test-gate

What problem does it solve?

This skill standardizes and enforces repository verification gates to prevent tasks and sessions from being marked as verified or approved without appropriate executed test evidence, ensuring consistent, auditable gate decisions across sessions.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Gate Depth Determination: Decide whether smoke, task-level, integration, full-verify, or extended checks are required based on task type and repository policy.
• Evidence Validation: Compare planned versus executed test commands, assess execution results and report quality, and detect missing or contradictory evidence.
• Artifact Updates & Approval Impact: Record explicit gate outcomes into session summaries and current task artifacts and surface approval guidance (passed, failed, pending, not_evaluable) for reviewers.
• Use Case: Apply when ending a coding session, evaluating a feature or bugfix for verified status, or enforcing core/shared code verification before approval.

Quick Start

Use the test-gate skill to evaluate executed verification commands, classify the gate outcome, and update the session summary and current task record accordingly.
