Quality gate // handoff validation

QA Agent / Codex Handoff Quality

A planned quality gate for target validation, context checks, cleaner implementation packets, and manual-only deployment rules.

What it is

QA Agent / Codex Handoff Quality is a planned Office capability for improving the packets that reach Codex. It checks paths, context, constraints, and implementation expectations before local edits happen.

Why it matters

Most mistakes are cheaper before the first edit. A QA gate can reduce wrong-path changes, vague instructions, accidental production moves, and muddy deployment assumptions.

What is being built

The build direction includes target validation, project context checks, manual-only deployment rules, clearer implementation packets, QA expectations, and safeguards against public updates without review.

Planned capabilities

  • Target path and repo validation
  • Project context and instruction checks
  • Manual-only deployment constraints
  • Clearer implementation packets and QA expectations
  • Production-change prevention without review

Status

Planned Office Capability. It exists to make Codex handoffs safer and less ambiguous.
