SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Delivering a skill, update, application, or file without a final check leads to real failures: incomplete deliveries (only part of the changed files handed over), lost work between sessions, eval schema drift, forgotten validations, and duplicate changelog versions. This gate runs a mandatory checklist before anything is handed to the user. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Orchestrated pre-delivery checklist: Invokes validation-mesh, safety-compliance-gate, evals verification, and skill_guard snapshot/validate without duplicating their logic. - Delivery completeness manifest: Enumerates all changed artifacts and blocks delivery until every one is included, preventing partial handoffs. - Anti-loss state protection: Requires a continuation-memory snapshot and long-term memory update before delivery to survive context compression or session interruption. - Use Case: Before handing a user an updated skill package, the gate verifies validation passes, evals exist in canonical schema (name+assertions+version), the changelog version was bumped, and the source folder with evals is delivered separately since the packager strips evals from .skill files. ## Quick Start Before giving me the finished skill update, run the full pre-delivery gate checklist and confirm every check passed.

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify a skill is ready before delivering it to a user?▼

Run the pre-delivery checklist: validation-mesh must return VALID, safety-compliance-gate must pass, evals must exist in canonical schema, skill_guard --validate must confirm no shrinkage, and the changelog version must be bumped. Only deliver after all checks pass.

How to prevent incomplete file delivery in AI-assisted workflows?▼

Use a delivery completeness manifest that lists every changed artifact and confirms each one is actually handed over, not just a selection. This catches cases where only part of a multi-file package is delivered.

Does the pre-delivery gate replace individual validation skills?▼

No, it orchestrates them rather than duplicating their logic. It calls validation-mesh, safety-compliance-gate, and continuation-memory, so their rules stay in one place and do not drift between versions.

Why do evals get lost when installing packaged skills?▼

The skill-store packager strips the evals/ directory from .skill files, so tests are lost at install time. The gate requires delivering the source folder with evals separately from the packaged artifact.

Can the gate technically block delivery in a chat session?▼

In chat it operates as a strict discipline rule the AI follows, not a code hook. In Claude Code, skill_guard hooks enforce it mechanically and actually block delivery until checks pass.
