QA Review

Comprehensive quality assurance review combining adaptive automated checks, test architecture assessment, non-functional requirements validation, and requirements traceability. Use this skill when reviewing implemented stories to ensure quality standards are met.

Adaptive Review Strategy: Intelligently chooses between direct tools (fast) and parallel agents (thorough) based on story size, complexity, and documentation quality. Completes review in single pass without waiting for user input.

Re-Review Capability: Automatically detects existing QA artifacts and performs re-review when previous gate has CONCERNS/FAIL or lists top_issues. Only skips re-review if gate is clean PASS with no issues.

Lite Mode (Pipeline Contract)

When invoked from the /develop-story orchestrator, the call may be prefixed with the lite-mode directive. See references/develop-pipeline-lite-mode.md for trigger conditions, pipeline behaviour, and directive format.
