Can I proceed if a gate results in a CONDITIONAL status?

Yes, but a conditional status indicates minor gaps that usually require documented exceptions or workarounds before proceeding.

Where are the gate reports stored?

Reports are generated as markdown files within the .aiwg/gates/ directory for easy tracking and version control.

What milestones can this skill evaluate?

It evaluates four key milestones: Lifecycle Objective (LOM), Architecture Baseline (ABM), Initial Operational Capability (IOC), and Product Release (PRM).

Does it check for security vulnerabilities?

Yes, during the IOC gate, it checks that all security scans are clean and ensures no critical or high-priority vulnerabilities remain.

How does the multi-agent validation work?

The skill dispatches specialized validator agents (like security-architect or product-strategist) in parallel to review specific domain criteria.

Collaboration Tools

Validates software development lifecycle phase gates using multi-agent reviews and automated readiness reporting.

The gate-evaluation skill provides a rigorous, automated framework for managing SDLC transitions within an agentic coding environment. By orchestrating specialized validator agents, it assesses project artifacts against predefined exit criteria for key milestones such as Inception (LOM), Elaboration (ABM), Construction (IOC), and Transition (PRM). This ensures that architecture, security, and quality requirements are strictly met before moving to the next phase, reducing technical debt and project risk through structured governance and clear remediation guidance.

Key Features

01Risk retirement tracking and scoring against threshold requirements

Use Cases

01Automating the final security and compliance check before a production release

02Validating if a project is architecturally stable enough to transition from Elaboration to Construction

03Ensuring all required documentation and stakeholder agreements are in place during project inception
