## Skill routing

When the user's request matches an available skill, invoke it via the Skill tool. When in doubt, invoke the skill.

Key routing rules:
- Product ideas/brainstorming → invoke /office-hours
- Strategy/scope → invoke /plan-ceo-review
- Architecture → invoke /plan-eng-review
- Design system/plan review → invoke /design-consultation or /plan-design-review
- Full review pipeline → invoke /autoplan
- Bugs/errors → invoke /investigate
- QA/testing site behavior → invoke /qa or /qa-only
- Code review/diff check → invoke /review
- Visual polish → invoke /design-review
- Ship/deploy/PR → invoke /ship or /land-and-deploy
- Save progress → invoke /context-save
- Resume context → invoke /context-restore
- Author a backlog-ready spec/issue → invoke /spec

Conversation context: Check if a prior /plan-eng-review or /plan-ceo-review produced test plan output in this conversation
Use whichever source is richer. Fall back to git diff analysis only if neither is available.

Analyze the branch diff to understand what changed:

git diff main...HEAD --name-only
git log main..HEAD --oneline

Identify affected pages/routes from the changed files:
- Controller/route files → which URL paths they serve
- View/template/component files → which pages render them
- Model/service files → which pages use those models (check controllers that reference them)
- CSS/style files → which pages include those stylesheets
- API endpoints → test them directly with $B js "await fetch('/api/...')"
- Static pages (markdown, HTML) → navigate to them directly
If no obvious pages/routes are identified from the diff: Do not skip browser testing. The user invoked /qa because they want browser-based verification. Fall back to Quick mode — navigate to the homepage, follow the top 5 navigation targets, check console for errors, and test any interactive elements found. Backend, config, and infrastructure changes affect app behavior — always verify the app still works.

Detect the running app — check common local dev ports:

$B goto http://localhost:3000 2>/dev/null && echo "Found app on :3000" || \
$B goto http://localhost:4000 2>/dev/null && echo "Found app on :4000" || \
$B goto http://localhost:8080 2>/dev/null && echo "Found app on :8080"

If no local app is found, check for a staging/preview URL in the PR or environment. If nothing works, ask the user for the URL.

Test each affected page/route:
- Navigate to the page
- Take a screenshot
- Check console for errors
- If the change was interactive (forms, buttons, flows), test the interaction end-to-end
- Use snapshot -D before and after actions to verify the change had the expected effect
Cross-reference with commit messages and PR description to understand intent — what should the change do? Verify it actually does that.
Check TODOS.md (if it exists) for known bugs or issues related to the changed files. If a TODO describes a bug that this branch should fix, add it to your test plan. If you find a new bug during QA that isn't in TODOS.md, note it in the report.
Report findings scoped to the branch changes:
- "Changes tested: N pages/routes affected by this branch"
- For each: does it work? Screenshot evidence.
- Any regressions on adjacent pages?

$B snapshot -i -a -o "$REPORT_DIR/screenshots/page-name.png"

Visual scan — Look at the annotated screenshot for layout issues
Interactive elements — Click buttons, links, controls. Do they work?
Forms — Fill and submit. Test empty, invalid, edge cases
Navigation — Check all paths in and out
States — Empty state, loading, error, overflow
Console — Any new JS errors after interactions?

Responsiveness — Check mobile viewport if relevant:

$B viewport 375x812
$B screenshot "$REPORT_DIR/screenshots/page-mobile.png"
$B viewport 1280x720

$B screenshot "$REPORT_DIR/screenshots/issue-001-step-1.png"
$B click @e5
$B screenshot "$REPORT_DIR/screenshots/issue-001-result.png"
$B snapshot -D

$B snapshot -i -a -o "$REPORT_DIR/screenshots/issue-002.png"

Compute health score using the rubric below
Write "Top 3 Things to Fix" — the 3 highest-severity issues
Write console health summary — aggregate all console errors seen across pages
Update severity counts in the summary table
Fill in report metadata — date, duration, pages visited, screenshot count, framework

Save baseline — write baseline.json with:

{
  "date": "YYYY-MM-DD",
  "url": "<target>",
  "healthScore": N,
  "issues": [{ "id": "ISSUE-001", "title": "...", "severity": "...", "category": "..." }],
  "categoryScores": { "console": N, "links": N, ... }

Set up the precondition that triggered the bug (the exact state that made it break)
Perform the action that exposed the bug
Assert the correct behavior (NOT "it renders" or "it doesn't throw")
If you found adjacent edge cases while tracing, test those too (e.g., null input, empty array, boundary value)

Include full attribution comment:

// Regression: ISSUE-NNN — {what broke}
// Found by /qa on {YYYY-MM-DD}
// Report: .gstack/qa-reports/qa-report-{domain}-{date}.md
