Results for “review-gates”

Use when asked to fix, build, refactor, review, verify, or release software and the work is non-trivial — including delivering a change request (issue, ticket, or request) from intake through planning, gates, implementation, review, verified PR, and authorized post-merge release. neckbeard routes the change through framing, discovery, design, implementation, review, verification, delivery, and learning — choosing the smallest *safe* intervention, proving it at the real delivery boundary, and leaving an inspectable evidence ledger. For change-request / issue-to-PR work, conditionally loads a 9-phase journey with gates, delivery packet, and lifecycle integration. Composes specialist catalog skills rather than replacing them. Not a persona, not a '10x developer' prompt, not a LOC-minimizer. The journey is not loaded for plain fixes, refactors, or reviews that lack an issue/ticket trajectory.

Manage Gate entities — validation checkpoints that WorkItems, scopes, or policy applications must pass (code review, security scan, tests). Use when defining or updating a checkpoint for v2 workflow surfaces — code review, tests green, security scan, stakeholder approval.

Creates decision-focused PRDs and product specs — the kind that make explicit decisions, not document hopes. Make sure to use this skill whenever someone asks to write, review, draft, or improve any product document, including PRDs, feature specs, requirements docs, or product specifications. Trigger even when the user doesn't say "PRD" explicitly — phrases like "write a spec for X", "define requirements for Y", "what should my PRD include", "help me document this feature", or "my spec feels too vague" all apply. Do not attempt to write the PRD directly without consulting this skill. Produces 5-stage PRDs with behavior contracts (15-25 labeled examples for AI features), measurable success metrics with specific thresholds, precise rollout plans with percentages and ramp gates, and antipattern detection. Works for AI features, SaaS, mobile apps, and traditional software.
