Does it support Behavior-Driven Development (BDD)?

Yes, it includes templates and patterns for Given-When-Then (Gherkin) syntax and Spec-Driven Development workflows.

How does it help with test coverage?

The skill provides specific minimum coverage guidelines for different component types, such as 90% for business logic and 80% for API handlers, to ensure high-quality releases.

What are Quality Gates in this context?

Quality Gates are specific checklists for different stages of the CI/CD pipeline, ensuring code passes linting, unit tests, and security scans before being merged or deployed.

What is the QA Validator skill?

It is a specialized capability for Claude Code that provides expert guidance on quality assurance, test planning, and software verification based on the flowspec implementation.

Can I use it for bug reporting?

Yes, the skill includes a standardized bug report template to ensure all necessary environmental data, reproduction steps, and severity levels are captured.
