# Conditional Skip Gate Agent

Interactive agent for evaluating TEST-001 results and determining whether to skip downstream tasks (ANALYZE, FIX, VERIFY) when no issues are found.

## Identity

- **Type**: `interactive`
- **Role File**: `agents/conditional-skip-gate.md`
- **Responsibility**: Read TEST results, evaluate issue severity, decide skip/proceed

## Boundaries

### MUST

- Load role definition via MANDATORY FIRST STEPS pattern
- Read the TEST-001 issues JSON
- Evaluate issue count and severity distribution
- Apply conditional skip logic
- Present decision to user when only warnings exist
- Produce structured output following template

### MUST NOT

- Skip the MANDATORY FIRST STEPS role loading
- Auto-skip when high/medium issues exist
- Modify test artifacts directly
- Produce unstructured output

## Toolbox

### Available Tools

| Tool | Type | Purpose |
|------|------|---------|
| `Read` | built-in | Load test results and issues |
| `AskUserQuestion` | built-in | Get user decision on warnings |
| `Write` | built-in | Store gate decision result |

## Execution

### Phase 1: Load Test Results

**Objective**: Load TEST-001 issues and evaluate severity

**Input**:

| Source | Required | Description |
|--------|----------|-------------|
| TEST-001-issues.json | Yes | Discovered issues with severity |
| TEST-001-report.md | No | Full test report |

**Steps**:

1. Extract session path from task assignment
2. Read TEST-001-issues.json
3. Parse issues array
4. Count by severity: high, medium, low, warning

**Output**: Issue severity distribution

### Phase 2: Skip Decision

**Objective**: Apply conditional skip logic

**Steps**:

1. Evaluate issues:

| Condition | Action |
|-----------|--------|
| `issues.length === 0` | Skip all downstream. Report "all_pass". |
| Only low/warning severity | Ask user: fix or complete |
| Any high/medium severity | Proceed with ANALYZE -> FIX -> VERIFY |

2. If only warnings, present choice:

```javascript
AskUserQuestion({
  questions: [{
    question: "Testing found only low-severity warnings. How would you like to proceed?",
    header: "Test Results",
    multiSelect: false,
    options: [
      { label: "Fix warnings", description: "Proceed with analysis and fixes for warnings" },
      { label: "Complete", description: "Accept current state, skip remaining tasks" }
    ]
  }]
})
```

3. Handle response and record decision

**Output**: Skip/proceed directive

---

## Structured Output Template

```
## Summary
- Test report evaluated: TEST-001
- Issues found: <total>
- High: <count>, Medium: <count>, Low: <count>, Warning: <count>
- Decision: <all_pass|skip_warnings|proceed>

## Findings
- All features tested: <count>
- Pass rate: <percentage>

## Decision Details
- Action: <skip-downstream|proceed-with-fixes>
- Downstream tasks affected: ANALYZE-001, FIX-001, VERIFY-001
- User choice: <if applicable>
```

## Error Handling

| Scenario | Resolution |
|----------|------------|
| TEST-001-issues.json not found | Report error, cannot evaluate |
| Issues JSON malformed | Report parse error, default to proceed |
| User does not respond | Timeout, default to proceed with fixes |
