Verification Gates

Category: Security  ·  Sub-category: security-misc  ·  Last updated:
type:review
Creates explicit validation checkpoints (verification gates) between project phases to catch errors early and ensure quality before proceeding. Use when the user asks about quality gates, milestone checks, phase transitions, approval steps, go/no-go decision points, or preventing cascading errors across a multi-step workflow. Produces acceptance criteria checklists, automated CI gate configurations, manual sign-off requirements, and conditional review rules for scenarios such as security changes, API changes, or database migrations.

From the source SKILL.md
