apply-qa-fixes
Implement fixes based on QA results (gate and assessments) for a specific story. This task is for the Dev agent to systematically consume QA outputs and apply code/test changes while only updating allowed sections in the story file.
Purpose
- Read QA outputs for a story (gate YAML + assessment markdowns)
- Create a prioritized, deterministic fix plan
- Apply code and test changes to close gaps and address issues
- Update only the allowed story sections for the Dev agent
Inputs
required:
- story_id: '{epic}.{story}' # e.g., "2.2"
- qa_root: from `.bmad-core/core-config.yaml` key `qa.qaLocation` (e.g., `docs/project/qa`)
- story_root: from `.bmad-core/core-config.yaml` key `devStoryLocation` (e.g., `docs/project/stories`)
optional:
- story_title: '{title}' # derive from story H1 if missing
- story_slug: '{slug}' # derive from title (lowercase, hyphenated) if missing
QA Sources to Read
- Gate (YAML):
{qa_root}/gates/{epic}.{story}-*.yml- If multiple, use the most recent by modified time
- Assessments (Markdown):
- Test Design:
{qa_root}/assessments/{epic}.{story}-test-design-*.md - Traceability:
{qa_root}/assessments/{epic}.{story}-trace-*.md - Risk Profile:
{qa_root}/assessments/{epic}.{story}-risk-*.md - NFR Assessment:
{qa_root}/assessments/{epic}.{story}-nfr-*.md
- Test Design:
Prerequisites
- Repository builds and tests run locally (Deno 2)
- Lint and test commands available:
deno lintdeno test -A
Process (Do not skip steps)
0) Load Core Config & Locate Story
- Read
.bmad-core/core-config.yamland resolveqa_rootandstory_root - Locate story file in
{story_root}/{epic}.{story}.*.md- HALT if missing and ask for correct story id/path
1) Collect QA Findings
- Parse the latest gate YAML:
gate(PASS|CONCERNS|FAIL|WAIVED)top_issues[]withid,severity,finding,suggested_actionnfr_validation.*.statusand notestracecoverage summary/gapstest_design.coverage_gaps[]risk_summary.recommendations.must_fix[](if present)
- Read any present assessment markdowns and extract explicit gaps/recommendations
2) Build Deterministic Fix Plan (Priority Order)
Apply in order, highest priority first:
- High severity items in
top_issues(security/perf/reliability/maintainability) - NFR statuses: all FAIL must be fixed → then CONCERNS
- Test Design
coverage_gaps(prioritize P0 scenarios if specified) - Trace uncovered requirements (AC-level)
- Risk
must_fixrecommendations - Medium severity issues, then low
Guidance:
- Prefer tests closing coverage gaps before/with code changes
- Keep changes minimal and targeted; follow project architecture and TS/Deno rules
3) Apply Changes
- Implement code fixes per plan
- Add missing tests to close coverage gaps (unit first; integration where required by AC)
- Keep imports centralized via
deps.ts(seedocs/project/typescript-rules.md) - Follow DI boundaries in
src/core/di.tsand existing patterns
4) Validate
- Run
deno lintand fix issues - Run
deno test -Auntil all tests pass - Iterate until clean
5) Update Story (Allowed Sections ONLY)
CRITICAL: Dev agent is ONLY authorized to update these sections of the story file. Do not modify any other sections (e.g., QA Results, Story, Acceptance Criteria, Dev Notes, Testing):
- Tasks / Subtasks Checkboxes (mark any fix subtask you added as done)
- Dev Agent Record →
- Agent Model Used (if changed)
- Debug Log References (commands/results, e.g., lint/tests)
- Completion Notes List (what changed, why, how)
- File List (all added/modified/deleted files)
- Change Log (new dated entry describing applied fixes)
- Status (see Rule below)
Status Rule:
- If gate was PASS and all identified gaps are closed → set
Status: Ready for Done - Otherwise → set
Status: Ready for Reviewand notify QA to re-run the review
6) Do NOT Edit Gate Files
- Dev does not modify gate YAML. If fixes address issues, request QA to re-run
review-storyto update the gate
Blocking Conditions
- Missing
.bmad-core/core-config.yaml - Story file not found for
story_id - No QA artifacts found (neither gate nor assessments)
- HALT and request QA to generate at least a gate file (or proceed only with clear developer-provided fix list)
Completion Checklist
- deno lint: 0 problems
- deno test -A: all tests pass
- All high severity
top_issuesaddressed - NFR FAIL → resolved; CONCERNS minimized or documented
- Coverage gaps closed or explicitly documented with rationale
- Story updated (allowed sections only) including File List and Change Log
- Status set according to Status Rule
Example: Story 2.2
Given gate docs/project/qa/gates/2.2-*.yml shows
coverage_gaps: Back action behavior untested (AC2)coverage_gaps: Centralized dependencies enforcement untested (AC4)
Fix plan:
- Add a test ensuring the Toolkit Menu "Back" action returns to Main Menu
- Add a static test verifying imports for service/view go through
deps.ts - Re-run lint/tests and update Dev Agent Record + File List accordingly
Key Principles
- Deterministic, risk-first prioritization
- Minimal, maintainable changes
- Tests validate behavior and close gaps
- Strict adherence to allowed story update areas
- Gate ownership remains with QA; Dev signals readiness via Status
