The Curated QA Skills Directory for AI Coding Agents

The curated QA skills directory for Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, and 27+ AI coding agents.

Website | Skills Directory | Leaderboard | Get Started

Why QASkills.sh?

Among 49,000+ skills on Vercel's skills.sh, barely any are dedicated to QA testing. QASkills.sh fills that gap — a curated, QA-specific skills directory that gives your AI coding agent expert-level testing knowledge with a single command.

Terminal

npx @qaskills/cli add playwright-e2e

Code

  ✓ Detected agent: Claude Code
  ✓ Installing playwright-e2e v1.0.0...
  ✓ Skill installed successfully!

Your AI agent now writes Playwright tests using Page Object Model, fixtures, and best practices — automatically.

Quick Start

1. Install a skill (no global install needed)

Terminal

npx @qaskills/cli add playwright-e2e

2. Or install globally for faster access

Terminal

npm i -g @qaskills/cli
qaskills add playwright-e2e

3. Search for skills

Terminal

npx @qaskills/cli search "api testing"

4. List installed skills

Terminal

npx @qaskills/cli list

5. Remove a skill

Terminal

npx @qaskills/cli remove playwright-e2e

6. Or use the MCP server (search and install from inside your agent)

Listed in the official MCP registry as io.github.PramodDutta/qaskills.

bash

# Claude Code
claude mcp add qaskills -- npx -y @qaskills/mcp

json

// Any MCP client (Cursor, Windsurf, etc.)
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "qaskills": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@qaskills/mcp"] }
  }
}

Your agent gets six tools: search_skills, get_skill, get_skill_content, install_skill, list_categories, get_leaderboard. See packages/mcp.

How It Works

Code

1. SEARCH   →  Browse skills on qaskills.sh or search via CLI
2. INSTALL  →  npx @qaskills/cli add <skill-name>
3. TEST     →  Your AI agent now has QA expertise built-in

The CLI auto-detects which AI agent you're using (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, etc.) and installs the skill's SKILL.md to the correct configuration directory. Your agent reads this file and follows the testing patterns automatically.
