Issue Being Solved:
Dev agent was marking tasks as complete even when tests/lint/typecheck failed,
causing broken code to reach merge and creating technical debt.
Gap in System:
Missing explicit quality gates in dev agent configuration to block task completion
until all automated validations pass.
Solution:
- Add "Quality Gate Discipline" core principle
- Update task execution flow: Execute validations→Only if ALL pass→Update [x]
- Add "Failing validations" to blocking conditions
- Simplify completion criteria to focus on validation success
Alignment with BMAD Core Principles:
- Quality-First: Prevents defective code progression through workflow
- Agent Excellence: Ensures dev agent maintains high standards
- Technology Agnostic: Uses generic "validations" concept vs specific tools
Small, focused change that strengthens existing dev agent without architectural changes.
