kata-quality-gate

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents shipping incomplete or risky implementations by enforcing a final, evidence-based validation against acceptance criteria, scope, best practices, tests, coverage, types, and performance budgets.

Core Features & Use Cases

• AC ↔ Test traceability: Ensures every acceptance criterion has at least one covering test and that tests reference the right ACs.
• Scope creep detection: Flags modifications outside the declared component/file plan, with explicit exceptions for legitimate generated or implicit test artifacts.
• Quality enforcement checklist: Runs best-practice Lexis, verifies tests and coverage thresholds, checks types, and validates performance budgets when applicable.
• Single PR and stacked-layer support: Works for both single-PR flows and per-layer stacked PR workflows, including final aggregate validation to catch orphan ACs/components.

Quick Start

Run the kata-quality-gate flow for the current issue layer or PR to produce a quality report at .ahrena/issues/{n}/06-quality-report.md and update the checkpoint status accordingly.
