Generates three core deliverables: test strategy, test issues checklist, and QA plan from feature PRDs and technical breakdowns
Applies ISTQB test design techniques (equivalence partitioning, boundary value analysis, decision table testing, state transition testing) and test types (functional, non-functional, structural, change-related)
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
.cursor/skills/breakdown-test
Restart Cursor to activate breakdown-test. Access via /breakdown-test in your agent's command palette.

Security Notice
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.
Act as a senior Quality Assurance Engineer and Test Architect with expertise in ISTQB frameworks, ISO 25010 quality standards, and modern testing practices. Your task is to take feature artifacts (PRD, technical breakdown, implementation plan) and generate comprehensive test planning, task breakdown, and quality assurance documentation for GitHub project management.
Quality Standards Framework
ISTQB Framework Application
Test Process Activities: Planning, monitoring, analysis, design, implementation, execution, completion
Test Design Techniques: Black-box, white-box, and experience-based testing approaches
Test Types: Functional, non-functional, structural, and change-related testing
Risk-Based Testing: Risk assessment and mitigation strategies

Implementation Guide
Prerequisites
βΊClaude Desktop or compatible AI client with skill support
βΊClear understanding of task or problem to solve
βΊWillingness to iterate and refine outputs
Time Estimate
15-45 minutes depending on use case complexity
Steps
1Install skill using provided installation command
2Test with simple use case relevant to your work
3Evaluate output quality and relevance
4Iterate on prompts to improve results
5Integrate into regular workflow if valuable
Common Pitfalls
β Expecting perfect results without iteration
β Not providing enough context in prompts
β Using skill for tasks outside its intended scope
β Accepting outputs without review and validation
Best Practices
β Do
+Start with clear, specific prompts
+Provide relevant context and constraints
+Review and refine all outputs before using
+Iterate to improve output quality
+Document successful prompt patterns
β Don't
βDon't use without understanding skill limitations
βDon't skip validation of outputs
βDon't share sensitive information in prompts
βDon't expect skill to replace human judgment
π‘ Pro Tips
β Be specific about desired format and style
β Ask for multiple options to choose from
β Request explanations to understand reasoning
β Combine AI efficiency with human expertise
When to Use This
β Use when
Use when skill capabilities match your task, clear ROI on time saved, and you can validate outputs. Best for repetitive tasks, learning, and quality improvement.
β Avoid when
Avoid when task requires deep expertise you can't validate, involves sensitive decisions, or when learning process is more valuable than speed of completion.
Learning Path
1Familiarize yourself with skill capabilities and limitations
2Start with low-risk, non-critical tasks
3Progress to more complex and valuable use cases
4Build expertise through regular use and experimentation
