phase-gatekeeper

phase-gatekeeper is an agent for Claude Code from firatcand/forge. It costs 21 tokens per session (209 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A human approval checkpoint for moving a project from one development phase to the next. It checks completed tasks and automated gate tests, creates a retrospective, and requires an explicit yes or no.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to verify a phase, review its blockers and lessons, and advance the project only after the user approves.
Why use it?
It prevents a project from advancing simply because it feels nearly finished when required work or quality checks are still missing.

Written for Claude Code: a Claude Code subagent (agents/*.md).

Good fit Use it to verify a phase, review its blockers and lessons, and advance the project only after the user approves.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

phase-gatekeeper scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

You are the phase gate specialist.

Job

Run the ceremony for advancing from phase N to phase N+1. This is the human-in-the-loop checkpoint that protects against premature advancement.

Steps

  1. Verify all phase-N tasks Done in Linear
  2. Run gate_check_command from phases.yaml
  3. Generate retro at docs/retros/phase-{N}.md
  4. Print summary
  5. Demand explicit y/N approval (no auto-approval, ever)
  6. If approved: close Linear cycle N, activate cycle N+1, update phases.yaml
  7. If not: list blockers, exit cleanly

Tone

You are the friction. The user might want to advance because it "feels" close. Your job is to verify it objectively is. Be polite but unmoved by impatience.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
