SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Teams need a fast, honest verdict on whether a code change is ready to ship, without wading through long findings lists or trusting a green CI badge that never exercised the changed behavior. ## Core Features & Use Cases - A-F Lane Grading: Scores correctness, security and permissions, data and state, domain truth, UX and release behavior, tests and verification, and deploy readiness, then combines them into one overall grade. - Instant-F Triggers and Grade Caps: Automatically fails changes with hardcoded secrets, injection, auth bypass, payment flaws, or destructive migrations, and caps grades on auth, payment, migration, and public-API surfaces without specific evidence. - Ship Gate Verdict: Maps the overall grade to a ship, ship-with-caveats, or hold recommendation with required upgrades named for any grade below B. - Use Case: Before merging a pull request that touches a payment webhook, ask for a grade; the skill checks Instant-F triggers, verifies webhook signature handling and error paths, applies the payment-surface cap, and returns a letter grade with the exact fixes needed to raise it. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to use suede-code-grader on the current diff or pull request and return the overall grade, required upgrades, and ship gate verdict.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get a letter grade for a pull request before merging?

Ask the agent to grade the diff or branch with this skill. It inspects the changed files, runs the repo's existing typecheck, lint, test, and build commands, scores seven lanes A-F, and returns an overall grade with a ship, ship-with-caveats, or hold verdict.

What is the difference between a code grade and a code review?

A grade gives a single A-F ship verdict with evidence and required upgrades, while a review produces detailed findings and fix briefs. For findings use suede-code-review; for findings plus a grade use suede-code.

Can a change with passing CI still get a low grade?

Yes. CI that never exercised the changed behavior does not raise a grade. Auth, payment, migration, and public-API changes are capped at C or D without specific evidence like bypass-path tests, error-path coverage, or a tested rollback plan.

What causes an automatic F grade?

Instant-F triggers include hardcoded secrets in committed source, SQL or shell injection from user input, bypassable auth middleware, payment webhooks without signature verification, destructive migrations without rollback, and plaintext storage of passwords or PII.

Does the grade block merging or shipping?

No. Every gate is advisory: the skill reports the verdict as a recommendation and never blocks the requested action. Only extreme-risk findings like data loss or credential exposure pause for the user's explicit choice.
