Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/proffesor-for-testing/agentic-qe --skill quality-metrics- 01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads quality-metrics automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
Quality Metrics
<default_to_action> When measuring quality or building dashboards:
- MEASURE outcomes (bug escape rate, MTTD) not activities (test count)
- AVOID vanity metrics: 100% coverage means nothing if tests don't catch bugs
- SET thresholds that drive behavior (quality gates block bad code)
- TREND over time: Direction matters more than absolute numbers </default_to_action>
Quick Reference Card
When to Use
- Building quality dashboards
- Defining quality gates
- Evaluating testing effectiveness
- Justifying quality investments
Quality Gate Thresholds
| Metric | Blocking Threshold | Warning |
|---|---|---|
| Test pass rate | 100% | - |
| Critical coverage | > 80% | > 70% |
| Security critical | 0 | - |
| Performance p95 | < 200ms | < 500ms |
| Flaky tests | < 2% | < 5% |
Dashboard Design
// Agent generates quality dashboard
await Task("Generate Dashboard", {

delivery: ['deployment-frequency', 'lead-time', 'change-failure-rate'],
quality: ['bug-escape-rate', 'test-effectiveness', 'defect-density'],
stability: ['mttd', 'mttr', 'availability'],
process: ['code-review-time', 'flaky-test-rate', 'coverage-trend']
},

alerts: {
critical: { bug_escape_rate: '>20%', mttr: '>24h' },
warning: { coverage: '<70%', flaky_rate: '>5%' }
}
