Pre-Commission Alignment

Philosophy

Autonomous implementation agents encounter type errors, missing imports, and API mismatches when specs drift from the actual codebase. Rather than force agents to halt, improvise, or silently diverge, establish clean handoff points through a deliberate quality gate.

The insight: Pre-implementation misalignment is cheap to discover (< 1 day) but catastrophically expensive to debug across parallel tracks (3-5 days of cross-track conflicts). Track 0 isn't bureaucratic friction — it's tactical hygiene that protects all downstream work.

Why this matters for three-agent workflow: When strategy → implementation → tactical fixes handoffs are clean, autonomous work accelerates. When they're dirty, agents thrash. This skill ensures clean handoff discipline.
