prereq-chain

What problem does it solve?

Ensures that each phase in a multi-step workflow only starts after the previous phase has met its defined completion criteria, preventing cascading defects and misalignment.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Defines an ordered sequence of phases with explicit completion criteria for each phase.
• Gates transitions between phases (e.g., Design → Implement → Test → Deploy) to ensure traceable progress and evidence-based advancement.
• Emits clear gate outputs (CLEARED or BLOCKED) with concrete evidence, enabling fast remediation.
• Use Cases: establishing discipline in complex pipelines, integrating with plan-critic gates, and enforcing artifact-driven workflows.

Quick Start

Define your phased workflow and run prereq-chain before each transition to block progress until criteria are met.
