SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Gate-check validates readiness to advance between development phases by producing a formal verdict (PASS/CONCERNS/FAIL) with blockers and required artifacts. It answers user queries like "are we ready to move to X" or "pass the gate" and ensures artifacts are in place before progression.

Core Features & Use Cases

Prescriptive, multi-stage gate: Concept → Systems Design → Technical Setup → Pre-Production → Production → Polish → Release.
Checks for required artifacts and quality standards, surfaces blockers, and writes the next stage to production/stage.txt on success.
Includes an interactive auto-detection flow with optional review modes and director-panel coordination when necessary.

Quick Start

Run /gate-check with a target phase or auto-detect the current stage and confirm before running.

FAQPage Schema

How do I check if a project is ready to transition to the next development phase?▼

A quality gate validates development phase readiness by checking required artifacts and quality standards, producing a formal PASS/CONCERNS/FAIL verdict. It surfaces blockers and confirms all required project artifacts are in place before any stage progression occurs.

What is a quality gate in project management?▼

A quality gate in project management is a prescriptive stage control checkpoint that evaluates required artifacts before a phase transition. It spans seven development stages from Concept to Release and outputs a formal PASS, CONCERNS, or FAIL verdict to control stage progression.

How do I run a gate check with auto-detection for the current stage?▼

Run the gate check command with auto-detection to identify the current stage and confirm before executing artifact checks. It handles quality gates and optional director-panel collaboration, then writes the next stage to production upon successful approval.

What are the standard development phases evaluated during a stage control check?▼

The standard development phases evaluated during a stage control check span seven gates: Concept, Systems Design, Technical Setup, Pre-Production, Production, Polish, and Release. Each phase requires specific artifacts to pass the quality gate.

Can I use phase transition validation for collaborative director-panel assessments?▼

Yes, phase transition validation supports collaborative director-panel coordination when necessary. It includes interactive auto-detection flows with optional review modes to satisfy collaborative assessment requirements alongside standard artifact presence and quality checks.

What happens when a quality gate fails to identify required artifacts?▼

When a quality gate fails to identify required artifacts, it produces a formal FAIL verdict and surfaces the specific blockers preventing progression. The stage transition is halted until the missing deliverables are addressed and the gate check is re-evaluated.
