Create GitHub issues as the single tracking entrypoint for tasks, with a hard gate on acceptance criteria.
Core rule: no explicit, testable acceptance criteria from user => issue stays draft and execution is blocked.
draft, ready, and blocked work before execution begins.Every issue must include these sections:
draft | ready | blocked | done)Acceptance criteria are valid only when they are testable and pass/fail checkable.
Examples:
If criteria are missing or non-testable:
Status: draftExecution Gate: blocked (missing valid acceptance criteria)Default mode is direct GitHub creation using gh issue create.
Use a body template like:
md## Problem <what is broken or missing> ## Goal <what outcome is expected> ## Scope - <in scope item> ## Non-Goals - <out of scope item> ## Acceptance Criteria - <explicit, testable criterion 1> ## Dependencies/Blockers - <dependency or none> ## Status draft|ready|blocked|done ## Execution Gate allowed|blocked (<reason>)
draft: missing/weak acceptance criteria or incomplete task definitionready: acceptance criteria are explicit and testableblocked: external dependency prevents progressdone: acceptance criteria verified with evidenceNever mark an issue ready without valid acceptance criteria.
Execution workflows (for example closed-loop-delivery) may start only when:
readyallowedIf issue is draft, stop and request user-provided acceptance criteria.

DecimalAI ran this skill against gemini-3.6-flash twice over the same eval suite — once with the skill loaded and once without — and compared the two runs case by case. 25 cases were attempted, and 24 counted toward the lift figure. The other 1 produced results that are not comparable between the two arms, so they are excluded from the headline rather than averaged into it. The headline lift of +52 percentage points is the difference between those two pass rates over the 24 comparable cases.
The per-case answers from this run were removed by the retention sweep, so the case table below shows the verdicts without the text either arm produced. The counts above were recorded at the time and are unaffected. Answers are now kept for 180 days.
Other measured skills in the registry, with their headline benchmark lift.
