SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Technical reviews often mix unverified claims with jargon, leaving non-technical stakeholders unsure whether a fix actually works. This Skill enforces an evidence-first review process and translates findings into grade-5 language anyone can understand.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Three-Stage Workflow: Audits the actual source of truth (diffs, logs, tests), verifies claims against concrete evidence, then explains results in simple terms.
  • Evidence Hierarchy: Prioritizes automated tests and running artifacts over static inspection, and clearly labels inference when nothing stronger is available.
  • Plain-Language Output: Produces structured summaries covering what changed, why it matters, how it was verified, and what remains unproven.
  • Use Case: After fixing a checkout bug, use this Skill to confirm the fix with test output and a browser recording, then hand a product owner a short PASS/FAIL summary with remaining risks stated plainly.

Quick Start

Use $audit-verify-explain-grade-5 to audit my latest change, verify it with the available tests and logs, and explain the result in simple language.

Frequently Asked Questions about audit-verify-explain-grade-5

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify a bug fix before reporting it as done?▼

Verify a bug fix by running targeted tests, exercising the actual user-facing path, and capturing evidence like logs or recordings. This Skill structures that process and reports exactly what was and was not checked.

How to explain technical changes to non-technical stakeholders?▼

Use short sentences, define technical terms in plain words, and state what changed, why it matters, and how it was verified. The Skill enforces grade-5 language without hiding important caveats or risks.

What evidence counts when verifying a code change?▼

Evidence is ranked from strongest to weakest: automated tests and builds, running the actual app, logs and screenshots, static code inspection, and clearly labeled inference. Unverified claims must be flagged rather than asserted.

Can this Skill verify performance improvement claims?▼

Yes, but it avoids overclaiming. It says measured faster only when before and after timings exist, should improve when no trace was captured, and removes repeated work only when the code clearly does so.

What are the limitations of evidence-based verification?▼

Verification can be partial when tests or running environments are unavailable. In those cases the Skill reports the blocker, states exactly which parts were checked, and never claims the full workflow works.
