Quality Gate

When To Use

• Running quality checks on egregore work items
• Self-review before creating a PR
• Reviewing another agent's PR in PR-review mode

When NOT To Use

• Manual code reviews outside egregore pipeline
• One-off lint or format checks (use make lint directly)

Orchestrate the QUALITY stage of egregore's pipeline. Each quality step runs convention checks from the codex and invokes mapped skills.

Routing Table

Step	Conventions	Skills	Modes
code-review	C1,C2,C3,C4,C5	pensive:unified-review	self, pr
unbloat	-	conserve:unbloat	self
code-refinement	-	pensive:code-refinement	self
update-tests	-	sanctum:update-tests	self
update-docs	C5	sanctum:update-docs, scribe:slop-detector	self

Inputs

The orchestrator invokes this skill with:

• step: which quality step to run (e.g. "code-review")
• mode: "self-review" or "pr-review"
• work_item_id: the manifest work item ID
• branch: the git branch with changes
• pr_number: (PR-review mode only) the PR number

Self-Review Workflow

When mode is "self-review":

1. Get changed files: git diff --name-only main...HEAD
2. Load conventions from conventions/codex.yml
3. Filter conventions to those mapped to the current step
4. Run convention checks via conventions.py
5. Invoke mapped skills on the changed files
6. Collect all findings
7. Calculate verdict

Auto-Fix Loop

If blocking findings exist:

1. Attempt to fix each finding (skill-dependent)
2. Commit fixes to the work item branch
3. Re-run convention checks
4. If still blocking after 3 attempts, verdict is "fix-required"
