Quality Gates

Pass Checklist

  • Gate 1: [Specific, measurable criterion]
  • Gate 2: [Specific, measurable criterion]
  • Gate 3: [Specific, measurable criterion]

Testability Check

  • Can this output be validated?
  • Does it reference IDs from SoT/?

How this is evaluated: This skill's output is scored by scripts/readiness.py (a deterministic, $0, no-LLM proxy). Clearing a gate is permission to advance, not the goal — the goal is evidence. Padding inputs to move the score without moving the evidence is a frozen-replay defect. See PRINCIPLES.md P7.

Anti-Patterns

PatternExampleFix
Bad pattern 1"Example"→ "Better approach"
Bad pattern 2"Example"→ "Better approach"
Evidence fabricationBack-filling confidence/evidence to clear a gate→ Cite a real source or mark the gap; never invent to pass (P4 anti-leakage, P7)
