Gate Check
Validate whether the PRD stage is ready to advance to the next version. Delegates to the three-layer readiness scorer — SoT files → EPICs → stage — then surfaces the leverage view (what to fix first, and which EPICs it unblocks).
Workflow Overview
- Compute → run
scripts/readiness.py run --quietto refreshstatus/readiness.json - Read → parse
status/readiness.json - Report → PASS / WARN / BLOCK verdict with top blockers and causal links
- Recommend → actionable next steps (always highest-leverage first)
Authority
references/gate-criteria.md remains the canonical source of mandatory artifacts per gate. The scorer's GATE_REQUIREMENTS table mirrors it. Do not hand-roll checklists here — the scoring engine is the single source of truth.
Step 1: Compute
Run the orchestrator. It runs SoT → EPIC → stage in dependency order and writes status/readiness.json.
