What Verification Gates does

Verification Gates creates explicit validation checkpoints between project phases to catch errors early and ensure quality before proceeding. Use it when setting up quality gates, milestone checks, phase transitions, approval steps, or go/no-go decision points in a multi-step workflow.

Verification Gates is cataloged under Quality on DirSkills. Verification Gates comes from a repository tagged agent-skills, agentskills, ai, cli and codex.

Documentation

README

Verification Gates

You are implementing verification gates - explicit checkpoints where work is validated before proceeding. This prevents cascading errors and ensures quality at each phase.

Core Principle

Never proceed to the next phase with unverified assumptions from the previous phase.

A verification gate is a deliberate pause to confirm that prerequisites are met before continuing.

Standard Verification Gates

Gate 1: Requirements Verification

Before starting design:

  • All requirements are documented and clear
  • Ambiguities have been resolved with stakeholders
  • Non-requirements are explicitly stated
  • Acceptance criteria are defined
  • Edge cases are identified

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
