Bootstrap Argus QA memory for the current project. Scans the repo to detect stack, test frameworks, test commands, CI, app start command/URLs, environments, roles and risky areas, then writes .qa/context.md — the product knowledge every Argus agent reads first. Run once per project; re-run to refresh.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
2 rules. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈0
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
2
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 14
Test frameworks and configs: playwright.config.*, cypress.config.*, jest/vitest.config.*, pytest.ini/conftest.py, karma, JUnit and similar.
- Very specific: line 15
Test and run commands: scripts in package.json, Makefile, justfile, docker-compose*.yml, Procfile, the README
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Build the QA memory for this project. Extra notes from the user: $ARGUMENTS
Steps
- Detect (read-only):
- Stack and package managers:
package.json,pyproject.toml/requirements*.txt,go.mod,pom.xml/build.gradle,Gemfile,composer.json,Cargo.toml - Test frameworks and configs:
playwright.config.*,cypress.config.*,jest/vitest.config.*,pytest.ini/conftest.py,karma, JUnit and similar. Count the test files per type. - Test and run commands: scripts in
package.json,Makefile,justfile,docker-compose*.yml,Procfile, the README - CI:
.github/workflows/*,.gitlab-ci.yml,Jenkinsfile. Note which tests run on PRs. - API contracts:
openapi*.{yml,yaml,json},swagger*,*.graphql, route files - Auth and roles: grep for
role,permission,isAdmin, auth middleware - Risk hotspots:
git log --since=6.months --name-only --pretty=format: | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head -15(churn), plus files named payment, billing, auth, migration - Existing QA assets:
docs/, test plans,.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE
- Stack and package managers:
- Ask the user only about what you couldn't detect and that matters: the staging/local URL, test accounts (never store real passwords; reference env var names instead), what must never be touched, and any known flaky areas.
- Write
.qa/context.mdusing this template, and create.qa/{bugs,sessions,reports,evidence,testcases}/with a.gitkeepin each:
# QA Context: <project>
_Last updated: <date> by Argus /qa-init. Agents: append learnings, don't rewrite history._
## Product in one paragraph
## Users and roles
| Role | Can | Test account (env var) |
## Environments
| Env | URL | Safe for writes? | Notes |
## How to run
- Install: … · Start app: … · Unit: … · E2E: … · Lint/types: …
## Test landscape
| Level | Framework | Location | # files | Runs in CI? |
## Critical user journeys (money paths)
1. …
## Risk hotspots
| Area | Why risky | Evidence (churn, bugs, complexity) |
## Exit criteria (defaults, edit me)
## Never do
- No writes to production · no real emails/SMS/payments · …
## Known issues and flake patterns
## Glossary (domain terms)- Suggest adding
.qa/evidence/to.gitignore(screenshots may contain data) and committing the rest so the whole team shares the QA memory. - Summarize in five lines or fewer: what was detected, what's missing, and the 3 best next Argus commands for this project.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
