Phase 1: progressive-disclosure refactor — tester (720 → 434 lines) - #21
Merged
Conversation
Split into a lean SKILL.md (gate check, trigger, context, doc lookup, role, jira integration, workflow, /e2e review, defect severity, team collab, workflow triggers, checklist, anti-patterns, universal principles + references index) and 2 references/ files: templates (test plan, execution report, defect ticket) and methodology (test design, predictable behavior, manual testing, advanced patterns, cross-reference). Real section boundaries; fences verified. No content lost.

Pull request overview
Refactors the tester skill into a progressive-disclosure layout by keeping SKILL.md as a lean “router” and moving detailed QA templates and methodology into references/ files for on-demand loading.
Changes:
- Removed the embedded Test Plan / Test Report / Defect templates from
SKILL.mdand moved them intoreferences/templates.md. - Removed the embedded “test design + methodology” deep-dive section from
SKILL.mdand moved it intoreferences/methodology.md. - Added a “Deep-dive references” section in
SKILL.mdpointing to the new reference files.

…ters Test plan and defect templates moved to references/templates.md; update the Confluence/Jira snippet placeholders to point there instead of 'below'.
Use the role commands /qa (test design/manual) and /e2e (automation) instead of the persona aliases /rob and /adam, consistent with the rest of the skill.
… anchors Add the exact heading anchors (#test-plan-template-confluence, #defect-template-jira-bug-ticket) to the references/templates.md pointers so readers land on the right section. (Refs sit inside code-example blocks, so the anchor is included in the path rather than a rendered markdown link.)

What
Slice-4 refactor #16. Splits
tester(720 lines) into a leanSKILL.md(434 lines) + 2references/files:templates.md— test plan, test execution report, defect (bug ticket) templates.methodology.md— test design before implementation, predictable system behavior, manual testing methodology, advanced QA patterns, cross-reference verification.Lean
SKILL.mdkeeps gate check, role, jira integration, workflow, /e2e-review gate, defect severity, team collab, workflow triggers, checklist, anti-patterns, universal principles.Why
Same pattern as #5–#20. No content lost (720 → 434 + 2 refs); real boundaries; fences verified balanced/non-nested.
Review focus
Content preservation; coherent lean router.
