SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

gate-check prevents teams from advancing to the next development phase without the required design, technical, testing, and QA artifacts in place, reducing rework and late-stage surprises.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Phase-gated readiness verdict: Produces a PASS/CONCERNS/FAIL result for a specific transition (or auto-detected transition) with clear blockers and recommendations.
  • Artifact + quality validation: Checks required files have real content, validates cross-references (like design reviews and architecture traceability), and flags manual checks where verification isn’t possible.
  • Director Panel synthesis: In lean/full modes, coordinates parallel assessments from creative, technical, producer, and art directors via Task, then merges their readiness into the final recommendation.
  • Safe stage advancement workflow: On PASS, updates production/stage.txt only after the user explicitly approves.

Quick Start

Use the gate-check skill to validate readiness to advance to Production by running gate-check with target phase set to production.

Frequently Asked Questions about gate-check

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate phase gate readiness for a project transition?▼

Project phase gate validation checks required artifacts, quality evidence, and cross-references for a target transition, producing a PASS, CONCERNS, or FAIL recommendation with specific blockers and required evidence.

What is a go/no-go phase gate review in project management?▼

A go/no-go phase gate review is a prescriptive validation process that prevents teams from advancing development phases without required design, technical, testing, and QA artifacts in place, reducing rework and late-stage surprises.

Can I auto-detect the current development phase for readiness validation?▼

Yes, readiness validation supports auto-detection of the current development phase transition, or you can explicitly set a target phase to validate advancing from Concept through Release stages.

How do I coordinate a director panel assessment for architecture review?▼

In lean or full modes, readiness validation coordinates parallel assessments from creative, technical, producer, and art directors via Task, then merges their readiness inputs into the final go/no-go recommendation.

Does phase gate validation update production stage files automatically?▼

No, phase gate validation updates production/stage.txt only after the user explicitly approves the advancement, ensuring safe stage progression following a PASS verdict from the readiness check.
