New Project Gate

Agent skill
1 skill

Run before building anything new — a pre-build gate that decides whether an idea deserves its own tool, judged from both the agent lens (legible, drivable, automatable) and the human lens (will I touch it, do I want to maintain it). Trigger on "should I build X", "starting a new project / app / tool / repo", "is this worth making", "want to spin up", or any new-build intent — even if the word "checklist" never appears. Outputs a backed GATE.md with checkmarks and a one-line verdict note in the project root docs. Do NOT load for small config tweaks, one-off scripts, bug fixes on existing things, or anything that is clearly a feature of something you already run.
