Quality Gates

Stops you from building the wrong thing by forcing a complexity check before you start coding. Blocks tasks with more than 3 unanswered questions, missing dependencies, or when you've failed the same approach 3 times. The YAGNI gate is interesting: it calculates a justified complexity ratio and blocks you if you're building something twice as complex as your project tier needs. Plugs into the context system to track attempts and gate status across sessions. The pattern library that learns from past mistakes is smart, though it needs a few projects before the confidence scores mean much. Heavy on process, but if you've ever spent a day implementing the wrong solution because requirements were fuzzy, you'll get why this exists.

Quality Gates

This skill teaches agents how to assess task complexity, enforce quality gates, and prevent wasted work on incomplete or poorly-defined tasks.

Key Principle: Stop and clarify before proceeding with incomplete information. Better to ask questions than to waste cycles on the wrong solution.
