Verification gates that block the agent from proceeding until checks pass. The agent already knows what linting, testing, type checking, and security scanning are. This skill doesn't re-teach those concepts. Instead, it specifies:
These are the behaviors a coding agent wouldn't exhibit without being told. Everything else — which linter to use, how to structure a unit test — the agent already knows from training and discovers from the project's existing config.
Bundled resources: references/tool-building.md contains the diagnostic tool and notation catalogs with worked examples. references/language-defaults.md is a lookup table for tool selection by ecosystem. Read these when directed, not proactively.
Code quality verification gates wired into the agent lifecycle. Use this skill whenever writing, modifying, reviewing, or debugging code — including new features, bug fixes, refactors, troubleshooting, CI/CD setup, or project bootstrapping. Also use when the user mentions "quality", "testing strategy", "CI pipeline", "guardrails", "debugging", or asks how to improve code reliability. If you're writing code or trying to understand why code isn't working, this skill applies. Source: adewale/guardrails-skill.
