ast-first-gate

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents premature or unreliable code analysis by mandating the construction and validation of an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) dependency graph before any code investigation begins.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Mandatory AST Graph: Ensures a detailed AST dependency graph is built and documented before any code analysis, impact assessment, or modification.
• Fail-Closed Behavior: Blocks work if the graph cannot be built, preventing analysis based on incomplete or unreliable data.
• Use Case: When asked to refactor a function, this Skill will first build the AST graph to understand all its dependencies and callers, ensuring the refactoring is safe and comprehensive.

Quick Start

Use the ast-first-gate skill to ensure the AST dependency graph is built before analyzing code.
