What Gate Check does

Gate Check freezes a drafted option set and sends it to an independent advisor for a genuine, collapsed, or malformed verdict. It then verifies the cited grounds against the substrate before the result is returned.

Gate Check is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Gate Check comes from a repository tagged ai-collaboration, claude-code, epistemology, metacognition and plugin.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

Gate Check

An option set is normally judged by whoever drafted it. That is the one judgment the drafter cannot make well: the options inherit the frame they were drafted from, so an option set standing on the wrong axis looks complete from inside. This skill puts an independent adjudicator on the option set itself — not on the work the gate is about — and then checks the adjudicator's reasoning against the substrate before either reaches you.

The check separates two things that usually collapse into one: who wrote the options and who says they are worth asking. Everything below exists to keep those apart, including from itself.
