SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents AI agents from acting without verified planning, unbroken hierarchy, and enforced domain boundaries, which are critical for successful app development.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Mandatory Planning Verification: Ensures that no implementation action is taken without first retrieving and verifying a plan.
  • Hierarchy Integrity Checks: Validates that the AI's current task is part of a clear and unbroken chain of trajectory, tactic, and action.
  • Domain Boundary Enforcement: Prevents AI from operating outside its designated development domains without explicit approval.
  • Context Recovery: Ensures state is re-verified after context compaction to prevent errors from stale memory.
  • Use Case: Before an AI agent starts writing code for a new feature, this Skill will trigger, forcing it to confirm that a trajectory and tactic are defined, a plan exists in memory, and the proposed code changes respect established domain boundaries.

Quick Start

Run the context-first-gatekeeping skill to verify the current development plan and hierarchy before proceeding with any implementation.

Frequently Asked Questions about context-first-gatekeeping

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce AI planning verification before code implementation?

AI planning verification requires checking that a trajectory, tactic, and action chain are fully defined before any implementation begins. This gatekeeping process retrieves and validates the development plan from memory to prevent AI agents from acting without verified context.

What causes AI agents to break domain boundaries during app development?

AI agents break domain boundaries when they operate outside designated development domains without explicit approval. This occurs due to unauthorized domain crossings and a lack of gatekeeping enforcement to verify hierarchical integrity before executing implementation actions.

How do I validate hierarchy integrity for AI-driven app development tasks?

Hierarchy integrity validation confirms that the current AI task is part of an unbroken chain of trajectory, tactic, and action. It requires successful retrieval of context, memory recall, anchor checks, and chain integrity validation before proceeding.

Why does my AI agent fail after context compaction during development?

AI agents fail after context compaction because stale memory leads to actions based on outdated state. Context recovery and state re-verification are required after compaction to ensure the development plan, hierarchy, and domain boundaries remain valid.

Do I need a defined trajectory and tactic before an AI agent writes code?

Yes, a defined trajectory and tactic are mandatory before an AI agent writes code. Gatekeeping protocols require confirming that these hierarchical elements exist in memory and that proposed code changes respect established domain boundaries before implementation.

What is context-first gatekeeping in AI app development?

Context-first gatekeeping is a protocol that enforces planning, hierarchy, and domain boundary verification before any AI implementation action. It prevents failures caused by acting without verified plans, broken hierarchical chains, and unauthorized domain crossings.
