SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a standardized framework for verifying the quality of work at each stage of an agent's workflow, preventing the progression of incomplete or erroneous tasks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured Verification: Defines specific, actionable criteria for each handoff point between agents (e.g., Planner to Coder, Coder to Reviewer).
  • Workflow Adaptability: Includes workflow-specific adjustments for bug fixes, refactoring, and chores, ensuring relevance across different task types.
  • Use Case: Before a Coder hands off code to a Reviewer, this Skill ensures all tests pass, the build is successful, and all planned items have been addressed according to the plan.

Quick Start

Consult the relevant gate section in this skill before handing off to the next agent.

FAQPage Schema
What are quality gates in AI-driven development workflows?

Quality gates are standardized verification criteria enforced during agent handoffs to prevent incomplete or erroneous tasks from progressing between planning, coding, reviewing, and committing stages.

How do I verify build and test status before an agent handoff?

You verify build and test status by consulting the relevant gate section before handoff, ensuring all tests pass, builds are successful, and planned items are addressed according to the workflow plan.

Can I adapt workflow verification for bug fixes and refactoring?

Yes, workflow verification includes specific adjustments for bug fixes, refactoring, and chores, ensuring the quality gate criteria remain relevant across different types of development tasks.

Does this quality gate framework require external CI/CD dependencies?

No, this quality gate framework operates without external dependencies, providing a standalone structured verification process for managing transitions between agents in AI-driven development.

What is the best way to enforce plan adherence between agents?

The best way to enforce plan adherence is applying structured quality gate criteria at each transition point, verifying that all planned items have been addressed before handing off to the next agent.

When do I need workflow verification for agent handoffs?

You need workflow verification when transitioning tasks between agents in AI-driven development, specifically to prevent the progression of incomplete work from planning to coding or coding to reviewing stages.
