+name: i8-quality-high
+description: >
+  Run the full quality gate (make quality-high: docs, autoformat, the whole test
+  suite, then every lint target) in a loop until it is green end to end. Trigger
+  on /i8-quality-high or when the operator asks for the high gate before a
+  commit, a pull request, or a release. Infinito.Nexus specific.
+---
+
+Follow the instructions from AGENTS.md, then drive `make quality-high` to green.
+It is `make quality` (docs, autoformat, test) followed by `make lint` — every
+lint target, so budget around ten minutes per pass.
+
+The fix loop and its forbidden shortcuts are the `test-fix` skill's; this skill
+only pins the command and how to read its result.
+
+## Running a pass
+
+Run it in the background, streaming the full output to a log, and give the
+operator the literal command to follow it:
+
+    make quality-high 2>&1 | tee /tmp/make-quality-high-<N>.log
+    tail -f /tmp/make-quality-high-<N>.log
+
+Increment `<N>` per pass so runs stay comparable. Nothing else may run while it
+does — no other test, script, or agent. The wall-clock budgets fail under
+self-made load, and a stale `.ansible/.lock` from a parallel run breaks
+ansible-lint silently.
+
+## Reading the result
+
+Judge by the two `📊 per-target wall-clock` tables (one for the test phase, one
+for lint) and any `FAILED TARGETS:` line — never by the pipe exit code, which is
+unreliable here. `docs` and `autoformat` write to the tree: run `git status`
+after every pass and treat an unexpected diff as a finding, not as noise.
+
+## Fixing
+
+Every failure is fixed at its root. A lint hit is resolved by deleting the
+offending construct, not by a `nocheck` marker, a loosened rule, or a target
+dropped from the gate — any suppression needs the operator's explicit approval
+and a stated reason.
+
+Re-run the specific failing target first (`make test-unit`, `make lint-ansible`,
+…), then the full `make quality-high` before declaring the gate green: a fix that
+breaks a neighbouring target is not a fix.
+
+## Working mode
+
+Begin by clarifying every open requirement with the `active-listening` skill,
+escalating any root-cause question you are not ~99% sure of to the `dialectic`
+skill, then work under the `robot` skill until both phases pass clean. Report
+calibrated confidence per the `confidence` skill. Do not commit unless the
+operator asked for a commit.
