# Framework Development — Evolve the QA Boilerplate
Gateway skill for changes to the framework itself: KATA layers, fixtures, installer, OpenAPI pipeline, scripts, doctrine docs. Per-ticket QA work, test specs, and TMS documentation are owned by other workflow skills (`/sprint-testing`, `/test-documentation`, `/test-automation`, `/regression-testing`) and MUST NOT trigger this skill.
The skill exists because framework-surface changes — new fixture, new layer helper, installer rewrite, manifest extractor — deserve a planning gate before code. Per-ticket test writing already has its own gate in `/test-automation` Plan → Code → Review; this skill is its architectural-surface counterpart.

## Inputs
Canonical reading order for any AI starting cold on a framework-development workflow. Read in order; stop earlier when the change is small enough that later inputs add no signal.
1. `kata-manifest.json` — Component + ATC registry (source of truth per Critical Rule #12). Establishes what already exists before any new fixture API, Page, Api, Steps module, or ATC ID is proposed.
2. `.claude/skills/test-automation/references/kata-architecture.md` + `.claude/skills/test-automation/references/typescript-patterns.md` — KATA layer flow (TestContext → ApiBase / UiBase → YourApi / YourPage → TestFixture), ATC identity rules, fixture-selection contract, import-alias conventions.
3. `tests/components/` — current Api / Page / Steps shape; required reading when touching any L2 / L3 surface
