scoutqa-test
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.

# 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: Test

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add github/awesome-copilot --skill scoutqa-test --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From github/awesome-copilot, a repository with 37,432 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
