Quality Criteria Registry

acceptance-quality-criteria.v1.json is the active reviewable criteria registry for candidate characteristics. It defines criteria that deterministic gates may use to reject, downgrade, invalidate, flag, merge, or require review.

The registry is intentionally not an approval policy. Approval belongs to human reviewers or trusted agentic reviewers that inspect evidence and record a rationale.

List the active registry from the CLI:

repo-scoping list-quality-criteria --format markdown

The same registry is available from the API at GET /quality-criteria.
