What it does

Vibe Doc Quality Gate is an agent skill from ash1794/vibe-engineering. Performs a fast 6-point quality check for technical documents (specs, design docs, READMEs). Use after editing any specification or design document.

Its SKILL.md is about 650 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 Testing & QA, covering Quality gates, Architecture decision records and Technical documentation. 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 Quality gates
  • Tasks that involve Architecture decision records
  • Tasks that involve Technical documentation

Example prompts

  • “Use the vibe-doc-quality-gate skill to perform a fast 6-point quality check for technical documents (specs, design docs, READMEs)”
  • “/vibe-doc-quality-gate”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Overview/Quick Start
  2. Structural Completeness
  3. Cross-Reference Integrity
  4. Test Coverage
  5. Command Accuracy
  6. Self-Sufficiency

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 Doc Quality Gate loads about 653 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 331 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~653

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-doc-quality-gate

A fast quality gate for technical documents. Not a deep review — just catches the obvious structural issues.

When to Use This Skill

  • After creating or editing a specification document
  • After writing a design doc or technical RFC
  • Before sharing a document for review
  • Periodic document health checks

When NOT to Use This Skill

  • For code review (use vibe-quality-loop or vibe-devil-advocate-review)
  • For informal notes or scratch documents
  • For README files that are just getting started

The 6 Checks

1. Overview/Quick Start

Does the document have an overview or quick-start section that explains what this is and why it matters in <5 paragraphs?

  • PASS: Overview exists with purpose and scope
  • FAIL: No overview, or jumps straight into details
2. Structural Completeness

Does the document reference concrete artifacts?

  • At least 3 file paths or API endpoints
  • At least 1 data structure or type definition
  • At least 1 error case or failure mode
  • At least 3 test cases or validation steps
  • PASS: All present | WARN: 2-3 present | FAIL: 0-1 present
3. Cross-Reference Integrity

Are references to other documents, APIs, or code valid?

  • Check that referenced files exist
  • Check that referenced types/functions exist
  • PASS: All references valid | FAIL: Broken references found
4. Test Coverage

Does the document specify how to verify the implementation?

  • At least 3 test cases for small docs
  • At least 10 for large docs
  • PASS: Adequate test coverage | WARN: Below threshold
5. Command Accuracy

Are commands, paths, and code snippets accurate?

  • Do file paths exist (or are marked "to be created")?
  • Do commands actually run?
  • PASS: All verified | FAIL: Broken commands/paths
6. Self-Sufficiency

Could someone implement this without asking questions?

  • Pick 3 random sections. Could you implement each without external context?
  • PASS: Yes | FAIL: Ambiguous or incomplete sections

Output Format

Document Quality Gate: [Document Name]

Overall: PASS / WARN / FAIL
