name	powershell-qa-gate
description	Final QA gate for PowerShell changes. Executes the full PoshQC format -> analyze -> test toolchain (with coverage where enforced), compares against a captured baseline, enforces zero-regression deltas, and produces the required reporting block before the agent declares the change complete.

PowerShell QA Gate

Canonical procedure for the Phase D final quality gate that every PowerShell change must pass before completion is reported.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

• powershell-typed-engineer is about to declare a change complete.
• An executor has finished applying a planned batch and must verify zero regressions against the baseline captured in Phase A.
• A reviewer needs to confirm the toolchain was actually run and produced a clean pass.

Required Inputs

Before invoking this gate, the agent must have:

• a baseline record produced in Phase A, containing PSScriptAnalyzer findings, Pester pass/fail status, and per-file coverage status for the in-scope files,
• the exact list of touched production and test files,
• a clean working tree (all planned edits committed to the working copy).

Toolchain Execution Sequence

Run the full toolchain in this exact order. If any step fails or modifies files, fix the issue and restart from step 1. Do not stop the loop until all steps complete without errors in a single pass.

1. mcp__drm-copilot__run_poshqc_format
2. mcp__drm-copilot__run_poshqc_analyze
3. mcp__drm-copilot__run_poshqc_test
4. Coverage check (when enforced by task/repo flow) — use the Pester coverage output from step 3 or the repo coverage task.

If the environment prevents running any tool, stop and report the change as unverified. Do not declare completion.
