 "title": "Gate agent handoffs on a test command Foremerge runs",
 "page_title": "How to gate agent handoffs on a test command Foremerge runs with Foremerge",
 "summary": "Register a trusted check so work counts as done only after Foremerge runs it itself.",
 "who": "A developer who wants a finished agent's work verified by a command before other agents treat it as done.",
 "problem": "An agent's own claim that its work passes is not enough for other agents to rely on.",
 "outcome": "Accepted work is verified by a registered check that Foremerge runs, or is recorded as UNVERIFIED with the reason when no check was registered.",
 "steps": [
  "Register a fast check that would catch a broken handoff, such as `foremerge checks set test -- cargo test --all-targets`, replacing it with your repository's command.",
  "If the repository has nothing meaningful to verify, run `foremerge checks policy advisory` once instead of registering an always-passing check.",
  "Run `foremerge doctor` to confirm the registered checks can run in agent worktrees."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the <repo path> repository, register one check with `foremerge checks set` using the repository's real test command, then run `foremerge doctor`. Expected output: a doctor report stating whether the check can run in this worktree. Verify that the check does not always pass before you rely on it as a gate.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "15 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The gate decides whether other agents may treat work as done but does not replace CI, and the project is a pre-1.0 local-first MVP.",
