Engine Skill - Deterministic Validation Pipeline
| name | description |
|---|---|
| engine | Validates PAI outputs against hard gates (tests, security, budget). USE WHEN you need to ensure that code or assets are production-ready before pushing. |
The Key Insight
Reliability is a pipeline, not a promise. Engine enforces your quality standards automatically. It turns the AI's "Creative Output" into "Verified Assets" by running them through a series of deterministic checks (Gates).
Usage
Run All Gates
bash
pai run Engine validate <path_to_code>
Security Gate
bash
pai run Engine secure <path_to_code>
How it Works
It coordinates with the Guardian and Forensics skills. It runs existing test suites, performs secret scanning, and checks for "Complexity Drift." If a gate fails, the pipeline halts.
Strategic Value
- •100% Reliability: You only see code that already passes your standards.
- •Approver Workflow: You move from "Reviewer" to "Final Approver."
- •Institutional Memory: Gates ensure that every new skill follows the same high standard.
