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](roles/strategist/role.md) | QASTRAT- | false | | generator | roles/generator/role.md | QAGEN- | false | | executor | [roles/executor/role.md](roles/executor/role.md) | QARUN- | dynamic | | 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

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:

Agent({
  subagent_type: "team-worker",
  description: "Spawn <role> worker",
  team_name: "quality-assurance",
  name: "<role>",
  run_in_background: true,
  prompt: `## Role Assignment
role: <role>
role_spec: <skill_root>/roles/<role>/role.md
session: <session-folder>
session_id: <session-id>
team_name: quality-assurance
requirement: <task-description>
inner_loop: <true|false>

## Progress Milestones
session_id: <session-id>
Report progress via team_msg at natural phase boundaries (context loaded -> core work done -> verification).
Report blockers immediately via team_msg type="blocker".
Report completion via team_msg type="task_complete" after final SendMessage.

Read role_spec file (@<skill_root>/roles/<role>/role.md) to load Phase 2-4 domain instructions.
Execute built-in Phase 1 (task discovery) -> role Phase 2-4 -> built-in Phase 5 (report).`
})

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 |

Completion Action

When pipeline completes, coordinator presents:

AskUserQuestion({
  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 team" },
      { 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 |
