gate-check
gate-check automates the verification step in the change governance process by selecting the correct approval gate based on affected layers, running its entry criteria and error checks, and populating the approval form for human sign-off. It verifies but never approves—all signature and decision fields remain blank for the designated approvers.
gate-check runs approval gate checks against a change to an SDD artifact and prepares the approval form for human sign-off.

Use it when
- gate-check compares SDD artifact changes against the gate error catalog to detect blocking issues before approval.
- gate-check determines which layers a change affects, then uses that layer information to select the matching approval gate (such as GATE-01.

What does gate-check do to prepare a CHG approval form?
gate-check automates the verification step in change governance by selecting the correct approval gate based on affected layers, running entry criteria and error checks against the gate error catalog, and populating the approval form for human sign-off. It verifies but never approves—all signature and decision fields remain blank for designated approvers.
How does gate-check verify SDD artifact changes against the error catalog?
gate-check compares SDD artifact changes against the gate error catalog to detect blocking issues before approval. It validates framework spec changes via GATE-SPEC and generates a gate pass/fail report with error codes, ensuring all artifacts meet entry criteria for their assigned gate.
How does gate-check select the correct approval gate based on affected layers?
gate-check determines which layers a change affects, then uses that layer information to select the matching approval gate (such as GATE-01, GATE-03, or GATE-06). Once the correct gate is identified, gate-check runs all its entry criteria and error checks automatically.
Can gate-check validate change entry criteria and blocking errors?
Yes. gate-check verifies change entry criteria and identifies blocking errors from the gate error catalog. It generates a gate pass/fail report with error codes so approvers can see exactly what passed and what failed before they sign off on the GATE_APPROVAL_FORM.
What is gate-check's role in the CHG approval process?
gate-check is a CHG approval gate runner that automates verification for the change governance workflow. It runs the correct gates for cascading changes, validates all gate checks, and prepares the approval form—but it never makes approval decisions. Human approvers retain full authority over all signature and decision fields.
Does gate-check make final approval decisions on changes?
No. gate-check verifies and validates changes but never approves them. All signature and decision fields in the GATE_APPROVAL_FORM remain blank for the designated approvers to complete. gate-check's role is purely verification and form preparation.

gate-check
Purpose
Run the correct CHG approval gate for a change to an existing SDD artifact:
determine the affected layers, select the matching gate, run that gate's
checks against the gate error catalog, produce a pass/fail gate report, and
prepare the GATE_APPROVAL_FORM for the approver. It is the verification
companion to the ../doc-chg/SKILL.md family, which authors the CHG record.
CRITICAL — authority boundary: this skill prepares and verifies; it is never the approving authority. It records check results and fills the approval form, but a human grants approval by signing per the change level's

doc-validator enforces consistency rules across your entire SDD documentation corpus—catching broken links, orphaned artifacts, cumulative-tag gaps, duplicate IDs, and traceability gaps across all 8 layers. It runs declarative checks against your corpus structure and can optionally repair safely-fixable issues like missing reciprocal links or stale metadata. Use it before releases or after batch generation to ensure your documentation chain stays machine-verifiable and traceable.
doc-adr captures a single architectural decision using the Context-Decision-Consequences pattern, positioned as Layer 5 in the specification-driven development flow. It records the rationale, chosen approach, evaluated alternatives, and accepted trade-offs for decisions that bridge container and component design.
Quality-advisor gives live feedback while you create or review SDD documents, catching completion gaps, documentation anti-patterns, tag compliance, and naming issues before submission. It scores sections, detects common problems like missing traceability or broken links, validates cumulative tagging across layers, and returns actionable recommendations to fix issues.
doc-adr-fixer consumes audit reports and patches ADRs to resolve structural, referential, and content issues identified during quality review. It supports both team-mode validation (with multi-lens dispatch) and single-pass remediation, backing up originals and reverting regressions to prevent silent failures.
