The quality gateway orchestrates these sub-skills:

| Sub-Skill | Purpose | Skill Location |

|-----------|---------|----------------|

| test-augmentation | Validates test coverage | .claude/skills/test-augmentation/ |

| doc-sync | Validates documentation | .claude/skills/doc-sync/ |

| coding-standards | Enforces code style | .claude/skills/coding-standards/ |

| security-review | Checks for vulnerabilities | .claude/skills/security-review/ |

| Hook | When | Purpose |

|------|------|---------|

| pre-edit | Before changes | Capture baseline metrics |

| post-edit | After changes | Validate changes meet standards |

| on-stop | Before completion | Final quality gate |

The quality gateway integrates with AI IDEs through hooks:

| IDE | Integration Method | Reference |

|-----|-------------------|-----------|

| Claude Code | Native hooks in settings.json | assets/claude-quality-hooks.md |

| Cursor IDE | Rules + Commands | assets/cursor-quality-integration.md |

For hook implementation patterns, see the agent-hooks skill in .claude/skills/agent-hooks/.

Pre-Edit (Baseline)

Before making changes:

1. Record current test coverage
2. Note existing linting errors
3. Capture documentation state

Post-Edit (Validation)

After making changes:

1. Verify test coverage maintained or improved
2. Check for new linting errors
3. Validate documentation is in sync

On-Stop (Final Gate)

Before completing:

1. Run full test suite
2. Verify no regressions
3. Check all quality thresholds met

| Command | Purpose |

|---------|---------|

| /quality-check | Run full quality gate |

| /add-tests | Generate missing tests |

| /sync-docs | Update documentation |

| Asset | Description |

|-------|-------------|

| assets/claude-quality-hooks.md | Claude Code hook configurations |

| assets/cursor-quality-integration.md | Cursor IDE integration guide |

| references/test-result-caching.md | How to save and reuse test results |

Always save test output to .tmp/ instead of running tests multiple times:

```bash

# Run once and save

pnpm test 2>&1 | tee .tmp/pnpm-test-latest.txt

# Then grep from file (don't run tests again!)

grep "FAIL" .tmp/pnpm-test-latest.txt

tail -20 .tmp/pnpm-test-latest.txt

```
