SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill allows for the safe and deterministic evaluation of changes to Gait policies, ensuring that allow or block behaviors are correctly implemented before full rollout.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Deterministic Policy Testing: Run tests against specific policy files and intent fixtures to get predictable outcomes.
  • Rollout Simulation: Simulate the impact of policy changes across different stages (observe, require_approval, enforce).
  • Reason Code Analysis: Inspect reason_codes and violations to understand policy verdicts.
  • Use Case: Before deploying a new, stricter policy for user access, use this Skill to test it against a set of representative user intents to ensure it doesn't block legitimate actions and to plan a phased rollout.

Quick Start

Use the gait-policy-test-rollout skill to test the policy file 'policy.yaml' against the fixture 'intent.json'.

Frequently Asked Questions about gait-policy-test-rollout

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I test Gait policy changes before deploying them?▼

Test Gait policy changes by evaluating policy files against intent fixtures using deterministic tests. This validates allow and block behaviors, checks reason codes, and outputs verdicts to ensure safe rollouts.

What is a deterministic policy rollout simulation?▼

A deterministic policy rollout simulation evaluates Gait policy changes against fixture inputs to predict outcomes across stages like observe, require_approval, and enforce. It outputs verdicts and simulation recommendations for safe deployment.

How do I check reason codes and violations in a Gait policy evaluation?▼

Check reason codes and violations by running a Gait policy test against specified policy and intent fixture inputs. The evaluation outputs verdicts that inspect these fields to understand policy decisions.

Do I need the Gait CLI to run policy fixture tests and gate evaluations?▼

Yes, you need the Gait CLI to execute policy tests and gate evaluations against specified policy and intent fixture inputs. The CLI processes the fixtures and outputs the resulting verdicts.

How do I plan a phased enforce-by-stage rollout for a new access policy?▼

Plan a phased rollout by simulating the impact of Gait policy changes across observe, require_approval, and enforce stages. The simulation recommends deployment steps based on fixture test verdicts.
