What it is

Read-only rules-compliance gate. Its self-description: "Run a standalone read-only rules compliance gate against changed files or a git ref. Use when you need a dedicated project-rules check without a full review or verify pass." (.claude/skills/aif-rules-check/SKILL.md:3). The body titles it "Rules Compliance Gate" (.claude/skills/aif-rules-check/SKILL.md:13); frontmatter metadata tags it category: quality, author: AI Factory (.claude/skills/aif-rules-check/SKILL.md:8-10).

How it works

Under ## Step 3: Evaluate Rules (.claude/skills/aif-rules-check/SKILL.md:138) it evaluates the loaded rule sources against the resolved changed scope; "### Step 2.2: Resolve Rule Sources" (.claude/skills/aif-rules-check/SKILL.md:113) and "### Step 1.1: Load Skill Context" (.claude/skills/aif-rules-check/SKILL.md:48) feed that evaluation. The boundary is explicit: "## Step 4: Read-Only Boundary" (.claude/skills/aif-rules-check/SKILL.md:154) — "This command is read-only: do not edit RULES.md, rules/base.md, rules.<area>, plan files, or source code." (.claude/skills/aif-rules-check/SKILL.md:156) — and gaps route back to the writer skill instead ("Suggest /aif-rules <rule text> for axioms", .claude/skills/aif-rules-check/SKILL.md:159).

Satellites & companions

• USES: the project's skill-context override — "Read .ai-factory/skill-context/aif-rules-check/SKILL.md - MANDATORY if the file exists." (.claude/skills/aif-rules-check/SKILL.md:50) — which is the npm-lane R10-naming + test-existence override documented as C23 (the census's B38 satellite column labels it "C21 skill-context", but the census's own C-family row for the aif-rules-check override is C23 and cross-references B38; recorded as a census cross-reference finding in E2-REPORT).
• ADAPTS: the axioms produced by B37 into a per-change evaluation pass without any write path.
• ADDS: the read-only gate posture itself — evaluate and suggest, never edit (.claude/skills/aif-rules-check/SKILL.md:154-156).
