What this solves

AI agents are powerful — but they don’t know 8D from PDCA, can’t apply the AIAG-VDA Action Priority table, and generate generic NCR text that no auditor would accept.

Quality-Engineering-Skills packages decades of hands-on quality engineering expertise — automotive supplier quality, claims management, 8D, FMEA, PPAP, and ISO 9001 auditing — into structured skills your AI agent can load and apply immediately.

Every skill maps to specific standard clauses. Every agent validates methodology, not just format.

8 Agents

Drop these into any project and your AI becomes a trained quality professional.

/8d-coach

Guides you through a full 8D — D0 emergency response to D8 team recognition. Validates root cause depth (rejects “human error” without systemic analysis), verifies containment before moving to D4, and checks D7 prevention updates.

/8d-coach
> D0: Is this a safety or regulatory issue? [Y/N]
> D1: List team members by function (minimum: quality, production, engineering)
> D2: Describe the defect — What? Where? When? How many? ...

/fmea-reviewer

Audits an existing PFMEA or DFMEA against AIAG-VDA 2019. Returns a structured gap report: missing failure modes, incorrect AP ratings, unaddressed H-AP items, missing special characteristics.

/rca-facilitator

Runs a structured 5-Why with chain validation. Challenges each answer with evidence requirements. Detects symptomatic vs. systemic root causes. Catches circular reasoning. Produces a validated, reversible Why chain.

/ncr-writer

Takes bullet-point observations and generates professional NCR text: objective evidence language, severity classification (Critical/Major/Minor), and disposition recommendation. No more “part looks wrong.”

/audit-guide

Interactive internal audit for ISO 9001 or IATF 16949. Works clause by clause, scores findings (Major/Minor/OFI), generates a structured audit report with evidence references.

/ppap-checker

Interactive PPAP completeness checker — walks through all 18 PPAP elements for the requested submission level, flags missing or incomplete items, and generates a gap report before PSW signature.

/control-plan-builder

Builds a Control Plan row by row from PFMEA failure modes and process flow steps. Validates reaction plans, sample plans, and special characteristic coverage. Supports D7 update mode after corrective actions.

/skill-auditor

Automated audit and scoring of SKILL.md and REFERENCE files against framework standards.

Framework mapping

Every SKILL.md carries metadata linking it to the standards it implements.

metadata:
  iso-9001: "10.2"
  iatf-16949: "10.2.3"

Contributing

Quality engineering is global. If you have domain expertise to add:

• Aerospace: AS9100, AS13100, RCCA
• Medical devices: ISO 13485, FDA 21 CFR Part 820
• Food safety: HACCP, ISO 22000, FSSC 22000
• Statistics: AQL sampling plans, attribute SPC
• Automotive: OEM customer-specific requirements (Ford CSR, BMW, VW QMSS)

See CONTRIBUTING.md for the skill format and submission process.

Standards and trademarks

These skills describe how quality methodologies work and cite the clause or step each one corresponds to. They do not reproduce the standards themselves — no rating criteria tables, question catalogues, forms or worksheets are copied from any manual. Where a value is defined only by the authoritative document, the skill tells the agent to consult your licensed copy rather than guess.

The MIT licence covers this repository’s original content only. It does not extend to any ISO, IATF, AIAG or VDA publication, and owning the rights to use a standard remains your responsibility.

Using these skills does not make anything compliant with a standard and does not substitute for audit or certification by an accredited body.
