Team Quality Assurance

Orchestrate multi-agent QA: scout -> strategist -> generator -> executor -> analyst. Supports discovery, testing, and full closed-loop modes with parallel generation and GC loops.

Role Registry

Role	Path	Prefix	Inner Loop
coordinator	roles/coordinator/role.md	—	—
scout	roles/scout/role.md	SCOUT-*	false
strategist	roles/strategist/role.md	QASTRAT-*	false
generator	roles/generator/role.md	QAGEN-*	false
executor	roles/executor/role.md	QARUN-*	true
analyst	roles/analyst/role.md	QAANA-*	false

Role Router

Parse $ARGUMENTS:

Has --role <name> -> Read roles/<name>/role.md, execute Phase 2-4
No --role -> roles/coordinator/role.md, execute entry router

Delegation Lock

Coordinator is a PURE ORCHESTRATOR. It coordinates, it does NOT do.

Before calling ANY tool, apply this check:

Tool Call	Verdict	Reason
`spawn_agent`, `wait_agent`, `close_agent`, `send_message`, `assign_task`	ALLOWED	Orchestration
`list_agents`	ALLOWED	Agent health check
`request_user_input`	ALLOWED	User interaction
`mcp__ccw-tools__team_msg`	ALLOWED	Message bus
`Read/Write` on `.workflow/.team/` files	ALLOWED	Session state
`Read` on `roles/`, `commands/`, `specs/`	ALLOWED	Loading own instructions
`Read/Grep/Glob` on project source code	BLOCKED	Delegate to worker
`Edit` on any file outside `.workflow/`	BLOCKED	Delegate to worker
`Bash("ccw cli ...")`	BLOCKED	Only workers call CLI
`Bash` running build/test/lint commands	BLOCKED	Delegate to worker

If a tool call is BLOCKED: STOP. Create a task, spawn a worker.

No exceptions for "simple" tasks. Even a single-file read-and-report MUST go through spawn_agent.

Shared Constants

Session prefix: QA
Session path: .workflow/.team/QA-<slug>-<date>/
Team name: quality-assurance
CLI tools: ccw cli --mode analysis (read-only), ccw cli --mode write (modifications)
Message bus: mcp__ccw-tools__team_msg(session_id=<session-id>, ...)

Worker Spawn Template

Coordinator spawns workers using this template:

spawn_agent({
  agent_type: "team_worker",
  task_name: "<task-id>",
  fork_context: false,
  items: [
    { type: "text", text: `## Role Assignment
role: <role>
role_spec: <skill_root>/roles/<role>/role.md
session: <session-folder>
session_id: <session-id>
requirement: <task-description>
inner_loop: <true|false>

Read role_spec file (<skill_root>/roles/<role>/role.md) to load Phase 2-4 domain instructions.` },

    { type: "text", text: `## Task Context
task_id: <task-id>
title: <task-title>
description: <task-description>
pipeline_phase: <pipeline-phase>` },

    { type: "text", text: `## Upstream Context
<prev_context>` }
  ]
})

After spawning, use wait_agent({ targets: [...], timeout_ms: 900000 }) to collect results, then close_agent({ target }) each worker.

Model Selection Guide

Role	model	reasoning_effort	Rationale
Scout (SCOUT-*)	(default)	medium	Issue discovery scanning, less reasoning needed
Strategist (QASTRAT-*)	(default)	high	Test strategy design requires deep analysis
Generator (QAGEN-*)	(default)	high	Test code generation needs precision
Executor (QARUN-*)	(default)	medium	Running tests and collecting results
Analyst (QAANA-*)	(default)	high	Quality analysis and coverage assessment

Override model/reasoning_effort in spawn_agent when cost optimization is needed:

spawn_agent({
  agent_type: "team_worker",
  task_name: "<task-id>",
  fork_context: false,
  model: "<model-override>",
  reasoning_effort: "<effort-level>",
  items: [...]
})

User Commands

Command	Action
`check` / `status`	View pipeline status graph
`resume` / `continue`	Advance to next step
`--mode=discovery`	Force discovery mode
`--mode=testing`	Force testing mode
`--mode=full`	Force full QA mode

v4 Agent Coordination

Message Semantics

Intent	API	Example
Send scout findings to running strategist	`send_message`	Queue issue scan results to QASTRAT-*
Not used in this skill	`assign_task`	No resident agents -- all workers are one-shot
Check running agents	`list_agents`	Verify agent health during resume

Pipeline Pattern

Sequential pipeline with GC loops: scout -> strategist -> generator -> executor -> analyst. The executor/generator may loop via GC fix tasks when coverage is below target (max 3 rounds).

Agent Health Check

Use list_agents({}) in handleResume and handleComplete:

// Reconcile session state with actual running agents
const running = list_agents({})
// Compare with tasks.json active_agents
// Reset orphaned tasks (in_progress but agent gone) to pending

Named Agent Targeting

Workers are spawned with task_name: "<task-id>" enabling direct addressing:

send_message({ target: "QASTRAT-001", items: [...] }) -- queue scout findings to running strategist
close_agent({ target: "SCOUT-001" }) -- cleanup by name after completion

Completion Action

When pipeline completes, coordinator presents:

request_user_input({
  questions: [{
    question: "Quality Assurance pipeline complete. What would you like to do?",
    header: "Completion",
    multiSelect: false,
    options: [
      { label: "Archive & Clean (Recommended)", description: "Archive session, clean up" },
      { label: "Keep Active", description: "Keep session for follow-up work" },
      { label: "Export Results", description: "Export deliverables to target directory" }
    ]
  }]
})

Error Handling

Scenario	Resolution
Unknown --role value	Error with available role list
Role not found	Error with expected path (roles/<name>/role.md)
CLI tool fails	Worker fallback to direct implementation
Scout finds no issues	Report clean scan, skip to testing mode
GC loop exceeded	Accept current coverage with warning
Fast-advance conflict	Coordinator reconciles on next callback
Completion action fails	Default to Keep Active
