+# QA Plan Creator
+
+## Purpose
+
+Generate any type of QA planning document. Supports 10 plan types with consistent structure, Gantt timelines, and integration with other QA skills for accelerated onboarding and execution.
+
+## Trigger Phrases
+
+- "Create a test plan" / "Generate test plan for [project]"
+- "Sprint test plan" / "Sprint plan for [sprint N]"
+- "Regression plan" / "Regression testing plan"
+- "Release test plan" / "Release readiness plan"
+- "UAT plan" / "User acceptance testing plan"
+- "Performance test plan" / "Load test plan"
+- "Migration test plan" / "Data migration test plan"
+- "QA onboarding plan" / "Onboard new QA engineer"
+- "QA introduction plan" / "Project overview for QA"
+- "Custom plan from [description]"
+
+## Plan Types
+
+| Plan Type | Description |
+| --------- | ----------- |
+| **Test Plan** | Master test plan covering full project scope per ISO 29119-3 |
+| **Sprint Test Plan** | Sprint-scoped test plan for Agile iterations |
+| **Regression Plan** | Regression testing scope, scope selection, and execution strategy |
+| **Release Test Plan** | Release readiness criteria, sign-off gates, deployment validation |
+| **UAT Plan** | User acceptance testing with business scenarios and acceptance criteria |
+| **Performance Test Plan** | Load profiles, SLAs, thresholds, environments, tools |
+| **Migration Test Plan** | Data validation, rollback strategy, compatibility matrix |
+| **QA Onboarding Plan** | Week/month plan for new QA engineer joining project |
+| **QA Introduction Plan** | Project overview: tools, frameworks, phases, timelines, team |
+| **Custom Plan** | Free-form plan from user description |
+
+## Output Structure
+
+Every plan type includes these sections:
+- **Scope** — In-scope and out-of-scope items
+- **Objectives** — Clear, measurable goals
+- **Strategy** — Approach, techniques, tools
+- **Schedule** — Phases, milestones, timeline (auto-includes Gantt via qa-diagram-generator)
+- **Resources** — Roles, responsibilities, staffing
+- **Risks** — Identified risks and mitigations
+- **Deliverables** — Artifacts to produce
+- **Approval Criteria** — Entry/exit criteria, sign-off gates
+
+## QA Onboarding Plan Example (Skills Integration)
+
+Accelerated onboarding using QA skills ecosystem:
+
+| Phase | Activities | Skills Used |
+| ----- | ---------- | ----------- |
+| **Day 1-2** | Environment setup, tools access | `qa-environment-checker` |
+| **Day 3-5** | Documentation generation, codebase familiarity | `qa-requirements-generator` (from-code, from-url) |
+| **Week 2** | Test case generation, first reviews | `qa-testcase-from-docs`, `qa-testcase-from-ui` |
+| **Week 3** | First automation, CI/CD setup | Phase 3 skills (Playwright, API, etc.) |
+| **Week 4** | Independent testing, coverage analysis | Coverage tools, bug reporting |
+
+Without skills: same steps typically take 2-3 months. With skills: ~1 month.
+
+## Embedding: Diagram Generator
+
+Auto-include Gantt timelines for all plans. Reference qa-diagram-generator:
+- **Timelines** → `references/gantt.md` (Mermaid `gantt` syntax)
+- **Phase flow** → `references/flowchart.md`
+- **Resource allocation** → `references/mindmap.md`
+
+## Workflow
+
+1. **Input:** Plan type + context (project name, scope, dates, constraints)
+2. **Template selection:** Load appropriate reference from `references/`
+3. **Content generation:** Fill sections per plan type
+4. **Gantt:** Generate timeline diagram via qa-diagram-generator
+5. **Output:** Complete plan document with embedded diagram
+
+## Scope
+
+**Can do (autonomous):**
+- Generate any of the 10 plan types from user input
+- Populate all standard sections (Scope, Objectives, Strategy, Schedule, Resources, Risks, Deliverables, Approval criteria)
+- Call qa-diagram-generator for Gantt charts and phase diagrams
+- Reference other QA skills in onboarding/introduction plans
+- Adapt templates to project context
+
+**Cannot do (requires confirmation):**
+- Change project scope or release dates set by stakeholders
+- Assign resources without approval
+- Override organizational test policy
+
+**Will not do (out of scope):**
+- Execute tests or automation
+- Modify production code or environments
+- Approve plans (approval is stakeholder responsibility)
+
+## Quality Checklist
+
+- [ ] Plan type matches user request
+- [ ] All 8 output sections present and populated
+- [ ] Scope clearly defines in/out boundaries
+- [ ] Objectives are measurable (SMART)
+- [ ] Schedule includes phases and milestones
+- [ ] Gantt diagram generated for timeline visualization
+- [ ] Risks have mitigations
+- [ ] Approval criteria are testable
+- [ ] References to other skills correct (onboarding/introduction plans)
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+| Symptom | Likely Cause | Fix |
+| ------- | ------------ | --- |
+| Plan too generic | Insufficient context provided | Ask for project name, scope, dates, team size |
+| Missing Gantt | qa-diagram-generator not invoked | Explicitly call for Gantt with phase dates |
+| Wrong plan type | Ambiguous user request | Clarify: "test plan" vs "sprint plan" vs "release plan" |
+| Onboarding too long | Not using skills integration | Add skills references to accelerate phases |
+| Approval criteria vague | Subjective language | Replace with measurable exit conditions |
+| Duplicate sections | Template overlap | Use plan-type-specific reference template |
+
+## Reference Templates
+
+| Plan Type | Reference File |
+| --------- | -------------- |
+| Test Plan | `references/test-plan.md` |
+| Sprint Plan | `references/sprint-plan.md` |
+| Regression Plan | `references/regression-plan.md` |
+| Release Plan | `references/release-plan.md` |
+| UAT Plan | `references/uat-plan.md` |
