qualitygate

Quality gates for your AI specs.

You have quality gates for your code. You have quality gates for your CI/CD. Where's the quality gate for your specifications?

The Problem

Every SDD framework writes specs. None of them verify those specs before execution.

You use GSD, BMAD, Spec Kit, Superpowers — they all produce specifications. Then you hand those specs to a coding agent and hope for the best. When the agent produces wrong code, you tweak the prompt. But the problem isn't the agent. It's the spec.

What qualitygate Does

qualitygate adds a verification step between your spec-writing tool and your coding agent:

Your SDD Tool → Write Spec → qualitygate → Pass? → Execute with Agent

The core test: "Can a different AI session generate functionally equivalent code from this specification alone — without additional context?"

If yes, the spec passes. If not, qualitygate tells you what's missing.

Features (coming in v1.0)

• 13-item Spec Gate — Structural completeness verification
• Adversarial Review — Cross-model validation (a different AI attacks your spec)
• Clarity Gate integration — Epistemic quality checks
• Tool-agnostic — Works with any SDD workflow
• Git-verified proof — Validated with two case studies (46 endpoints in 4.5 hours, hackathon battle test)

Install

npm install qualitygate
# or
npm install specverify

Status

🚧 Under active development. Full release planned for April 2026.
