Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

Produce a risk matrix or heatmap that quantifies what could break by business impact × probability, runs failure mode analysis on the top items, and maps test coverage to risk zones. Includes stakeholder interview frameworks and continuous reassessment. Run this BEFORE test-strategy or test-planning. Use when: "risk assessment," "risk matrix," "risk heatmap," "what could break," "critical paths," "failure modes," "where to focus testing." Not for: multi-quarter QA direction — use test-strategy.…

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/'risk-based-testing' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'risk-based-testing' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named risk-based-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 "$d" checkout --quiet '62434253c2592f27b494609c27f224939c86346d' -- 'skills/risk-based-testing' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/risk-based-testing' ~/.agents/skills/'risk-based-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/'risk-based-testing' ~/.claude/skills/'risk-based-testing' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
