Pre-Action Gate

Load before any write, edit, or deploy. This is a gate — it doesn't produce output; it blocks premature moves.

The gate

Before any file mutation — re-read the target area. Code drifts between reads; stale context is the #1 cause of garbled edits. Use content_hash on edit_file whenever you touch a file.

After any change — go build ./... must pass before you call the step done. Not "should pass," not "probably passes" — you run it and show the output. One change → one build. Iterate.

Before claiming completion — evidence must be in the same response as the claim. complete_step enforces this structurally: the host rejects completions without verification commands. Don't fight it — feed it.

What this gate replaces

This skill encodes three constitution rules into one behavioral checkpoint. Load it instead of consulting the constitution directly — it's the distilled form:

  • go-vet-clean → build chain check
  • substantiate-every-claim → evidence-before-claim
  • never-say-fixed → only the user declares fixed

Failure modes

  • Stale edit — file changed since last read → garbled code. Re-read every time.
  • Premature "done" — claiming completion without build output. The host blocks it; don't waste the turn.
  • Batch-and-pray — 10 edits, then one build. One edit → one build. multi_edit for single-file batches only.
