A command that records a quality-gate decision for a development story. A quality gate is a documented pass, concern, fail, or waiver checkpoint after review.

Use it to create or update the required gate file with the decision, reason, reviewer, date, and top issues.

It gives a team a consistent, standalone record of whether a story is ready and what issues remain.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00000	$0.01013
Opus 5.5	$0.00000	$0.00405
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00000	$0.00203
Haiku 4.5	$0.00000	$0.00101

Security

Grade A, and why

qa-gate 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to qa-gate — 4 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 168 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/qa-gate Task

When this command is used, execute the following task:

qa-gate

Create or update a quality gate decision file for a story based on review findings.

Purpose

Generate a standalone quality gate file that provides a clear pass/fail decision with actionable feedback. This gate serves as an advisory checkpoint for teams to understand quality status.

Prerequisites

Story has been reviewed (manually or via review-story task)
Review findings are available
Understanding of story requirements and implementation

Gate File Location

ALWAYS check the .bmad-core/core-config.yaml for the qa.qaLocation/gates

Slug rules:

Convert to lowercase
Replace spaces with hyphens
Strip punctuation
Example: "User Auth - Login!" becomes "user-auth-login"

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.
