quality-validation SKILL.md skillA

quality-validation from komluk/scaffolding is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add komluk/scaffolding/quality-validation@git:20260921.7dfd510

Score ResearchPacks (>=80) and Implementation Plans (>=85) against quality gates. TRIGGER when: gating research or a plan before implementation. SKIP: writing or running tests (use testing-strategy); security threat review (use security-review-checklists); verifying finished work by executing it (use verification-before-completion).

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 Validation Skill

Systematic validation ensuring ResearchPacks and Implementation Plans meet quality standards before implementation.

## Auto-Invoke Triggers

- ResearchPack completion requires validation
- Implementation Plan requires validation before coding
- User requests quality check
- Proceeding to next workflow phase (quality gate)

## Quality Gates

### Gate 1: Research → Planning
- **Trigger**: ResearchPack completion
- **Pass**: Score ≥ 80
- **Fail**: Block, return defects

### Gate 2: Planning → Implementation
- **Trigger**: Implementation Plan completion
- **Pass**: Score ≥ 85 AND APIs match
- **Fail**: Block, return defects
- Note: the ≥ 85 plan gate / design review may run on the opus tier (architect/analyst on `model: opus`, `effort: high`) for higher rigor. See `docs/model-tiers.md`.

### Gate 3: Implementation → Completion
- **Trigger**: Code complete
- **Pass**: your project's validate/lint/test command passes (e.g. `npm run validate`, `pytest`, `make check`, `cargo test`)
- **Fail**: Trigger self-correction (max 3 attempts)

## ResearchPack Validation (100 pts, pass: 80)

### Completeness (40 pts)
- Library/API with version: 10 pts

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add komluk/scaffolding/quality-validation@sha256:ada4264a999f536f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260921.7dfd510, 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.
