Phase 6: Quality Gates & CI/CD for AI Code · 50 min · Claude Code · GitHub Actions · Python

Building the Quality Gate for Your Product

Five checks, one gate, one rule: any failure blocks the merge. Not four out of five — five out of five.

Real-world application: A working, composed quality gate — not five separate scripts nobody runs together — is a concrete, portfolio-ready artifact demonstrating the full discipline this phase built, end to end.

What you will learn

Compose lint, SAST, dependency scan, intent verification, and drift checks into one consolidated quality gate
Apply the 'any failure blocks the merge' rule across a fully composed gate, not just individual checks
Explain what a complete quality gate changes about a human reviewer's job, and what it doesn't replace
Build and verify a working quality gate end to end for your own course-long product

Introduction

Building the Quality Gate for Your Product
