Use when assessing task complexity, before starting complex tasks, when stuck after multiple attempts, or reviewing code against best practices. Provides quality-gates scoring (1-5), escalation workflows, and pattern library management.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# 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.

---

## Overview

### Auto-Activate Triggers
- Receiving a new task assignment
- Starting a complex feature implementation
- Before allocating work in Squad mode
- When requirements seem unclear or incomplete
- After 3 failed attempts at the same task
- When blocked by dependencies

### Manual Activation
- User asks for complexity assessment
- Planning a multi-step project
- Before committing to a timeline

---

## Core Concepts

### Complexity Scoring (1-5 Scale)

| Level | Files | Lines | Time | Characteristics |
|-------|-------|-------|------|-----------------|
| 1 - Trivial | 1 | < 50 | < 30 min | No deps, no unknowns |
| 2 - Simple | 1-3 | 50-200 | 30 min - 2 hr | 0-1 deps, minimal unknowns |
| 3 - Moderate | 3-10 | 200-500 | 2-8 hr | 2-3 deps, some unknowns |
| 4 - Complex | 10-25 | 500-1500 | 8-24 hr | 4-6 deps, significant unknowns |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add yonatangross/orchestkit/quality-gates@sha256:2ce52e8886ffd5a6

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.3.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
