SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Teams delegating implementation work to AI agents, external providers, or other engineers need an independent final review that does not trust implementer summaries or green CI alone. This Skill enforces a strict, provider-neutral audit of a fixed pull request head before any merge or release authority is exercised. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Provenance-Checked Audit: Records base/head SHAs, implementer identity, verifier identity, and reviewed artifacts, rejecting reviews where implementer and verifier identities collide. - Evidence-Based Verification: Reproduces every required command, records exit codes and outputs, and performs user-observable checks when behavior changes. - Bounded Correction Loop: Sends at most one evidence-based correction to a failing provider, then quarantines and decomposes the work instead of silently repairing it. - Use Case: After Jules or a local agent opens a PR and CI passes, run this review to verify the diff matches the approved scope, confirm no secrets or unrelated changes slipped in, and produce a durable pass/fail/blocked record for the human authority gate. ## Quick Start Use the GatekeeperReview skill to independently audit the current pull request against its approved specification and produce an evidence-backed decision record.

FAQPage Schema
How do I independently review an AI agent's pull request?▼

Fix the base and head SHAs, then audit the complete diff against the approved specification and contract. Reproduce every required verification command, record exit codes and evidence, and return a pass, fail, or blocked decision without merging.

What is a gatekeeper review in a CI/CD workflow?▼

A gatekeeper review is a final independent audit performed after CI passes but before merge authority. It verifies provenance, scope, and evidence rather than trusting implementer summaries, and returns the decision to a human authority gate.

Can the reviewer also be the implementer of the code?▼

No. The review requires an implementation identity distinct from the review identity. An implementer/verifier identity collision is grounds for rejection, since independent review cannot be claimed by the same actor.

What happens when a reviewed pull request fails the audit?▼

The reviewer may send at most one evidence-based correction to the provider when policy permits. After another failure, the work is quarantined and decomposed; the reviewer never silently repairs the implementation.

Does a passing review authorize merging or deployment?▼

No. A pass only means the stated contract is evidenced. The skill never merges, deploys, alters repository policy, or accesses production; the decision returns to the control plane and human authority gate.
