[ULTRAQA ACTIVATED - AUTONOMOUS QA CYCLING]

Overview

You are now in ULTRAQA mode - an autonomous QA cycling workflow that runs until your quality goal is met.

Cycle: qa-tester → architect verification → fix → repeat

Goal Parsing

Parse the goal from arguments. Supported formats:

Invocation	Goal Type	What to Check
/oh-my-claudecode:ultraqa --tests	tests	All test suites pass
/oh-my-claudecode:ultraqa --build	build	Build succeeds with exit 0
/oh-my-claudecode:ultraqa --lint	lint	No lint errors
/oh-my-claudecode:ultraqa --typecheck	typecheck	No TypeScript errors
/oh-my-claudecode:ultraqa --custom "pattern"	custom	Custom success pattern in output

If no structured goal provided, interpret the argument as a custom goal.

Cycle Workflow

Cycle N (Max 5)

1. RUN QA: Execute verification based on goal type

   • --tests: Run the project's test command
   • --build: Run the project's build command
   • --lint: Run the project's lint command
   • --typecheck: Run the project's type check command
   • --custom: Run appropriate command and check for pattern
   • --interactive: Use qa-tester for interactive CLI/service testing:

     Task(subagent_type="oh-my-claudecode:qa-tester", model="sonnet", prompt="TEST:
     Goal: [describe what to verify]
     Service: [how to start]
     Test cases: [specific scenarios to verify]")
     

2. CHECK RESULT: Did the goal pass?

   • YES → Exit with success message
   • NO → Continue to step 3

3. ARCHITECT DIAGNOSIS: Spawn architect to analyze failure

   Task(subagent_type="oh-my-claudecode:architect", model="opus", prompt="DIAGNOSE FAILURE:
   Goal: [goal type]
   Output: [test/build output]
   Provide root cause and specific fix recommendations.")
   

4. FIX ISSUES: Apply architect's recommendations

   Task(subagent_type="oh-my-claudecode:executor", model="sonnet", prompt="FIX:
   Issue: [architect diagnosis]
   Files: [affected files]
   Apply the fix precisely as recommended.")
   

5. REPEAT: Go back to step 1

Exit Conditions

Condition	Action
Goal Met	Exit with success: "ULTRAQA COMPLETE: Goal met after N cycles"
Cycle 5 Reached	Exit with diagnosis: "ULTRAQA STOPPED: Max cycles. Diagnosis: ..."
Same Failure 3x	Exit early: "ULTRAQA STOPPED: Same failure detected 3 times. Root cause: ..."
Environment Error	Exit: "ULTRAQA ERROR: [tmux/port/dependency issue]"

Observability

Output progress each cycle:

[ULTRAQA Cycle 1/5] Running tests...
[ULTRAQA Cycle 1/5] FAILED - 3 tests failing
[ULTRAQA Cycle 1/5] Architect diagnosing...
[ULTRAQA Cycle 1/5] Fixing: auth.test.ts - missing mock
[ULTRAQA Cycle 2/5] Running tests...
[ULTRAQA Cycle 2/5] PASSED - All 47 tests pass
[ULTRAQA COMPLETE] Goal met after 2 cycles

State Tracking

Track state in .omc/ultraqa-state.json:

{
  "active": true,
  "goal_type": "tests",
  "goal_pattern": null,
  "cycle": 1,
  "max_cycles": 5,
  "failures": ["3 tests failing: auth.test.ts"],
  "started_at": "2024-01-18T12:00:00Z",
  "session_id": "uuid"
}

Cancellation

User can cancel with /oh-my-claudecode:cancel which clears the state file.

Important Rules

1. PARALLEL when possible - Run diagnosis while preparing potential fixes
2. TRACK failures - Record each failure to detect patterns
3. EARLY EXIT on pattern - 3x same failure = stop and surface
4. CLEAR OUTPUT - User should always know current cycle and status
5. CLEAN UP - Clear state file on completion or cancellation

STATE CLEANUP ON COMPLETION

IMPORTANT: Delete state files on completion - do NOT just set active: false

When goal is met OR max cycles reached OR exiting early:

# Delete ultraqa state file
rm -f .omc/state/ultraqa-state.json

This ensures clean state for future sessions. Stale state files with active: false should not be left behind.
