Seven gates, one pipeline, start to finish

AI Coding Agent CI/CD Governance

Pull requests per developer are up 20% with AI assistance, and incidents per pull request are up 23.5% right alongside them. Seven gates tracing a real CI/CD pipeline, commit through rollback, for confirming the controls around your coding agents are real, not just written down.

Seven governance patternsLogic independently verifiedWorks on any platformMaps a real CI/CD pipeline

Who this pack is for

A platform engineering, DevOps, or engineering leadership role responsible for a CI/CD pipeline that AI coding agents actively contribute to, opening pull requests, resolving dependencies, and in more mature setups, triggering their own promotions and remediations. Not a code-quality or static-analysis tool — this pack checks whether the governance controls around that activity are real and enforced.

Built around a real pipeline, not a checklist

Every pattern maps onto a sequential CI/CD stage, commit, merge, build, pipeline execution, security testing, promotion, rollback, and the worked examples follow one release through all seven, start to finish.

What's in the pack

All seven gates are built so missing or unclear information blocks the result rather than quietly passing it, each tested against every possible input combination and against an independent third-party decision engine. Every worked example follows the same running scenario, an AI coding agent shipping a rate-card update at a mid-size logistics- software company, through a realistic pipeline arc: no coverage threshold, uniform shallow review, an unflagged dependency, standing pipeline credentials, a skipped security test, an undefined production boundary, and an unbounded rollback, each closed in turn.

Agent-Authored Commit Test Coverage Gate

Confirms a coverage threshold exists, agent-authored changes are measured against it, and falling below it actually blocks merge.

Human Sign-Off Gate at Merge

Confirms a named human approver is required, review depth scales with risk, and approval is enforced before merge completes.

Dependency & Package Provenance Verification Gate

Confirms a new dependency an agent introduces is flagged, its provenance is checked, and a failed check actually blocks the build.

Pipeline Execution Credential Scoping Gate

Confirms the credentials a pipeline run uses are scoped, short-lived, and their issuance and use are logged.

Security Testing Gate for Agent-Authored Code

Confirms adversarial testing, scaled to risk, is required, actually happened, and its findings are resolved before promotion.

Autonomous Promotion Authorization Tier

Confirms an agent's promotion authority is tiered, production specifically requires human authorization, and the pipeline enforces it.

Agent-Initiated Rollback & Remediation Boundary

Confirms an agent's autonomous remediation scope is defined, destructive actions beyond it require confirmation, and every action is logged.

What this pack explicitly does not do

Does not build or operate your CI/CD, secrets-management, dependency-scanning, or security-testing tooling — that's your own platform engineering infrastructure, this pack checks that the controls around it exist and actually enforce. Does not judge whether a specific test suite, code review, or finding was good, only whether the gate around it is real. Does not decide what your coverage threshold, review-depth scaling, or promotion- tier boundaries should be, that's your own risk-appetite decision, this pack checks whether it was actually made and enforced.
