Review & Quality Gates

The checks that stand between “it compiles” and “it’s mergeable.”

Gates offered (combinable)

• Lint + typecheck gate — lint_cmd and typecheck_cmd must pass. Cheap, high-signal; advisory on edit and/or blocking on push.
• Pre-PR self-review — a checklist the agent runs against its own diff before opening a PR (scope, tests, naming, leftover debug code).
• Agent review gate — a reviewer subagent reviews the diff for correctness and convention adherence before merge.

How it’s wired

transcend wires the chosen gates into rules/quality-gates.md and, when an agent reviewer is chosen, generates a project-local reviewer subagent. At Tier 2, lint-on-edit.sh checks the touched file as you go; at Tier 3, push-gate.sh blocks pushes until lint and typecheck pass — see Enforcement Tiers.

Specialized catalog skills (e.g. UX audit) can attach themselves as extra review steps.
