What problem does it solve?

Desktop application validation often requires running against a real environment to prove business rules and ensure end-to-end readiness. This skill provides an end-to-end workflow that validates a desktop app by executing each Validation Metier (VM) item, collecting tangible proof (logs, file system state, test outputs, and, when applicable, UI evidence), and determining a binary verdict to decide whether a ticket can move to Done.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Activation-driven workflow: resolves customization blocks, loads the project workflow context, greets the user, and manages pre- and post-activation steps to prepare for VM execution.
• VM-driven validation: parses VM items from the issue, classifies each item by type, runs automated tests or guided manual steps, collects robust proof, and renders per-VM verdicts.
• Proof standards and reporting: enforces multi-proof types (test outputs, logs, file-state captures, IPC messages) and composes a tracker-ready verdict using standard templates.
• Tracker integration: posts the final verdict to the issue tracker and optionally moves the issue to Done when all VM items pass.
