Smoke Check
Execute smoke test gate before QA hand-off with automated verification
What You Can Do
Smoke Check executes your automated test suite against the current sprint's implementation, verifies test coverage for critical paths, and produces a definitive PASS/FAIL gate report. You can run full sprint validation or quick re-checks, add platform-specific test batches (PC, console, mobile), and generate per-platform verdict tables. A failed smoke check immediately signals the build isn't ready for QA, preventing wasted QA cycles and team morale issues.
Features
runs complete automated test suite against all sprint stories
skip coverage scans for rapid validation after fixes
add PC, console, or mobile verification (keyboard, gamepad, touch, TV safe zones)
identifies untested critical paths before QA hand-off
outputs separate PASS/FAIL verdicts for each platform variant
prompts developer to confirm critical path assumptions before testing
generates timestamped report in production/qa/ directory
automatically identifies and validates your test setup
Example Output

You can conduct structured risk assessments that map pathogen transmission routes specific to your facility type and product category, then quantify which handler behaviors pose the greatest contamination risk. The skill generates facility-specific intervention hierarchies—not generic checklists—that distinguish between immediate shutdown-level risks and graduated correction timelines, making your assessments defensible in regulatory reviews and legal proceedings.

You can systematically analyze ambient air quality monitoring data against NAAQS and state standards, quantify pollution episodes with statistical rigor, and correlate air quality trends with health outcomes in vulnerable populations. This skill guides you through source attribution, health risk evaluation, and generation of technically defensible reports suitable for regulatory agencies, enforcement actions, and litigation support.
by donchitosYou can architect test automation frameworks tailored to your tech stack and design maintainable test suites from requirements. This skill helps you identify test patterns, eliminate flakiness, integrate with CI/CD pipelines, and build test infrastructure that scales with your codebase.
You can systematically evaluate workplace exposures by identifying hazards, characterizing exposure scenarios, comparing monitoring data against regulatory limits (OSHA PELs, ACGIH TLVs), and developing justified control strategies using the hierarchy of controls. This framework enables you to produce defensible assessments that meet occupational health standards and withstand regulatory scrutiny.

You can enforce test-first development across multiple entry points: parse acceptance criteria from spec files and generate test stubs, extract requirements from task files and design test scenarios, or write tests from ad-hoc descriptions. Claude guides you through the complete TDD cycle—RED (failing tests), GREEN (minimal implementation), and REFACTOR (clean code)—while leveraging your existing repository patterns and providing proptest guidance for property-based testing.
You can rapidly analyze complex foodborne illness outbreak datasets by correlating case clusters with food exposure timelines, environmental sampling results, and laboratory findings. This skill helps you establish contamination source probabilities, create investigation timelines, and produce defensible reports that support regulatory enforcement and consumer protection measures across multi-jurisdictional supply chains.

You can orchestrate a complete testing strategy that balances speed with thoroughness. Claude runs type diagnostics first to catch root causes, executes unit and integration tests in parallel for efficiency, then sequences E2E tests only after faster tests pass. This workflow prevents wasted time on slow tests when foundational issues exist.
You can convert raw water quality test results into comprehensive health risk assessments that connect detected contaminants to specific health endpoints and vulnerable populations. The skill identifies probable exposure pathways, prioritizes intervention urgency, and recommends proportionate remediation strategies grounded in epidemiological evidence and regulatory standards. This enables you to communicate complex contamination findings to diverse stakeholders—from technical regulators to community residents—with clear, actionable risk determinations.
