Plan — Document skip-quality-gate and refine pre-validation in AGENTS.md#

Summary#

Add documentation for two recently shipped behaviors to AGENTS.md: the skip-quality-gate directive (one-time quality gate bypass for deliver phase) and the refine pre-validation rejection of non-gated tasks. Both are live and undocumented, creating a gap for agents and contributors.

Files#

Steps#

1. Add skip-quality-gate documentation to the Directive System section — Add a subsection after the existing directive bullets in AGENTS.md (~line 36) covering: purpose (one-time bypass of pre-PR quality checks for deliver phase), usage (/agent skip-quality-gate), one-time consumption behavior, and guardrails (only affects deliver phase, consumed immediately, does not skip code review).
2. Add refine pre-validation documentation — Add a subsection documenting: eligibility requirement (task must be status=gated), rejection behavior for terminal and non-gated states, error messages posted to GitHub, and remediation steps (check task status, resolve why it's not gated, retry once gated).
3. Verify formatting and integration — Ensure new subsections integrate into existing structure without creating new top-level sections; confirm bullet-point style matches existing content.

Verification#

• AGENTS.md contains skip-quality-gate directive documentation with purpose, usage, and guardrails
• AGENTS.md contains refine pre-validation documentation with eligibility, error behavior, and remediation
• No new top-level sections added — content integrated into existing Directive System section
