What problem does it solve? Teams often lack visibility into whether their pre-commit hooks, pre-push checks, and CI/CD pipelines actually enforce the quality gates they assume are in place. This Skill statically audits a repository against an opinionated baseline of quality gates and reports each gate as present, partial, missing, or violating its intended enforcement. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Lifecycle-stage gate audit: Evaluates pre-commit gates (hook runner, staged-file formatter/linter, type check, commitlint, secret scan), pre-push gates (full type check, lint, unit tests, build smoke), and CI gates (workflow presence, E2E tests, coverage thresholds, bundle-size budgets, accessibility, vulnerability and license scans, Lighthouse CI). - Two-phase read-only workflow: Writes findings.md, findings.json, snapshot.md, and metadata.json to .architect-audits/quality-gates-audit/, then optionally generates an implementation plan with exact install commands and config snippets — never modifying the project itself. - Non-Node fallback mode: When package.json is absent, switches to documentation-or-skill-repository mode and audits repository-native gates such as validator scripts, Git hooks, and CI workflows. - Use Case: Before a release, run the audit to discover that your pre-push hook never runs unit tests and your CI lacks a dependency vulnerability scan, then generate an ordered implementation plan to close those gaps. ## Quick Start Run /quality-gates-audit in the repository root to audit all quality gates and receive a Top 5 recommendations summary plus a full report on disk.
