Quick Reference

Test Investigation Eligibility

Check if staged files qualify for investigation-only QA skip per ADR-034.

Trigger Phrases

• "Check if I can skip QA"
• "Am I eligible for investigation-only?"
• "Verify investigation session eligibility"
• "Can I use SKIPPED: investigation-only?"

Usage

Copypwsh .claude/skills/session/scripts/Test-InvestigationEligibility.ps1

Output

Returns JSON with:

Exit Codes

Note: The script always exits 0. Check the Eligible field in the JSON output to determine eligibility. The Error field is present when git commands fail.

Error Handling

Example Outputs

Eligible (investigation-only files):

Copy{
  "Eligible": true,
  "StagedFiles": [".agents/sessions/2025-01-01-session-01.md"],
  "Violations": [],
  "AllowedPaths": [
    ".agents/sessions/",
    ".agents/analysis/",
    ".agents/retrospective/",
    ".serena/memories/",
    ".agents/security/"
  ]
}

Not eligible (contains code files):

Copy{
  "Eligible": false,
  "StagedFiles": [
    ".agents/sessions/2025-01-01-session-01.md",
    "scripts/MyScript.ps1"
  ],
  "Violations": ["scripts/MyScript.ps1"],
  "AllowedPaths": [
    ".agents/sessions/",
    ".agents/analysis/",
    ".agents/retrospective/",
    ".serena/memories/",
    ".agents/security/"
  ]
}

Git error:

Copy{
  "Eligible": false,
  "StagedFiles": [],
  "Violations": [],
  "AllowedPaths": [
    ".agents/sessions/",
    ".agents/analysis/",
    ".agents/retrospective/",
    ".serena/memories/",
    ".agents/security/"
  ],
  "Error": "Not in a git repository or git command failed"
}

Agent Workflow Integration

SESSION-PROTOCOL.md Relationship

This skill implements the verification step for Phase 2.5: QA Validation of the Session End Protocol:

CopySESSION-PROTOCOL.md (Phase 2.5: QA Validation)
                │
                ├── Feature implementation → MUST invoke qa agent
                │
                └── Investigation session → MAY skip QA
                        │
                        └── Test-InvestigationEligibility.ps1
                                │
                                ├── Eligible: true → Use "SKIPPED: investigation-only"
                                │
                                └── Eligible: false → MUST invoke qa agent

Workflow: Before Committing Investigation Work

Copy1. Stage your files
   │
   └── git add .agents/sessions/... .serena/memories/...

2. Run eligibility check
   │
   └── pwsh .claude/skills/session/scripts/Test-InvestigationEligibility.ps1

3. Check output
   │
   ├── Eligible: true
   │   └── Safe to commit with "SKIPPED: investigation-only"
   │
   └── Eligible: false
       │
       ├── Check Violations array
       │   └── Either: Remove violating files from staging
       │   └── Or: Start new session for implementation work
       │
       └── Invoke qa agent for the implementation work

Integration with Session End Checklist

Use this skill to validate the QA skip condition:

Copy### Session End (COMPLETE ALL before closing)

| Req | Step | Status | Evidence |
|-----|------|--------|----------|
| MUST | Route to qa agent (feature implementation) | [x] | `SKIPPED: investigation-only` - Verified via Test-InvestigationEligibility.ps1 |

---

Allowed Paths (Investigation Allowlist)

These paths qualify for investigation-only QA exemption:

Important: This allowlist is defined by ADR-034 (Investigation Session QA Exemption). The patterns in Test-InvestigationEligibility.ps1 are validated by Pester tests to ensure they match the ADR specification.

Verification Checklist

After using this skill:

• Skill output shows Eligible: true
• No Violations in output
• No Error field in output
• Session log evidence updated with skill output
