SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Phase gating is a structured decision process that determines whether a project is ready to move to the next development stage, reducing risk and misalignment.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Prescriptive gate verdicts: PASS / CONCERNS / FAIL with blockers and required artifacts.
  • Multi-stage workflow support: Concept through Release with explicit stage transitions and optional auto-detection.
  • Collaborative director-panel workflow: surface risks and actionable next steps through cross-functional input.

Quick Start

Provide a target phase and optional review mode to run the gate.

Frequently Asked Questions about gate-check

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate phase gate checks for software development readiness?

A phase gate check evaluates required artifacts and quality criteria to issue a PASS, CONCERNS, or FAIL verdict for project stage transitions. It enforces artifact presence, cross-GDD reviews, and director-panel feedback to reduce risk and misalignment.

How does artifact verification work during a project phase transition?

Artifact verification enforces the presence of required deliverables and quality checks before allowing a phase transition. It validates documents, cross-GDD reviews, and ADR management to issue a PASS, CONCERNS, or FAIL verdict.

Can I use a phase gate process for multi-stage workflows from Concept to Release?

Yes, phase gating supports multi-stage workflows with explicit stage transitions from Concept through Release. It applies prescriptive verdicts with blockers and required artifacts, utilizing auto-detection and user confirmation for sequential stage advancement.

What is the best way to surface risks and actionable next steps during a design review?

Using a collaborative director-panel workflow surfaces risks and actionable next steps by gathering cross-functional input. This approach identifies blockers and guides project readiness through structured feedback during the gating process.

How do I run a gate check on a specific development phase?

Provide a target phase and an optional review mode to run a gate check. The system evaluates required artifacts, ADR management, and director-panel feedback to issue a prescriptive PASS, CONCERNS, or FAIL verdict for that stage.

Why does my project phase gate return a CONCERNS or FAIL verdict instead of PASS?

A phase gate returns a CONCERNS or FAIL verdict when required artifacts are missing or quality checks are unmet. The verdict identifies specific blockers and missing artifacts that must be resolved before transitioning to the next stage.
