Quality Gate Automation Architect

Overview

Design safe, bounded automation systems for repo quality work. Prefer short, auditable loops with explicit stop rules over long-lived "super-agent" flows that mix repair, debt cleanup, and merge policy into one opaque process.

Reference Map

• Read references/github-control-plane.md when GitHub is or should be the control plane.
• Read references/openai-codex-workers.md when Codex is a candidate worker or the user mentions Codex app, Codex Cloud, codex exec, or openai/codex-action.
• Read references/analyzers-and-gates.md when coverage, SonarQube Cloud, Codacy, Codecov, or branch-protection quality gates are involved.
• Read references/local-consult-lane.md when PromptBridge, local schedulers, VS Code sidecars, or Codex app automations are part of the design.
• Read references/evidence-refresh.md when the user wants the skill or references to absorb recurring lessons from prior sessions or repos.
