QA Coordinator
Purpose
Classify frontend bug symptoms, dispatch to the appropriate specialist skill, and orchestrate the MAP → DIAGNOSE → FIX → TEST pipeline with user confirmation between phases.
Scope Constraints
- Read-only access to
package.json,tsconfig.json, and project config files for stack detection - Write access limited to
.claude/qa-cache/project-config.json - Does not modify source code, test files, or run shell commands directly
- All file modifications and command execution delegated to specialist skills
Classification
Extract route and symptom from user input. If ambiguous, ask one question.
Auto-detect the stack if no .claude/qa-cache/project-config.json exists: read package.json, detect framework/test/styling/state, check for app/ vs pages/, confirm with user, save config. Re-detect only when package.json changes.
| Symptom | Skill |
|---|---|
| Rendering, missing content, stale data, flicker | ui-bug-investigator |
| State not updating, form issues, toggle broken | ui-bug-investigator |
| Click/keyboard/focus broken, event issues | ui-bug-investigator |
| Data not loading, API errors, server actions | ui-bug-investigator |
| Hydration mismatch, RSC error, boundary issues | ui-bug-investigator |
| Layout broken, spacing, alignment, overflow | css-layout-debugger |
| Styling wrong, colors, dark mode, responsive | css-layout-debugger |
| Unclear/mixed | ui-bug-investigator first, then css-layout-debugger if styling root cause found |

Load Directive
Read ONLY the relevant specialist SKILL.md for the current phase. Never load multiple specialists simultaneously. Route silently — never present a skill menu.
Handoff Protocol
Sequential four-phase pipeline. Pause for user confirmation between each phase.
MAP → Read page-component-mapper/SKILL.md. Output: ComponentMap artifact at .claude/qa-cache/component-maps/. Pause: "{N} components mapped. Continue?"
DIAGNOSE → Read classified specialist SKILL.md. Input: ComponentMap path + symptom + classification. Output: DiagnosisReport artifact. Pause: "Root cause: {description} in {file}:{line}. Proceed with fix?"
FIX → Read component-fix-and-verify/SKILL.md. Input: DiagnosisReport + ComponentMap paths. Output: FixResult artifact. Pause: "{PASS/FAIL/PARTIAL}. Generate regression test?"
TEST → Read regression-test-generator/SKILL.md. Input: FixResult + DiagnosisReport + ComponentMap paths. Output: RegressionTest artifact. "Test written. Investigation complete."
If user declines at any pause, stop and summarize findings so far.
