SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The approve gate prevents premature commits by reading critic findings and emitting a single APPROVED or DENIED verdict before any GitHub-side state exists, ensuring decisions are made on local artifacts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Gate the spec before commitment by evaluating critique findings and enforcing a clear go/no-go decision.
  • Emit a single STATUS line and route the workflow to the next node only after an APPROVED verdict.
  • Support an optional human override in non-auto mode for borderline findings.

Quick Start

Run the approve gate on a critiqued spec to determine APPROVED or DENIED before any GitHub state is created.

How do I gate a spec before committing to prevent premature commits?

To gate a spec before committing, this Skill reads critique findings and emits a single APPROVED or DENIED verdict, preventing premature commits before any GitHub-side state exists.

What is an automated approval gate in a local workflow?

How do I enforce an auto-gate decision without human override?

You can enforce auto-gate behavior by using the --auto flag, which bypasses the optional interactive human override and strictly enforces the automated go/no-go decision based on critic findings.

Can I manually override a denied workflow verdict for borderline findings?

Yes, in non-auto mode, you can use an optional interactive human override to manually approve borderline findings, allowing flexibility when the automated decision logic is uncertain.

When do I need an automated decision gate in my workflow?

You need an automated decision gate when a plan or PRD has been critiqued and requires a formal go/no-go decision before any GitHub-side state is created, ensuring decisions are made on local artifacts.
