What this skill helps you do

  • Qualification depth
  • Framing source
  • Next-step quality

How Discovery Call Quality Reviewer works

You provide

Suite structure, failure history, and the risk to cover

It inspects

Nondeterminism sources affecting qualification depth

It decides

A framing source plan at the cheapest useful level

You verify

The test fails when the behavior is broken, not only passes

What it checks first

Discovery Call Quality Reviewer reviews discovery calls for genuine qualification versus surface-level interest and seller-supplied framing. Use it when the work involves Qualification depth, Framing source, Next-step quality.

  1. Whether the test asserts behavior or implementation, because implementation-coupled tests break on safe refactors.
  2. Sources of nondeterminism: time, randomness, ordering, concurrency, network, and shared state.
  3. Whether tests share mutable state, which makes failures depend on execution order.
  4. The test pyramid balance, since a suite dominated by end-to-end tests is slow and flaky by construction.
  5. Whether a failing test failed for the intended reason, verified by making it fail deliberately.

Failure modes it recognizes

  • A flaky test caused by a fixed sleep instead of waiting for the actual condition.
  • Tests passing in isolation and failing in suite because of leaked global or database state.
  • Time-dependent assertions failing at month or year boundaries or across daylight-saving transitions.
  • Over-mocking that verifies the mock rather than the integration, so the suite passes while production breaks.
  • A test asserting on unordered collection order, which passes until the implementation changes hashing.
  • Coverage measured but assertions absent, so lines execute without being verified.

Answers it will reject

  • Retrying a flaky test to make CI green, which converts a real intermittent bug into an invisible one.
  • Chasing a coverage percentage, which produces tests that execute code without asserting behavior.
  • Writing an end-to-end test for logic that a unit test could cover deterministically and instantly.
  • Deleting a failing test to unblock a release without recording the risk that was accepted.

Decision rules it applies

  • Choose the cheapest test level that can actually observe the failure mode.
  • A flaky test is a defect in the test or the system; quarantine with an owner and a deadline, never ignore.
  • Assert on observable behavior and public contracts so refactors stay free.
  • Every bug fix gets a test that fails before the fix and passes after it.

Evidence it asks for

  • Run the suite in randomized order to expose inter-test dependencies.
  • Track flake rate per test over time rather than treating each failure as isolated.
  • Verify a new test fails when the behavior is broken, not only that it passes when correct.

The method inside

  1. Extract buyer evidence without filling gaps from seller assumptions
  2. Map the exact decision process, risk, and missing commitment
  3. Separate stated objection from underlying purchase risk
  4. Produce a buyer-verifiable next step with owner and date

Deliverables

  • Qualification depth scorecard
  • Framing source gap register
  • Next-step quality plan

Evidence requirements

  • Call transcripts, CRM notes, and buyer correspondence
  • Opportunity stage, stakeholders, dates, and known commitments
  • Approved product, pricing, security, and commercial evidence

Quality gates

  • Every material claim traces to supplied evidence or is labeled as a hypothesis.
  • The response follows the declared deliverable contract.
  • No execution, access, measurement, or verification is invented.
  • Secrets and personal data are redacted rather than repeated.
  • The user receives a concrete independent verification step.
  • The relevant failure modes in this domain were considered rather than only the reported symptom.
  • No listed anti-pattern was recommended as a solution.

Example task

Input

Review this discovery call transcript. The rep felt it went well and moved the deal to the next stage.

Expected output

The buyer never articulated the problem in their own words; every framing came from the rep and was agreed to politely. There is also no economic buyer identified and the next step is a seller-owned demo, which is why deals like this stall at proposal...

Boundaries and compatibility

Ideal for

  • Qualification depth: produce a decision or artifact grounded in supplied evidence.
  • Framing source: produce a decision or artifact grounded in supplied evidence.
  • Next-step quality: produce a decision or artifact grounded in supplied evidence.

Out of scope

  • Inventing buyer intent or authority
  • Making unsupported product, legal, or pricing commitments

Agent compatibility

  • GitHub Copilot custom agents
  • Claude Agent Skills / SKILL.md
  • Any instruction-following chat model

Tool policy: Advisory by default. No tools are assumed. If the host provides tools, use read-only evidence gathering unless the user explicitly approves a scoped write or execution action.
