GATE.md

The quality gate for AI-generated code.

GATE.md enforces quality and security standards on AI-generated code by combining deterministic static analysis with independent AI review (Gemini).

Install

Run from your project root:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/codacy/gatemd/main/install.sh | bash

This installs skills and hooks directly into your project. Then run /gate-setup in Claude Code.

What It Does

1. Intercepts AI coding agent output at natural stopping points (via hooks)
2. Analyzes code changes using static analysis tools + independent Gemini AI review
3. Enforces project-specific quality and security standards
4. Returns actionable findings for the coding agent to self-heal

Every analysis produces a gate decision: PASS, WARN, or FAIL.

• hooks/analyze.sh — Stop hook script (runs on every agent response)
