QA is an on-demand action, not a pipeline stage. Run it whenever there is something worth verifying: after a build task, before a deploy, or any time the app feels off. Its job, in the agent’s own words: “verify whether the user’s app actually works.”

Who runs it

The QA Agent. It is not a linter or a static analyzer; it drives a real headless Chromium browser (via Browserbase/Steel with Stagehand) against your app’s live preview URL, clicking, typing, and asserting like a user would, and it screenshots after every action so each finding comes with visual evidence.

What it tests

Every run covers four areas:

What it reads

  • The live preview URL from your sandbox
  • The critical flows defined in your PRD
  • The app’s route map
Because the flows come from your PRD, QA tests the product you specified, not a generic checklist.

Verdicts

Every run ends in a single verdict:
  • Pass: the app works
  • Partial: it works with problems worth fixing
  • Fail: something critical is broken
The verdict comes with a report of severity-ranked findings, each backed by screenshots, plus suggested fixes.

Auto-fix chaining

A fail does not have to land on your desk as a bug list. The findings can chain straight into an automated fix run: the Fullstack Builder receives a targeted fix task generated from the QA report (delegate_to_develop_fix), applies the fixes in the sandbox, and you can run QA again to confirm. The loop is test, fix, retest, without you triaging bug reports in between.

How you steer it

  • Run it from the chat whenever you want. QA is on demand; you do not have to wait for a stage boundary.
  • Keep the PRD’s critical flows honest. They are what QA drives, so if a flow matters, make sure it is in the spec.
  • Decide what a partial means for you. Severity-ranked findings let you choose between chaining an auto-fix, cherry-picking what matters, or shipping anyway.
A QA pass immediately before deploying is cheap insurance: the Deploy Agent verifies that the build compiles, but QA is what verifies that the product behaves.

What happens next

When the verdict is good enough, ship it. Continue to Deploy.
