What problem does it solve?
OPL stage quality gates often contain unclear rubrics, insufficient evidence requirements, unstated evaluator authority limits, or missing owner routing details, which can lead to incorrect stage readiness verdicts, stalled project progress, and unclear accountability for complex knowledge work projects like research papers, grant proposals, and patent packages.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Rubric Gap Detection: Identifies missing observable criteria, unclear evidence lower bounds, and unstated route-back triggers in stage quality gate proposals.
- Overclaim Identification: Flags language that incorrectly assigns authority to evaluators or gates to issue owner receipts, typed blockers, quality verdicts, or readiness declarations.
- Owner Route Validation: Checks that gate proposals include clear owner routing, required missing proof, and next legal action steps for route-backs.
Use Case: For teams building OPL Stagecraft workflows for long-running research or grant projects, use this skill to review proposed quality gates before implementation to avoid invalid readiness claims and ensure clear accountability chains.
Quick Start
Use the opl-stage-quality-gate-critic skill to review the proposed quality gate for the literature review stage of the grant proposal project and list any rubric gaps, evaluator overclaims, or missing owner route details.
