UAT is where engineering output meets business reality. Treat it as a formal gate.

Skill for This Post: uat-signoff

Create .ai/skills/uat-signoff/SKILL.md:

---
name: uat-signoff
description: Prepare and execute UAT with stakeholder-focused scenarios, outcomes, and release signoff status.

# UAT Signoff
 
## Inputs
- QA report
- release candidate build details
- business acceptance criteria
 
## Process
- Translate technical behavior into business scenarios
- Run scenario walkthroughs with stakeholders
- Capture pass/fail plus comments per scenario
- Document unresolved issues and business impact
 
## Required Output
1) UAT scenario matrix
2) stakeholder feedback summary
3) signoff status: approved | conditional | rejected
4) required actions before deployment

Prompt Pattern

Run uat-signoff for this release candidate.
Use business language, not implementation jargon.
Return signoff status and required actions before deploy.

Why This Skill Matters

  • Prevents "technically done but not user-ready" releases
  • Makes stakeholder expectations explicit
  • Provides a clear go/no-go input for deployment
