Tune Gates

Quality Enforcement for Modern Repos

The tune-gates skill provides a streamlined, developer-centric workflow for establishing and refining repository quality gates. Traditionally, setting up rigid CI policies and verification loops requires manual configuration across multiple files. This skill automates that process by managing both CI quality gates (linting, testing, coverage) and advanced verification gates (review, source-of-truth syncing, and target parity) in a surgical, non-destructive way.

What it does

• CI Quality Policy: Defines the specific green checks required for merge and establishes the "CI-first" policy for local verification.
• Verification Gates: Configures review-gate for UI/artifact changes, source-sync for design-token/schema consistency, and parity-gate for multi-platform synchronization.
• Surgical Refinement: Operates in "Refine Mode" to add, drop, or tune specific gates in existing projects without clobbering hand-tuned configurations.
• Template-Driven Configuration: Automatically populates lifecycle templates and AGENTS.md sections based on your repo's specific architecture.

Why use this skill?

Prompting an AI to "set up gates" often results in generic, hallucinated CI configs or disconnected documentation. This skill is grounded in the Keelson framework, ensuring that every gate added has a corresponding implementation, a defined source of truth, and a clear trigger. It prevents the "blind spot" problem by enforcing pairs (like source-change and source-sync) that keep your implementation in lockstep with your designs.
