Does this skill execute the actual code tests?

No, it is a coordinator. It invokes sub-skills like ln-521 (researcher), ln-522 (manual tester), and ln-523 (auto-planner) to perform the technical work.

What are the prerequisites for running this skill?

Implementation tasks for the story should be marked as 'Done', and initial regression and code quality checks should have already passed.

How does it handle existing test results?

The skill includes skip detection logic that searches for existing research or manual testing headers in your project management tool to avoid repeating work.

What is the primary role of the ln-520-test-planner?

It acts as an orchestrator that manages a three-stage testing pipeline (research, manual, and auto-test planning) by delegating specific tasks to specialized worker skills.

Security & Testing

Orchestrates the complete test planning pipeline by coordinating research, manual verification, and automated test creation.

The ln-520-test-planner is a high-level orchestration skill designed to automate the testing phase of the software delivery lifecycle. It acts as a specialized project manager for quality assurance, sequentially delegating tasks to sub-agents for test research, manual script execution, and automated test planning. By ensuring that every feature story undergoes rigorous verification—including risk-based research and manual acceptance criteria validation—it provides a standardized, fail-fast mechanism that ensures high-quality code delivery while maintaining a clear audit trail in tools like Linear.

Key Features

01Automated delegation to specialized workers via context-isolated sub-agents

02Smart skip detection to avoid redundant work if phases are already completed

03Fail-fast logic that halts the pipeline if manual testing criteria are not met

04Seamless integration with Linear for task tracking and status reporting

05147 GitHub stars

06End-to-end orchestration of research, manual, and automated test phases

Use Cases

01Finalizing the testing phase for a completed feature story before release

02Automating the transition from manual verification to technical test implementation tasks

03Standardizing QA workflows across a development team to ensure consistent testing depth
