quality-gates

Quality gates establish automated checkpoints at pre-implementation, implementation, testing, and review stages to verify requirements, architecture, types, dependencies, security, and test coverage. This Skill provides a 4-stage framework with a `validate.py` script that runs all checks automatically, catching TypeScript errors, security vulnerabilities, and coverage gaps before code merges.

The Skill enforces TypeScript strict mode, explicit types on all functions, input validation with Zod, comprehensive error handling, and security best practices. The automated validation script aggregates these checks to ensure your code meets all standards before deployment.

Yes. Run the `validate.py` script before committing to automatically verify TypeScript compilation, security compliance, test coverage, and all quality gate requirements. This eliminates manual checks and prevents code rejections due to unmet standards.

At the testing gate, verify comprehensive test coverage, document test results, ensure error scenarios are covered, and confirm all tests pass. The Skill guides you through testing requirements and how to validate coverage meets quality standards.

Systematic quality gates at every development stage catch bugs, security issues, and architectural problems early. By automating compliance checks and enforcing standards for types, validation, error handling, and testing, the Skill reduces costly rework and production failures.

The Skill's validation standards center on TypeScript strict mode, explicit typing, and Zod validation. While the framework applies across development stages, the specific checks and `validate.py` script are optimized for TypeScript-based projects.
