SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines gate-tier code review by providing a deterministic pass/fail mechanism for code changes, reducing review time and regressions.

Core Features & Use Cases

Mechanical checks only: Validates types, lint results, and CI status to decide if a change can proceed.
Pre-merge gating: Integrates with PR workflows to quickly reject changes that fail gate checks.
Use Case: Useful in fast-moving repos where you want rapid feedback on whether a change is acceptable to merge without delving into deeper reviews.

Quick Start

Use the gate review skill to run the gate checks on the current PR as described in CORE.md.

FAQPage Schema

How do I automate pre-merge lint and type checks for a pull request?▼

Pre-merge lint and type checks are automated by running deterministic gate checks on pull requests to validate code changes before merging. The skill provides a binary pass or fail determination based on type correctness, lint results, and CI status.

What are mechanical gate checks in code review?▼

Mechanical gate checks in code review validate types, lint results, and CI status to provide a deterministic pass or fail decision. They focus strictly on automated validation rather than deeper, subjective code analysis.

How do I get fast feedback on whether a code change is acceptable to merge?▼

Fast merge feedback is achieved by applying gate-tier checks to commits or pushes, rapidly rejecting changes that fail type, lint, or CI validations without requiring a deeper code review.

Can I use gate checks to validate commits and pushes, or only pull requests?▼

Gate checks can validate commits and pushes in addition to pull requests. The skill applies deterministic mechanical checks across these different code change events to decide if changes can proceed.

What is the difference between gate-tier code review and a full code review?▼

Gate-tier code review focuses only on mechanical checks like type correctness, lint results, and CI status, providing a binary pass or fail outcome. A full code review includes deeper, subjective analysis of logic and architecture.

When should I avoid using automated gate checks for code review?▼

Automated gate checks should be avoided when you need deep architectural analysis or subjective logic validation, as they only perform mechanical checks for types, lint, and CI status to determine pass or fail.
