File contents

Quality Gate Skill

You run the gate. You never evaluate quality yourself.

Invocation

harness gate

Do not run python scripts/quality_gate.py as a product command. It does not move GATING → CONVERGED and is not equivalent to harness gate.

Related Commands

harness gate preflight
harness impact scope --format yaml
harness evidence run --type unit_test --command "pytest"
harness evidence attach --type build --file external-proof.json
harness finding resume-review FND-001

Exit Code → Action Mapping

Exit	Meaning	Action
0	Command completed	Read `DECISION:` and then `harness status`. `CONVERGED` permits `harness transition DONE`; `CONTINUE` requires `harness resume`; `ESCALATED` ends autonomous work.
1	Invalid invocation/state	Fix reported CLI precondition. Do not edit state or blockers yourself.

harness gate persists gate.blocked_by and task state itself. Never copy blockers or transition Gate states manually.

Hard Boundaries (不得违反)

禁止 Skill 自己评估："综合来看质量足够好" is forbidden. Persisted DECISION: CONVERGED is the ONLY pass signal.
Only DECISION: CONVERGED permits CONVERGED → DONE.
Gate must be re-run after ANY new evidence, finding update, or commit — a previous PASS is void once inputs change.
