Quality Gate

Quality Gate

Orchestrate the QUALITY stage of egregore's pipeline. Each quality step runs convention checks from the codex and invokes mapped skills.

Routing Table

Inputs

The orchestrator invokes this skill with:

• step: which quality step to run (e.g. "code-review")
• mode: "self-review" or "pr-review"
• work_item_id: the manifest work item ID
• branch: the git branch with changes
• pr_number: (PR-review mode only) the PR number

Self-Review Workflow

When mode is "self-review":

1. Get changed files: git diff --name-only main...HEAD
2. Load conventions from conventions/codex.yml
3. Filter conventions to those mapped to the current step
4. Run convention checks via conventions.py
5. Invoke mapped skills on the changed files
6. Collect all findings
7. Calculate verdict

Auto-Fix Loop

If blocking findings exist:

1. Attempt to fix each finding (skill-dependent)
2. Commit fixes to the work item branch
3. Re-run convention checks
4. If still blocking after 3 attempts, verdict is "fix-required"

Verdict Calculation

if no findings:
    verdict = "pass"
elif all findings are severity "warning":
    verdict = "pass-with-warnings"
elif blocking findings remain after auto-fix:
    verdict = "fix-required"

Record verdict in manifest decisions:

{
  "step": "code-review",
  "chose": "pass-with-warnings",
  "why": "2 warnings (C4: noqa in hooks), 0 blocking"
}

PR-Review Workflow

When mode is "pr-review":

1. Fetch PR diff: gh pr diff <number> --name-only
2. Load conventions and filter to code-review step
3. Run convention checks on changed files
4. Invoke pensive:unified-review on the diff
5. Collect all findings

Posting Reviews

Map findings to GitHub review:

• No findings: gh api POST review with event "APPROVE"
• Warnings only: POST review with event "COMMENT", findings as inline comments
• Blocking findings: POST review with event "REQUEST_CHANGES", blocking findings as inline comments with "must fix" prefix

Comment format per finding:

[egregore:{convention_id}] {message}

Convention: {convention_name}
Severity: {severity}

Quality Config

Work items may have a quality_config field:

{
  "skip": ["unbloat"],
  "only": ["code-review", "update-docs"]
}

• skip: list of steps to skip (run all others)
• only: list of steps to run (skip all others)
• If both are set, only takes precedence
• If neither is set, all steps run (default)

Convention Filtering by Step

Not all conventions run on every step. The routing table above defines which conventions apply to which step. The quality gate filters the loaded codex accordingly before running checks.

Exit Criteria

• All applicable convention checks executed
• All mapped skills invoked
• Verdict calculated and recorded in manifest
• For PR-review: GitHub review posted
