QUALITY.md – open format/specification, agent skill, and CLI

In plain words

QUALITY.md is an open format and specification that helps developers build holistic quality evaluation processes for their projects. It functions as an agent skill and command-line tool designed for loop engineering and AI-assisted development workflows. The tool aims to shift quality practices from reactive review and repair toward proactive care, enabling teams to systematically assess and maintain project quality throughout development cycles.

From the sources

QUALITY.md: an open format to help humans and agents maintain and continuously improve the quality of the systems they ship, operate, and maintain by making easier to attend to, align on, and care for what matters most. QUALITY.md is an open format with a quality model in the YAML frontmatter: the quality characteristics (security, accessibility, test quality, etc.) and their quality requirements (docs, guides, sensors, etc) and the context for why these matter in the markdown body.

Model your project's quality so teams and agents can evaluate it, stay aligned on what good means, and improve it over time.

Engineer loops to improve project quality, aligning your team and agents on what quality means for what matters most. QUALITY.md is an open file format for declaring a project quality model: a holistic rubric of the desired quality characteristics (security, maintainability, code quality, test/spec quality, etc.), their quality requirements (guides, sensors, principles, standards, rules, specs), and the context (mission/purpose, user/stakeholder needs, risks, etc.) for why they matter.

  Feels a bit like Figma, but for coding agents. Instead of going back and forth with prompts, you give the agent a DESIGN.md that defines the design system up front, and it generally sticks to it when generating UI. Google Stitch seems to be moving in this direction as a standard, so we put together a small collection of DESIGN.md files based on popular web sites.

  CodeLeash: framework for quality agent development, NOT an orchestratorFeb 2026 · codeleash.dev · ▲12

  Hi HN, I built my first project using an LLM in mid-2024. I've been excited ever since. But of course, at some point it all turns into a mess. You see, software is an intricate interwoven collection of tiny details. Good software gets many details right; and does not regress as it gains functionality. My bootstrapped startup, ApprovIQ (https://approviq.com) is trying to break into a mature market with multiple fully featured competitors. I need to get the details right: MVP quality won't sell. So I opted for Test-Driven Development, the classic red/green/refactor. Writing…

  I replaced a $120k bowling center system with $1,600 in ESP32s▲2,935

  I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

  Bento - An entire PowerPoint in one HTML file (edit+view+data+collab)▲1,033

  Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

  Getting GLM 5.2 running on my slow computer▲937

  A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…

  OpenSEO▲928

  Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…
