phase-gate-boundary-sync

phase-gate-boundary-sync is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from alonf/specrew. It costs 28 tokens per session (254 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coordination pattern for keeping planning rules, implementation guidance, and handoff policy aligned when a new delivery gate becomes active.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when introducing a pre-implementation or pre-review checkpoint and updating the related iteration records.
Why use it?
It prevents different project documents from giving conflicting instructions about readiness or claiming that later automation already exists.

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-gate-boundary-sync 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 3d 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

phase-gate-boundary-sync

Purpose

Prevent lifecycle drift when a requirement from a later delivery phase becomes the current iteration's actual go/no-go gate.

When to Use

  • A slice introduces a new pre-implementation or pre-review gate.
  • Planning guidance, implementation readiness guidance, and coordinator policy can each misstate whether that gate is already active.
  • The current work should tighten lifecycle language without falsely claiming later automation or enforcement already exists.

Pattern

  1. Update the planning checkpoint to describe the gate as required future readiness, not as already satisfied evidence.
  2. Update the implementation checkpoint to name the concrete artifact, required sign-off fields, and any human-only deferral rule.
  3. Update the coordinator policy so handoffs and readiness summaries carry the same boundary language.
  4. Keep adjacent later-phase capabilities explicitly deferred unless the active slice truly delivers them.
  5. Repair iteration state/plan/drift artifacts immediately after the guidance lands so execution truth matches the newly accepted gate language.
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.
