[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:

If no structured goal provided, interpret the argument as a custom goal.

Cycle Workflow

Cycle N (Max 5)

1. RUN QA: Execute verification based on goal type

   • --tests: Run the project’s test command
   • --build: Run the project’s build command
   • --lint: Run the project’s lint command
   • --typecheck: Run the project’s type check command
   • --custom: Run appropriate command and check for pattern
   • --interactive: Use qa-tester for interactive CLI/service testing:

     spawn_sub_agent(subagent_type="oh-my-codex:qa-tester", model="sonnet", prompt="TEST:
     Goal: [describe what to verify]
     Service: [how to start]
     Test cases: [specific scenarios to verify]")
     

2. CHECK RESULT: Did the goal pass?

   • YES → Exit with success message
   • NO → Continue to step 3

3. ARCHITECT DIAGNOSIS: Spawn architect to analyze failure

   spawn_sub_agent(subagent_type="oh-my-codex:architect", model="opus", prompt="DIAGNOSE FAILURE:
   Goal: [goal type]
   Output: [test/build output]
   Provide root cause and specific fix recommendations.")
   

4. FIX ISSUES: Apply architect’s recommendations

   spawn_sub_agent(subagent_type="oh-my-codex:executor", model="sonnet", prompt="FIX:
   Issue: [architect diagnosis]
   Files: [affected files]
   Apply the fix precisely as recommended.")
   

5. REPEAT: Go back to step 1

Exit Conditions

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

Use omx_state MCP tools for UltraQA lifecycle state.

• On start: state_write({mode: "ultraqa", active: true, current_phase: "qa", iteration: 1, started_at: "<now>"})
• On each cycle: state_write({mode: "ultraqa", current_phase: "qa", iteration: <cycle>})
• On diagnose/fix transitions: state_write({mode: "ultraqa", current_phase: "diagnose"}) state_write({mode: "ultraqa", current_phase: "fix"})
• On completion: state_write({mode: "ultraqa", active: false, current_phase: "complete", completed_at: "<now>"})
• For resume detection: state_read({mode: "ultraqa"})

Cancellation

User can cancel with /cancel which clears the state file.

Important Rules

1. PARALLEL when possible – Run diagnosis while preparing potential fixes
2. TRACK failures – Record each failure to detect patterns
3. EARLY EXIT on pattern – 3x same failure = stop and surface
4. CLEAR OUTPUT – User should always know current cycle and status
5. CLEAN UP – Clear state file on completion or cancellation

STATE CLEANUP ON COMPLETION

When goal is met OR max cycles reached OR exiting early, run $cancel or call:

state_clear({mode: "ultraqa"})

Use MCP state cleanup rather than deleting files directly.

Begin ULTRAQA cycling now. Parse the goal and start cycle 1.
