gate-signoff

gate-signoff is a skill for Claude Code from lantisprime/claude-sdlc. It costs 170 tokens per session (1,649 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A chat-based process for recording a human approval at the end of a project phase. It requires a work-item link, such as a requirement, ticket, or change request, instead of accepting a bare “yes.”

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after planning, analysis, design, build, testing, or support phases to collect and validate sign-off before continuing.
Why use it?
It creates an auditable approval tied to a specific piece of work without making the user edit a gate file manually.

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-signoff 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 8d 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 — 99 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Gate Sign-off

Capture a fresh, auditable human approval at the end of a phase — without forcing a context-switch into the editor, but without letting approval degrade into a rubber-stamped "yes" either.

When this skill runs

  • Invoked by phase commands/plan, /analyze, /design, /build, /test, /supportafter the phase artifact has been written and shown to the human.
  • Does NOT run for /deploy or /fix-fast. Deploy has blast radius; fix-fast bundles three phases into one mini-gate. Both require the human to physically open and sign the gate file.
  • Does NOT run for /docs. Docs is cross-cutting and has no dedicated gate file.

The sign-off dialogue

After the phase artifact is written, surface it and ask:

Phase artifact: .claude/sdlc/<folder>/<task-slug>.md — please review.

To sign off, paste the URL of the REQ / ticket / CR you're approving against. If no ticket system is configured (degraded mode), type no ticket followed by the REQ ID(s) from the requirements artifact — e.g. no ticket REQ-12, REQ-13.

Wait for the user's raw input. Do not proceed on a bare "yes", "ok", "lgtm", or emoji — those are not acknowledgments, they're rubber stamps. If the response is one of those, re-ask with the prompt above.

Validation

Before writing the gate file, validate the input:

  1. URL form. If the input looks like a URL, confirm it parses (scheme + host + path).
  2. Host match. Read config/tools.jsonticket_system.host. If present, warn (not block) when the URL's host differs — the human may be pointing at a secondary system on purpose.
  3. Degraded form. If the input starts with no ticket, require at least one REQ-<n> token and confirm each REQ ID appears in the requirements artifact for this task.
  4. Task-slug echo. The skill independently computes the expected gate path; the written file lands there. Do not let the user's pasted text redirect the output path.

If any check fails, explain the failure and re-ask once. After a second failure, pause and ask the human what to do — do not guess.

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.
