Its SKILL.md is about 460 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Product & Project Management, covering User stories. The repository describes itself as: 33 engineering discipline skills for Claude Code, OpenAI Codex & Gemini CLI + a CLI for CI/CD enforcement. Extracted from real-world multi-agent system development. Born from… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve User stories
Example prompts
- “Use the vibe-acceptance-gate skill to validate completed work against defined acceptance criteria”
- “/vibe-acceptance-gate”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Find the criteria — Look in
- Validate each criterion — For each one
- Report results
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8f1d71b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Vibe Acceptance Gate loads about 462 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 193 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

vibe-acceptance-gate
Don't claim "done" until you've checked against the criteria that define "done."
When to Use This Skill
- After completing a task that has acceptance criteria
- Before marking an issue/ticket as resolved
- When the user asks "is this done?"
- After implementing a spec with defined requirements
When NOT to Use This Skill
- Exploratory work with no defined criteria
- Research tasks (use
vibe-reflect-and-compoundinstead) - When criteria haven't been defined yet (define them first)
Steps
Find the criteria — Look in:
- Issue/ticket description (MUST/SHOULD requirements)
- Spec document (acceptance criteria section)
- Task description (success conditions)
- User's original request (implicit criteria)
Validate each criterion — For each one:
- Run the relevant test, command, or check
- Record PASS (met), FAIL (not met), or PARTIAL (partially met)
- Capture evidence (test output, code reference)
Report results:
| # | Criterion | Status | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | [criterion text] | PASS/FAIL/PARTIAL | [evidence] |
- Gate decision:
- All PASS → Task complete
- Any FAIL on MUST criteria → Task NOT complete, list remaining work
- PARTIAL only → Report what's missing, ask user if acceptable
Output Format
Acceptance Gate: [Task Name]
Result: PASS / FAIL / PARTIAL Criteria Met: X/Y (Z%)
| # | Criterion | Status | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | ... | ✓/✗/◐ | ... |
Remaining Work (if FAIL)
- [What needs to be done]
