After the 861% Rework Spike, the Real Cost of AI Code Is "Nobody Reviewed It" — Content Pipelines Need a Review Gate Too

Description and use

Implemented scripted gates before publishing to automate review and reduce errors from fast AI generation.

Problem

AI‑generated content and code are produced faster than humans can review, leading to high rework and defects.

Outcome

Implemented a gate‑based review process that reduced unreviewed errors, turning ad‑hoc checks into enforced automated steps.

Workflow

• 1. AI drafts article and assets
• 2. Push script invokes writing_gates.py with article path
• 3. Script runs 17 automated checks (title/body consistency, fence balance, layout verification, etc.)
• 4. If all checks pass, script outputs "17/17 PASS" and allows push
• 5. If any check fails, script exits with error and blocks publish
• 6. Nightly review job feeds new errors back into the gate system

Evidence

Compile review from "a human stares at it" into "a gate" — only then can content be batch‑produced safely.
