Gates - Quality Validation (v2.37)

Comprehensive quality validation across 9 programming languages with TLDR-assisted analysis.

Quick Start

/​gates              # Run all quality gates
ralph gates         # Via CLI
ralph gates src/    # Specific directory

Pre-Gates: TLDR Language Detection (v2.37)

AUTOMATIC - Detect project languages efficiently:

# Get codebase structure to detect languages (95% token savings)
tldr structure . > /​tmp/​project-structure.md

# From structure, identify:
# - Primary language(s)
# - Config files present
# - Test frameworks used

Supported Languages

Workflow

1. Detect Languages

# Auto-detect based on file extensions and config files

2. Run Linters

# Per-language linting
npx eslint src/          # TypeScript/​JavaScript
ruff check .             # Python
cargo clippy             # Rust
golangci-lint run        # Go

3. Check Formatting

npx prettier --check .   # JS/​TS
black --check .          # Python
rustfmt --check src/     # Rust
gofmt -l .               # Go

4. Type Checking

npx tsc --noEmit         # TypeScript
mypy .                   # Python
cargo check              # Rust
go vet ./​...             # Go

5. Run Tests

npm test                 # Node projects
pytest                   # Python
cargo test               # Rust
go test ./​...            # Go

Exit Codes

CodeMeaning
0All gates passed
1Lint errors
2Format errors
3Type errors
4Test failures

Gate Configuration

Minimal (fast)

ralph gates --minimal    # Lint only

Standard (default)

ralph gates              # Lint + Format + Types

Full (CI)

ralph gates --full       # Lint + Format + Types + Tests

Integration

  • Invoked by /​orchestrator in Step 6
  • Pre-step: tldr structure for language detection (v2.37)
  • Must pass before VERIFIED_DONE
  • Hooks: quality-gates.sh (PostToolUse)

TLDR Integration (v2.37)

PhaseTLDR CommandPurpose
Language detectiontldr structure .Identify languages
Error contexttldr context $FILE .Understand failing code
Impact analysistldr deps $FILE .Find related tests

Anti-Patterns

  • Never skip gates for "quick fixes"
  • Never ignore type errors
  • Never commit with lint warnings
