Agent skill fromproduct-on-purpose/pm-skills
Documents edge cases, error states, boundary conditions, race conditions, and recovery paths for a feature - the systematic catalog of what can go wrong and the failure modes to design for. Use during specification to map the failure surface and ensure comprehensive coverage, or during QA planning to identify boundary and limit scenarios to test. Distinct from deliver-acceptance-criteria, which writes story-level Given/When/Then checks; this skill produces the whole-feature edge-case catalog.

1<!-- PM-Skills | https://github.com/product-on-purpose/pm-skills | Apache 2.0 -->2# Edge Cases34An edge cases document systematically catalogs the unusual, boundary, and error scenarios for a feature. While happy-path flows are typically well-specified, edge cases often get discovered in production - causing bugs, poor user experience, and support burden. Documenting edge cases upfront ensures engineering handles them intentionally and QA knows what to test.56## When to Use78- When you need to enumerate failure modes, race conditions, timeouts, and boundary or limit scenarios - everything that can go wrong - and define a recovery path for each9- During feature specification before engineering begins10- When preparing QA test plans11- After discovering production bugs to prevent similar issues12- When reviewing PRDs or user stories for completeness13- Before launch to ensure error states have been designed1415## When NOT to Use1617- You need story-scoped Given/When/Then checks for handoff -> use `deliver-acceptance-criteria`; this skill catalogs the whole feature's failure surface18- The feature is not specified enough to enumerate inputs, states, and limits -> use `deliver-prd` first19- A production incident already happened and you want the learning banked -> use `iterate-lessons-log`, then update this catalog with the new case20- You need readiness coordination for a launch, not failure analysis -> use `deliver-launch-checklist`2122## Instructions23…
