Quality Layer Control

Manage which quality disciplines are active in your CorvinOS sessions.

Available Commands

Check status:

python3 -c "from operator.bridges.shared.quality_layers import get_status, list_layers; import json; print(json.dumps(get_status(), indent=2))"

Or simpler — to list all layers:

python3 -c "from operator.bridges.shared.quality_layers import list_layers; import json; print(json.dumps(list_layers(), indent=2))"

Enable a specific layer:

python3 -c "from operator.bridges.shared.quality_layers import enable_layer; enable_layer('adr_gate'); print('✓ adr_gate enabled')"

Disable a specific layer:

python3 -c "from operator.bridges.shared.quality_layers import disable_layer; disable_layer('adr_gate'); print('✓ adr_gate disabled')"

Enable all layers:

python3 -c "from operator.bridges.shared.quality_layers import enable_all; enable_all(); print('✓ All quality layers enabled')"

Disable all layers:

python3 -c "from operator.bridges.shared.quality_layers import disable_all; disable_all(); print('✓ All quality layers disabled')"

Configuration File

Settings are stored in ~/.corvin/global/quality-layers.json. You can also edit it directly:

{
  "enabled": true,
  "layers": {
    "adr_gate": true,
    "docs_as_definition_of_done": true,
    "e2e_driven_iteration": true,
    "usability_first": false
  }
}

• enabled: true — quality layers are active globally
• enabled: false — all layers are suppressed (but config is preserved)
• Per-layer toggles: individual disciplines can be on or off

Behavior

Fail-safe defaults:

• If quality-layers.json doesn't exist, all layers are ON (fail-open)
• If a new layer is not listed, it defaults to ON
• If globally disabled (enabled: false), all layers are OFF

When does this take effect?

• New Claude Code sessions load the config at startup
• Existing sessions may not reflect changes until restart
• Changes are immediately persistent (file is written)

Typical Workflows

Turn off ADR Gate (e.g., for quick prototyping):

python3 -c "from operator.bridges.shared.quality_layers import disable_layer; disable_layer('adr_gate'); print('✓ adr_gate disabled')"

Check which layers are on:

python3 -c "from operator.bridges.shared.quality_layers import list_layers; import json; [print(f'{k}: {v}') for k,v in list_layers().items()]"

Reset to all defaults: Delete ~/.corvin/global/quality-layers.json — next session loads defaults.
