Gate Miss To Issue

Gate-Miss-to-Issue

A gate's failure is invisible to the gates downstream of it — they judge the product, not which earlier step should have caught the defect. This skill captures that gap as a development-skills issue.

Do

• Propose which gate should have caught it — skill + step, or no existing gate if none owns the class. This is a hypothesis the issue confirms or redirects, not a blame verdict.
• State the blind spot as a general class, not the one token that slipped.
• File the proposal as an issue against ultimatile/development-skills, via file-issue, with the four points below.
• On recurrence of a class that already has an open issue, comment on it instead of filing a duplicate.

Don't

• Don't edit the gate's SKILL.md inline. File an issue; the fix is deliberated async so the work-repo PR that surfaced the miss is not blocked.
• Don't file for a one-off execution lapse the gate already covers — only for a generalizable procedure gap.
• Don't propose a code change here.
• Don't recurse: this skill has no gate of its own to postmortem.

Issue content

Hand file-issue these four points:

• Gate (proposed) — the skill + step you argue should have caught it, or none yet; the gate-owner confirms or redirects.
• Miss — the defect, and where it was finally caught; link the work-repo PR / issue for provenance.
• Blind spot — the generalizable procedure gap.
• Proposed improvement — a concrete procedure change (a new sweep, a tightened definition, an added probe class). A proposal; the fix is settled in the issue.
