Design and execute structured exploratory testing sessions. Covers Session-Based Test Management (SBTM), charter writing, heuristic-based exploration (HICCUPS, FEW HICCUPS), bug discovery patterns, note-taking templates, and conversion of findings to automated tests. Use when: "exploratory testing," "SBTM," "manual testing," "bug hunting," "test charter," "heuristic testing." Not for: an AI browser agent autonomously exploring the app from a natural-language goal — use agentic-browser-testing. …

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'exploratory-testing' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'exploratory-testing' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named exploratory-testing already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/petrkindlmann/qa-skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '62434253c2592f27b494609c27f224939c86346d' -- 'skills/exploratory-testing' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/exploratory-testing' ~/.agents/skills/'exploratory-testing' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'exploratory-testing' ~/.claude/skills/'exploratory-testing' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
