications using the scoutqa CLI. Think of ScoutQA as an intelligent testing partner that can autonomously explore, discover issues, and verify features. Delegate testing to multiple parallel ScoutQA executions to maximize coverage while saving time. When to Use This Skill Use this skill in two scenarios: 1. User requests testing - When the user explicitly asks to test a website or verify functionality 2. Proactive verification - After implementing web features, automatically run tests to verify the implementation works correctly Example proactive usage: After implementing a login form → Test the authentication flow After adding form validation → Verify validation rules and error handling After building a checkout flow → Test the end-to-end purchase process After fixing a bug → Verify the fix works and didn't break other features Best practice: When you finish implementing a web feature, proactively start a ScoutQA test in the background to verify it works while you continue with other tasks. Running Tests Testing Workflow Copy this checklist and track your progress: Testing Progress: [ ] Write specific test prompt with clear expectations [ ] Run scoutqa command in background [ ] Inform user of execution ID and browser URL [ ] Extract and analyze results Step 1: Write specific test prompt See "Writing Effective Prompts" section below for guidelines. …
