The skill aims to eliminate manual QA by enabling agents to self-converge in a closed loop, reducing the time developers spend reviewing agent output.", "body_md": "Every AI coding session ends the same way: the agent says \"Done ✓\" — and you spend the next 30 minutes manually clicking through everything to find out it isn't.\n\nI got tired of being my agent's test suite. So I built **stop-manual-testing** — a skill that flips the loop: every task ends with machine-checkable criteria the agent must actually run and pass before it's allowed to say \"done\".\n\nIt's modular, checks can run in parallel, and it works across agent-driven workflows.\n\nA skill that stops you from manually testing your AI agent. The agent reads it, builds a machine-checkable verification system, and self-converges in a closed loop — collapsing the ~90% of dev time you spend staring at runs and judging by gut feel.\n\n[中文]· English\n\nA [skill](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/agent-skills/overview) for AI coding agents (Claude Code / Codex / ZCode / Cursor). Load it once, and instead of you manually clicking through the UI and eyeballing whether the agent \"got better or worse this run,\" the agent builds itself a verification system where correctness is machine-checkable — then iterates inside a closed loop until it converges.\n\nIf you develop AI agents, you are likely stuck here:\n\nIf you're spending more time reviewing your agent's work than actually creating, give it a try — feedback welcome.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/stop-being-your-agent-s-qa-a-skill-that-makes-ai-coding-agents-prove-their-work", "canonical_source": "https://dev.to/kaiji1126/stop-being-your-agents-qa-a-skill-that-makes-ai-coding-agents-prove-their-work-4gkn", "published_at": "2026-09-02 16:11:56+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-09-02 16:24:20.313760+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-agents", "developer-tools", "ai-tools"], "entities": ["Claude Code", "Codex", "ZCode", "Cursor"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/stop-being-your-agent-s-qa-a-skill-that-makes-ai-coding-agents-prove-their-work", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/stop-being-your-agent-s-qa-a-skill-that-makes-ai-coding-agents-prove-their-work.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/stop-being-your-agent-s-qa-a-skill-that-makes-ai-coding-agents-prove-their-work.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/stop-being-your-agent-s-qa-a-skill-that-makes-ai-coding-agents-prove-their-work.jsonld"}}
