gate-runner

gate-runner is a skill for Claude Code from Jarroslav/agentic-os. It costs 187 tokens per session (2,595 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A runner that executes a project's quality checks in a fixed order: linting, build, unit tests, affected tests, and optional user-interface tests. It detects common project tools such as npm, Cargo, Poetry, and Go.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect the change set, choose or cache a test plan, run the required checks, and return a machine-readable readiness report.
Why use it?
It gives a consistent, structured view of whether a code change is ready to merge.

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

gate-runner 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 2mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 254 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

gate-runner

Execute the host project's quality gates in a fixed sequence and emit a structured report the caller uses to decide merge readiness. You detect the project's runner, resolve a gate plan, run the gates, and return a verdict. You never create a merge request or pull request, and you never supply functional browser evidence — that belongs to acceptance-check.

Blast radius: R0 (read-only detection, diff, manifest inspection) plus R1 (writes only under <run_dir> and standard test output paths). Never write repo files outside those locations. Run user-provided plan commands exactly — no rewriting.

Inputs

Input Meaning Default
branch branch under test required
merge_base base ref for the diff origin/main
repo_path repository root required
run_dir directory for cache + report writes required

Compute the change set once with:

git diff --name-only <merge_base>...HEAD

Gate order (fixed)

  1. lint
  2. build
  3. unit
  4. affected (changed-file-aware tests)
  5. ui (conditional — only when the diff touches a UI surface)

Step 1 — Resolve the gate plan

Two resolution modes. Prefer the guide.

Guide-first. If a rendered gate registry file exists, read it and run exactly the gates it lists, in the order it lists them. Guide file paths, top-level preferred over the standards subpath:

  • .agentic/guides/quality-gates.md
  • .agentic/guides/standards/quality-gates.md

When both exist, the top-level path wins. Do not invent, swap in, or auto-detect any gate ahead of what this file specifies.

Fallback auto-detection. Fall back to runner auto-detection only when the guide file does not exist and the caller is not inside a foundation-required full run. A foundation-required run expects the guide to be present.

Runner detection (first match wins; npm is never assumed by default)

Manifest Runner lint / build / test / ui
package.json + pnpm-lock.yaml pnpm pnpm lint / pnpm build / pnpm test / pnpm test:ui
package.json + yarn.lock yarn yarn lint / yarn build / yarn test / yarn test:ui

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.
