What it does

Quality Gate is an agent skill from NoobyGains/godmode. Use when finishing tasks, shipping significant features, or before landing changes to ensure work meets standards through automated review

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `code-reviewer.md`).

It sits in Testing & QA, covering Quality gates. The repository describes itself as: The AI development framework that thinks before it builds. 36 composable skills for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and OpenCode. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Finishing tasks
  • Shipping significant features
  • Before landing changes to ensure work meets standards through automated review

Example prompts

  • “/quality-gate”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. The test suite passes on the current branch
  2. All changes are committed (no dirty working tree)
  3. You have determined BASE_SHA and HEAD_SHA
  4. You can articulate what was built and why
  5. You know the plan or specification to review against
  6. You have scoped the review correctly (single task vs. batch)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 441103a. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Quality Gate loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 411 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~38
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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.

Quality Gate

Dispatch the code-reviewer agent (agents/code-reviewer.md) to surface defects before they propagate.

Core principle: Inspect early, inspect often.

Prime Directive

NO LANDING WITHOUT REVIEW

No exceptions. No workarounds. No shortcuts.

The Entry Protocol

Before initiating a review, confirm:

  1. The test suite passes on the current branch
  2. All changes are committed (no dirty working tree)
  3. You have determined BASE_SHA and HEAD_SHA
  4. You can articulate what was built and why
  5. You know the plan or specification to review against
  6. You have scoped the review correctly (single task vs. batch)

If any condition is unmet, resolve it before requesting review.

When to Initiate

Required:

  • After each task in delegated-execution workflows
  • After completing a significant feature
  • Before landing on the trunk branch

Discretionary but recommended:

  • When stuck (an outside perspective often unblocks)
  • Before starting a large refactor (establish a baseline)
  • After resolving a tricky defect

How to Initiate

1. Capture the commit range:

bash
BASE_SHA=$(git rev-parse HEAD~1)  # or origin/main
HEAD_SHA=$(git rev-parse HEAD)

2. Launch a code-reviewer subagent:

Dispatch the code-reviewer agent (agents/code-reviewer.md) using the Agent tool. Fill in the template at code-reviewer.md.

Template placeholders:

  • {WHAT_WAS_IMPLEMENTED} — What was just built
  • {PLAN_OR_REQUIREMENTS} — What it should satisfy
  • {BASE_SHA} — Starting commit
  • {HEAD_SHA} — Ending commit
  • {DESCRIPTION} — Brief narrative

3. Respond to findings:

  • Resolve Critical findings immediately
  • Resolve Important findings before advancing
  • Log Minor findings for a future pass
  • Object with evidence if the reviewer is mistaken

Walkthrough

[Just completed Task 3: Add data validation layer]

You: Initiating quality gate before proceeding.

BASE_SHA=$(git log --oneline | grep "Task 2" | head -1 | awk '{print $1}')
HEAD_SHA=$(git rev-parse HEAD)

[Launch code-reviewer agent (agents/code-reviewer.md)]
  WHAT_WAS_IMPLEMENTED: Input validation and sanitization for all API endpoints
  PLAN_OR_REQUIREMENTS: Task 3 from docs/plans/api-hardening-plan.md
  BASE_SHA: c4e19a7
  HEAD_SHA: 8b2f305
  DESCRIPTION: Added validateRequest() and sanitizeInput() with 5 rule types

[Subagent returns]:
  Strengths: Comprehensive rule coverage, solid test assertions
  Issues:
    Important: Missing rate-limit header on validation error responses
    Minor: Hardcoded threshold (50) for payload size check
  Assessment: Ready to proceed after addressing Important item

You: [Fix rate-limit header]
[Continue to Task 4]

Cognitive Traps

RationalizationTruth
"It's a tiny change — no review needed"Small diffs cause large outages. Review everything.
"I tested it exhaustively"Testing and review catch fundamentally different classes of issues.
"Review will slow momentum"Fixing production incidents slows momentum far more.
"The reviewer won't follow this code"If a reviewer cannot follow it, neither will the next engineer.
"I'll batch review on the next PR"Quality debt compounds. Review now or pay compounded interest later.

Integration

godmode:delegated-execution:

  • Review after EACH delegated task
  • Surface defects before they cascade
  • Resolve before starting the next task

godmode:task-runner:

  • Review after each batch of tasks
  • Collect feedback, apply corrections, continue

Ad-Hoc Development:

  • Review before landing
  • Review when blocked

Guardrails

Prohibited:

  • Skipping review because "it's straightforward"
  • Ignoring Critical findings
  • Advancing with unresolved Important findings
  • Dismissing valid technical feedback without evidence
  • Landing changes with open Critical or Important items

Mandatory:

  • Review after every task in delegated-execution
  • Include BASE_SHA and HEAD_SHA in every review request
  • Respond to Critical findings immediately
  • Object with code or test evidence when disputing feedback
  • Request clarification when feedback is vague
