+# QA Generate E2E Tests Workflow
+
+**Goal:** Generate automated API and E2E tests for implemented code.
+
+**Your Role:** You are a QA automation engineer. You generate tests ONLY — no code review or story validation (use the `bmad-code-review` skill for that).
+
+## Conventions
+
+- Bare paths (e.g. `checklist.md`) resolve from the skill root.
+- `{skill-root}` resolves to this skill's installed directory (where `customize.toml` lives).
+- `{project-root}`-prefixed paths resolve from the project working directory.
+- `{skill-name}` resolves to the skill directory's basename.
+
+## On Activation
+
+### Step 1: Resolve the Workflow Block
+
+Run: `python3 {project-root}/_bmad/scripts/resolve_customization.py --skill {skill-root} --key workflow`
+
+**If the script fails**, resolve the `workflow` block yourself by reading these three files in base → team → user order and applying the same structural merge rules as the resolver:
+
+1. `{skill-root}/customize.toml` — defaults
+2. `{project-root}/_bmad/custom/{skill-name}.toml` — team overrides
+3. `{project-root}/_bmad/custom/{skill-name}.user.toml` — personal overrides
+
+Any missing file is skipped. Scalars override, tables deep-merge, arrays of tables keyed by `code` or `id` replace matching entries and append new entries, and all other arrays append.
+
+### Step 2: Execute Prepend Steps
+
+Execute each entry in `{workflow.activation_steps_prepend}` in order before proceeding.
+
+### Step 3: Load Persistent Facts
+
+Treat every entry in `{workflow.persistent_facts}` as foundational context you carry for the rest of the workflow run. Entries prefixed `file:` are paths or globs under `{project-root}` — load the referenced contents as facts. All other entries are facts verbatim.
+
+### Step 4: Load Config
+
+Load config from `{project-root}/_bmad/bmm/config.yaml` and resolve:
+
+- `project_name`, `user_name`
+- `communication_language`, `document_output_language`
+- `implementation_artifacts`
+- `date` as system-generated current datetime
+- YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT in your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}`
+
+### Step 5: Greet the User
+
+Greet `{user_name}`, speaking in `{communication_language}`.
+
+### Step 6: Execute Append Steps
+
+Execute each entry in `{workflow.activation_steps_append}` in order.
+
+Activation is complete. Begin the workflow below.
+
+## Paths
+
+- `test_dir` = `{project-root}/tests`
+- `source_dir` = `{project-root}`
+- `default_output_file` = `{implementation_artifacts}/tests/test-summary.md`
+
+## Execution
+
+### Step 0: Detect Test Framework
+
+Check project for existing test framework:
+
+- Look for `package.json` dependencies (playwright, jest, vitest, cypress, etc.)
+- Check for existing test files to understand patterns
+- Use whatever test framework the project already has
+- If no framework exists:
+  - Analyze source code to determine project type (React, Vue, Node API, etc.)
+  - Search online for current recommended test framework for that stack
+  - Suggest the meta framework and use it (or ask user to confirm)
+
+### Step 1: Identify Features
+
+Ask user what to test:
+
+- Specific feature/component name
+- Directory to scan (e.g., `src/components/`)
+- Or auto-discover features in the codebase
+
+### Step 2: Generate API Tests (if applicable)
+
+For API endpoints/services, generate tests that:
+
+- Test status codes (200, 400, 404, 500)
+- Validate response structure
+- Cover happy path + 1-2 error cases
+- Use project's existing test framework patterns
+
+### Step 3: Generate E2E Tests (if UI exists)
+
+For UI features, generate tests that:
+
+- Test user workflows end-to-end
+- Use semantic locators (roles, labels, text)
+- Focus on user interactions (clicks, form fills, navigation)
+- Assert visible outcomes
+- Keep tests linear and simple
+- Follow project's existing test patterns
+
+### Step 4: Run Tests
+
+Execute tests to verify they pass (use project's test command).
+
+If failures occur, fix them immediately.
+
+### Step 5: Create Summary
+
+Output markdown summary:
+
+```markdown
+# Test Automation Summary
+
+## Generated Tests
+
+### API Tests
+- [x] tests/api/endpoint.spec.ts - Endpoint validation
+
+### E2E Tests
+- [x] tests/e2e/feature.spec.ts - User workflow
+
+## Coverage
+- API endpoints: 5/10 covered
+- UI features: 3/8 covered
+
+## Next Steps
+- Run tests in CI
+- Add more edge cases as needed
+```
+
+## Keep It Simple
+
+**Do:**
+
+- Use standard test framework APIs
+- Focus on happy path + critical errors
+- Write readable, maintainable tests
+- Run tests to verify they pass
+
+**Avoid:**
+
+- Complex fixture composition
+- Over-engineering
+- Unnecessary abstractions
+
+**For Advanced Features:**
+
+If the project needs:
+
+- Risk-based test strategy
+- Test design planning
+- Quality gates and NFR assessment
+- Comprehensive coverage analysis
+- Advanced testing patterns and utilities
+
+> **Install Test Architect (TEA) module**: <https://bmad-code-org.github.io/bmad-method-test-architecture-enterprise/>
+
+## Output
+
+Save summary to: `{default_output_file}`
+
+**Done!** Tests generated and verified. Validate against `./checklist.md`.
+
+## On Complete
+
+Run: `python3 {project-root}/_bmad/scripts/resolve_customization.py --skill {skill-root} --key workflow.on_complete`
+
+If the resolved `workflow.on_complete` is non-empty, follow it as the final terminal instruction before exiting.

 ---
 
-Follow the instructions in ./workflow.md.
+# Quick Dev New Preview Workflow
+
+**Goal:** Turn user intent into a hardened, reviewable artifact.
+
+**CRITICAL:** If a step says "read fully and follow step-XX", you read and follow step-XX. No exceptions.
+
+## READY FOR DEVELOPMENT STANDARD
+
+A specification is "Ready for Development" when:
+
+- **Actionable**: Every task has a file path and specific action.
+- **Logical**: Tasks ordered by dependency.
+- **Testable**: All ACs use Given/When/Then.
+- **Complete**: No placeholders or TBDs.
+
+## SCOPE STANDARD
+
+A specification should target a **single user-facing goal** within **900–1600 tokens**:
+
+- **Single goal**: One cohesive feature, even if it spans multiple layers/files. Multi-goal means >=2 **top-level independent shippable deliverables** — each could be reviewed, tested, and merged as a separate PR without breaking the others. Never count surface verbs, "and" conjunctions, or noun phrases. Never split cross-layer implementation details inside one user goal.
+  - Split: "add dark mode toggle AND refactor auth to JWT AND build admin dashboard"
+  - Don't split: "add validation and display errors" / "support drag-and-drop AND paste AND retry"
+- **900–1600 tokens**: Optimal range for LLM consumption. Below 900 risks ambiguity; above 1600 risks context-rot in implementation agents.
+- **Neither limit is a gate.** Both are proposals with user override.
+
+## Conventions
+
+- Bare paths (e.g. `step-01-clarify-and-route.md`) resolve from the skill root.
+- `{skill-root}` resolves to this skill's installed directory (where `customize.toml` lives).
+- `{project-root}`-prefixed paths resolve from the project working directory.
+- `{skill-name}` resolves to the skill directory's basename.

+
+- `project_name`, `planning_artifacts`, `implementation_artifacts`, `user_name`
+- `communication_language`, `document_output_language`, `user_skill_level`
+- `date` as system-generated current datetime
+- `sprint_status` = `{implementation_artifacts}/sprint-status.yaml`
+- `project_context` = `**/project-context.md` (load if exists)
+- CLAUDE.md / memory files (load if exist)
+- YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT in your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}`
+- Language MUST be tailored to `{user_skill_level}`
+- Generate all documents in `{document_output_language}`
+
+### Step 5: Greet the User
+
+Greet `{user_name}`, speaking in `{communication_language}`.
+
+### Step 6: Execute Append Steps
+
+Execute each entry in `{workflow.activation_steps_append}` in order.
+
+Activation is complete. Begin the workflow below.
+
+## WORKFLOW ARCHITECTURE
+
+This uses **step-file architecture** for disciplined execution:
+
+- **Micro-file Design**: Each step is self-contained and followed exactly
+- **Just-In-Time Loading**: Only load the current step file
+- **Sequential Enforcement**: Complete steps in order, no skipping
+- **State Tracking**: Persist progress via spec frontmatter and in-memory variables
+- **Append-Only Building**: Build artifacts incrementally
+
+### Step Processing Rules
+
+1. **READ COMPLETELY**: Read the entire step file before acting
+2. **FOLLOW SEQUENCE**: Execute sections in order
+3. **WAIT FOR INPUT**: Halt at checkpoints and wait for human
+4. **LOAD NEXT**: When directed, read fully and follow the next step file
+
+### Critical Rules (NO EXCEPTIONS)
+
+- **NEVER** load multiple step files simultaneously
+- **ALWAYS** read entire step file before execution
+- **NEVER** skip steps or optimize the sequence
+- **ALWAYS** follow the exact instructions in the step file
+- **ALWAYS** halt at checkpoints and wait for human input
+
+## FIRST STEP
+
+Read fully and follow: `./step-01-clarify-and-route.md` to begin the workflow.
