# Create Issue Gate ## Overview 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.** ## Required Fields Every issue must include these sections: - Problem - Goal - Scope - Non-Goals - Acceptance Criteria - Dependencies/Blockers - Status (`draft` | `ready` | `blocked` | `done`) ## Acceptance Criteria Gate Acceptance criteria are valid only when they are testable and pass/fail checkable. Examples: - valid: "CreateCheckoutLambda-dev returns an openable third-party payment checkout URL" - invalid: "fix checkout" / "improve UX" / "make it better" If criteria are missing or non-testable: - still create the issue - set `Status: draft` - add `Execution Gate: blocked (missing valid acceptance criteria)` - do not move task to execution ## Issue Creation Mode 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>) ``` ## Status Rules - `draft`: missing/weak acceptance criteria or incomplete task definition - `ready`: acceptance criteria are explicit and testable - `blocked`: external dependency prevents progress - `done`: acceptance criteria verified with evidence Never mark an issue `ready` without valid acceptance criteria. ## Handoff to Execution Execution workflows (for example `closed-loop-delivery`) may start only when: - issue status is `ready` - execution gate is `allowed` If issue is `draft`, stop and request user-provided acceptance criteria.
