Cerberus setup

Cerberus is a polyglot quality gate for AI coding agent feedback loops. It runs lint / build / test commands against the files an agent (or you) touched, parses the results, and emits LLM-readable failure text the agent can read and act on. It plugs into Claude Code via the --agent claude-code adapter.

Source repo: ~/Projects/cerberus. Spec: SPEC.md in that repo. Domain language: CONTEXT.md. Decisions: docs/adr/.

When this skill applies

Trigger on phrases like:

• "set up cerberus in this repo"
• "add cerberus hooks to Claude Code"
• "wire cerberus into …"
• "write a .cerberus/config.yaml for …"
• "configure cerberus for a [language] project"

Do not trigger when the user is asking about Cerberus the test automation platform (different product) or about the mythological dog. Cerberus here is always the CLI at ~/.cargo/bin/cerberus.
