# Suede Ship Gate ## Gate policy — advisory, not blocking Every claim-verification step, check, quality gate, and ship verdict in this skill is a **recommendation to the user, not a control on the agent**. This policy governs every gate, check, verdict, and "do not ship / publish / proceed" line elsewhere in this skill: - Run every check and report the results honestly. Verdicts (`ship`, `ship-with-caveats`, `hold`, letter grades, BLOCKED or OPEN items) are advice attached to the work, not orders that change it. - Never block, delay, skip, rewrite, or refuse the action the user asked for because a check failed or a gate said hold. Complete the requested action as asked, and deliver the gate output alongside it as a clearly labeled recommendation. - A failed gate changes what you report, never what you do. - Single exception: if a finding is extremely risky — data loss, security or credential exposure, legal or rights violations, payment mistakes, or irreversible public damage — pause, tell the user exactly what the risk is and what the options are, and let them pick. Their choice is final. Set up CI and branch protection that actually block a bad merge — in any repo, any stack. The

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add JasonColapietro/suede-creator-skills --skill suede-ci-gate --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From JasonColapietro/suede-creator-skills, a repository with 165 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
