[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:
| /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)
- RUN QA: Execute verification based on goal type
--tests: Run npm test or equivalent
-
--build: Runnpm run buildor equivalent -
--lint: Runnpm run lintor equivalent -
--typecheck: Runnpm run typecheckortsc --noEmit -
--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]")
- CHECK RESULT: Did the goal pass?
YES → Exit with success message
-
NO → Continue to step 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.")
- 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.")
- REPEAT: Go back to step 1
Exit Conditions
| 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
-
PARALLEL when possible - Run diagnosis while preparing potential fixes
-
TRACK failures - Record each failure to detect patterns
-
EARLY EXIT on pattern - 3x same failure = stop and surface
-
CLEAR OUTPUT - User should always know current cycle and status
-
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.
Begin ULTRAQA cycling now. Parse the goal and start cycle 1.
