SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the challenge of manually identifying and configuring reliable, deterministic verification gates for the tale-mode autonomous loop, preventing the AI from relying on fragile or non-terminating commands.

Core Features & Use Cases

Automated Inventory: Scans package.json, CI workflows, and build manifests to identify potential verification commands.
Hermetic Filtering: Automatically filters out non-terminating or non-hermetic commands like dev servers or network-dependent tasks.
Verification: Runs candidate commands to ensure they are green before suggesting them for the tale-mode configuration.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to seed the tale-mode gates for the current repository to generate a safe configuration file.

FAQPage Schema

How do I automate the creation of safe CI gates for an autonomous loop?▼

To automate safe CI gates, this skill scans package scripts and CI configurations to identify hermetic, terminating shell commands suitable for autonomous loop stability. It filters out non-terminating tasks like dev servers and verifies candidates by checking exit codes.

What is a hermetic verification gate and why do I need it for CI workflows?▼

A hermetic verification gate is a deterministic, terminating command that runs without external network dependencies. You need it to prevent autonomous loops from hanging on fragile tasks or non-terminating processes like local dev servers.

How do I configure tale-mode gate hooks from existing repository manifests?▼

You configure gate hooks by asking the assistant to seed gates for your repository. It automatically inventories your package.json and CI workflows, runs candidate commands to validate exit codes, and generates a safe configuration file.

Can I use package.json scripts directly as terminating commands for task integrity?▼

Yes, you can use package.json scripts, but the skill automatically filters them. It runs candidate commands to ensure they are hermetic and terminating before suggesting them for autonomous task integrity compatibility.

Why does my CI configuration verification fail during autonomous task execution?▼

CI configuration verification fails when commands are non-terminating or non-hermetic. This skill prevents failure by scanning manifests to filter out network-dependent tasks and validating that candidate commands return green exit codes.

Does seed-gates work with my existing CI workflows and build manifests?▼

Yes, seed-gates works with existing CI workflows and build manifests. It analyzes them to identify potential verification commands, automatically filtering out non-hermetic tasks to ensure loop stability for your autonomous configuration.
