Why are validation gates important in this skill?

Validation gates ensure that every improvement or fix is verified through automated testing or linting, preventing regressions and maintaining stability.

What does the Code Quality Workflow skill do?

It provides a standardized framework for analyzing code, performing reviews, and implementing systematic quality improvements with built-in validation.

Does it support PR reviews?

Yes, it is specifically designed to handle code reviews for PRs, refactors, and pre-merge checks to ensure high quality before code is committed.

How does it handle code improvements?

It follows a structured process: identifying findings, applying changes with safety validation, and verifying the results using tests or linting tools.

Can I use this for full security audits?

No, this skill focuses on general security hygiene. For comprehensive penetration testing or full-scale security audits, specialized security skills should be used.
