## 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.
```bash
npx @qaskills/cli add playwright-e2e
```
```
✓ 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)
```bash
npx @qaskills/cli add playwright-e2e
```
### 2. Or install globally for faster access
```bash
npm i -g @qaskills/cli
qaskills add playwright-e2e
```
### 3. Search for skills
```bash
npx @qaskills/cli search "api testing"
```
### 4. List installed skills
```bash
npx @qaskills/cli list
```
### 5. Remove a skill
```bash
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](https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io) 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](packages/mcp/README.md).

## Skill Packs
Install multiple skills at once with curated packs:
| Pack | Includes | Use Case |
|------|----------|----------|
| **Full Stack QA** | Playwright + Cypress + k6 + OWASP + Jest + Pytest + CI/CD | Complete QA coverage |

## How It Works
```
1. SEARCH → Browse skills on qaskills.sh or search via CLI
2. INSTALL → npx @qaskills/cli add
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.
