Automated verification gates enforce checkpoints at each stage of development by validating your environment, baseline code, and changes before they're committed. This Skill establishes session gates and hard blocking gates using git and gh to prevent merges until atomic commits, code reviews, and size standards are met, ensuring production-ready code.

Hard blocking gates stop PR creation until mandatory conditions are satisfied: atomic commits, subagent review completion, and size compliance. This Skill automates those checkpoints across your entire session lifecycle, ensuring every change passes verification before it can merge.

Yes. This Skill applies to both user-driven and autonomous coding workflows, governing start-to-merge lifecycles with the same verification checkpoints. It ensures trusted outcomes regardless of whether changes are human-authored or generated by subagents.

Baseline validation verifies your repository and environment are in a known-good state before you make changes. Starting each session with this checkpoint ensures you're building on solid ground, catching environment misconfigurations or stale code early.

The Skill blocks PR creation and prevents merge until all gates pass: environment verification succeeds, baseline is green, changes are atomic, subagent review is complete, and commit size standards are met. This enforces discipline and prevents partial or untested work from progressing.
