context-co-update-ci-gate

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents documentation and context-map drift by enforcing that code changes touching important paths must also update the repo's context artifacts or explicitly declare that no context update is needed.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Important-path detection: Defines which source, schema, workflow, and agent-instruction paths require a matching context update.
• Co-update enforcement: Fails pull requests that change important paths without updating the context map or notes in the same PR.
• Declared no-op escape hatch: Allows a reviewable no-context-change-needed declaration, but never a silent bypass.
• Update protocol: Requires date and commit SHA stamps, evidence-backed status changes, and forbids deleting unresolved risk notes without proof.
• Pipeline handoff: Produces a gate design for installation by CI pipeline tooling or a human, rather than editing workflow files directly.

Quick Start

Ask for a CI gate design that fails any PR changing important paths unless the context map or notes are updated in the same PR, with a visible no-context-change-needed escape hatch and an evidence-based update protocol.
