Quality Gateway
quality-gateway
Orchestrates quality checks at key lifecycle points: before edits, after edits, and before completion. Coordinates sub-skills (test-augmentation, doc-sync, coding-standards, security-review) to ensure consistent code quality. Use when making significant code changes or before completing a task.

Quality Gateway
Orchestrates quality checks at key lifecycle points in the development workflow. This skill coordinates sub-skills to ensure consistent code quality.
When to Use This Skill
- Before starting significant code changes (pre-edit baseline)
- After completing code changes (post-edit validation)
- Before marking a task as complete (final quality gate)
- When running the
/quality-checkcommand

Sub-Skills
The quality gateway orchestrates these sub-skills:
| Sub-Skill | Purpose | Skill Location |
|---|---|---|
test-augmentation | Validates test coverage | .claude/skills/test-augmentation/ |
doc-sync | Validates documentation | .claude/skills/doc-sync/ |
coding-standards | Enforces code style | .claude/skills/coding-standards/ |
security-review | Checks for vulnerabilities | .claude/skills/security-review/ |
Lifecycle Hooks
| Hook | When | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
pre-edit | Before changes | Capture baseline metrics |
post-edit | After changes | Validate changes meet standards |
on-stop | Before completion | Final quality gate |
IDE Integration
The quality gateway integrates with AI IDEs through hooks:
| IDE | Integration Method | Reference |
|---|---|---|
| Claude Code | Native hooks in settings.json | assets/claude-quality-hooks.md |
| Cursor IDE | Rules + Commands | assets/cursor-quality-integration.md |
For hook implementation patterns, see the agent-hooks skill in .claude/skills/agent-hooks/.
Quality Checks
Pre-Edit (Baseline)
Before making changes:
- Record current test coverage
- Note existing linting errors
- Capture documentation state
Post-Edit (Validation)
After making changes:
- Verify test coverage maintained or improved
- Check for new linting errors
- Validate documentation is in sync
On-Stop (Final Gate)
Before completing:
- Run full test suite
- Verify no regressions
- Check all quality thresholds met
Commands
| Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
/quality-check | Run full quality gate |
/add-tests | Generate missing tests |
/sync-docs | Update documentation |

Test Result Caching
Always save test output to .tmp/ instead of running tests multiple times:
# Run once and save
pnpm test 2>&1 | tee .tmp/pnpm-test-latest.txt
# Then grep from file (don't run tests again!)
grep "FAIL" .tmp/pnpm-test-latest.txt
tail -20 .tmp/pnpm-test-latest.txt
See references/test-result-caching.md for all tools.
