validation-gates

What problem does it solve?

Centralizes and enforces pre-merge validation checks so that secrets, regressions, dependency risks, UI regressions, and scope creep are caught early in agent-driven orchestration workflows, reducing costly post-merge fixes and security incidents.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Secret Scanning: Hard-blocks tokens, keys, and connection strings found in diffs and requires rotation if leaks are discovered.
• Deterministic Checks & Regression Testing: Runs lint, test, and build for every affected project and full regression suites where needed.
• Blast Radius & Dependency Audits: Quantifies scope, escalates large or sensitive changes, and audits package changes for vulnerabilities, licenses, and size impact.
• Browser Testing, Cache Management, and Panel Reviews: Automates cache clearing, mandates Chrome screenshots for UI changes, and invokes panel review for high-stakes changes.
• Use Case: When an agent opens a delegation modifying frontend and backend code, use these gates to scan for secrets, run deterministic checks across affected projects, assess blast radius, perform dependency audits if lockfiles changed, capture browser screenshots for UI work, and either auto-accept or escalate to panel review.

Quick Start

Run the validation-gates skill to scan the current change set for secrets, run deterministic checks, perform blast radius and dependency audits, and produce a gate-by-gate pass/fail report.
