About alpha-forge-preship
alpha-forge-preship is a quality-check skill for the Alpha Forge PR review cycle. It applies four gates covering RNG determinism, URLs, parameters, and manifest consistency.
Key features
- 01Check RNG isolation and determinism
- 02Validate fork URLs
- 03Check parameter ranges
- 04Verify decorator and YAML manifest sync
Use cases
- 01Check RNG and URLs before commits
- 02Validate parameters at runtime or in CI
- 03Check manifest consistency in CI

From the project READMEAlpha Forge Pre-Ship Quality Gates - Phase 1
Quality assurance plugin for Alpha Forge PR review cycle.
Self-Evolving Skill: This skill improves through use. If instructions are wrong, parameters drifted, or a workaround was needed — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues.
Overview
Implements 4 bulletproof quality gates to catch 5 of 13 PR #154 issues:
- G5: RNG Determinism (pre-commit)
- G4: URL Fork Validation (pre-commit)
- G8: Parameter Validation (runtime/CI)
- G12: Manifest Sync Validation (CI)
Effectiveness
- Issue Prevention: 42% of PR issues
- False Positive Rate: <1%
- Implementation Time: ~4 hours
- Payoff Period: 2-3 PRs
- Review Cycle Reduction: 30-50%

Architecture
All gates enforce the Decorator-as-Single-Source-of-Truth principle:
- Parameter constraints defined in decorators
- Configuration validated at entry points
- Manifest consistency ensured automatically
- Documentation requirements enforced systematically
Integration
Pre-Commit Hook
from gates.g4_url_validation import validate_org_urls
from gates.g5_rng_determinism import validate_rng_isolation
Runtime Parameter Validation
from gates.g8_parameter_validation import ParameterValidator
validator = ParameterValidator()
validator.validate_numeric_range(value, min_val, max_val)
Manifest Validation
from gates.g12_manifest_sync import validate_manifest
issues = validate_manifest("manifest.yaml")

Post-Execution Reflection
After this skill completes, check before closing:
- Did the command succeed? — If not, fix the instruction or error table that caused the failure.
- Did parameters or output change? — If the underlying tool's interface drifted, update Usage examples and Parameters table to match.
- Was a workaround needed? — If you had to improvise (different flags, extra steps), update this SKILL.md so the next invocation doesn't need the same workaround.
Only update if the issue is real and reproducible — not speculative.
