SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents architectural drift and ensures that all component implementations adhere to the established behavior contracts and constitution versions before code is generated or applied.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Contract Validation: Automatically verifies that the current codebase matches the synchronized lint-green behavior contract.
  • Constitution Sync: Ensures the environment is aligned with the required project constitution before triggering the Spec Kit implementation.
  • Use Case: Use this gate during the development lifecycle to confirm that your local environment is ready for a new component implementation, preventing integration errors and ensuring compliance with project standards.

Quick Start

Run the pre-implement check script from the root of your repository to validate the current contract and constitution status.

Frequently Asked Questions about kimen-gates-pre-implement

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate behavior contracts before starting component implementation?▼

To validate behavior contracts before implementation, run a pre-implement gate script that verifies your codebase matches the synchronized lint-green contract and ensures constitution compliance, preventing architectural drift.

What is a pre-implementation gate and when do I need it in my development lifecycle?▼

A pre-implementation gate is an automated validation step used during the development lifecycle to confirm environment readiness and contract compliance before triggering Spec Kit implementation tasks, ensuring code generation aligns with project standards.

Do I need a specific repository layout to run constitution sync validation?▼

Yes, constitution sync validation requires a standard Kimen project layout including scripts/gates/ and .specify/ directories to perform the necessary environment readiness verification.

How can I prevent architectural drift when generating new code?▼

You can prevent architectural drift by running pre-implement contract validation that automatically verifies your current codebase matches established behavior contracts and constitution versions before any new code is applied.

What is the best way to check environment readiness before executing Spec Kit tasks?▼

The best way to check environment readiness is to run a pre-implement check script from your repository root to validate current contract and constitution status, ensuring compliance before triggering Spec Kit tasks.

Why does contract validation fail during pre-implementation checks?▼

Contract validation fails when your local environment is not aligned with the required project constitution or when the current codebase does not match the synchronized behavior contract, indicating potential integration errors.
