What it does
Spk Gate Accept is an agent skill from spec-kitty/spec-kitty. Run the Spec Kitty accept gate for a completed mission and verify final readiness before merge.
Its SKILL.md is about 220 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: Spec-Driven Development with organizational governance. Specs tell AI agents what to build; Charter governs how they build it. Git-native missions, enforceable workflows, and… The licence is MIT.
Example prompts
- “/spk-gate-accept”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Run /spec-kitty.accept or the equivalent CLI command.
- Confirm all required WPs are approved or done.
- Verify required tests, artifacts, and mission invariants. When the mission
- If accept fails, route to spk-run-blocked-recovery.
- If accept passes, route to spk-gate-merge.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4cabb90. 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
Spk Gate Accept loads about 220 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 28 tokens; SKILL.md has 108 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.

- description
- Run the Spec Kitty accept gate for a completed mission and verify final readiness before merge.
spk-gate-accept
Use this skill when runtime reaches terminal state, the user asks to accept a mission, or all WPs appear complete.
Flow
- Run
/spec-kitty.acceptor the equivalent CLI command. - Confirm all required WPs are approved or done.
- Verify required tests, artifacts, and mission invariants. When the mission changed typed sources, run the project's configured compiler/typecheck command, matching CI, in addition to the test runner. A failed compiler command fails the gate; passing behavioral tests are not a substitute.
- If accept fails, route to
spk-run-blocked-recovery. - If accept passes, route to
spk-gate-merge.
Rule
Accept is not a formality. It is the final pre-merge readiness gate.
