SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the risk of false or unverified completion claims that lead to broken work being committed, reported to users, or carried forward to subsequent tasks, ensuring all assertions of success are backed by actual, current evidence.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enforced Fresh Verification: Requires running the full proving command after every change, with no exceptions for stale runs or partial checks.
  • Subagent Report Validation: Prevents relaying unverified success reports from subagents or tools without independent confirmation of the work and test results.
  • Pre-commit and Pre-report Checklist: Provides a mandatory pre-send checklist to catch unexplained file changes, unproven claims, and skipped verification steps before any report is shared or code is committed. Use Case: After fixing a login bug, you cannot claim the fix works until you re-run the full login test suite and confirm all tests pass with the new code, rather than assuming the change resolved the issue.

Quick Start

Use the check skill to verify your bug fix works before replying that it is resolved.

Frequently Asked Questions about check

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify subagent reports before committing code changes?

Verify subagent reports by requiring fresh, current verification evidence and running full end-to-end commands to inspect exit codes and diffs before confirming any success claims. This enforces independent confirmation of work and test results rather than relaying unverified reports.

What is evidence-based reporting for software development completion claims?

Evidence-based reporting requires fresh, current verification for all assertions that work is done, fixed, or passing. It enforces full end-to-end command execution, exit code inspection, and diff review to eliminate the risk of false completion claims.

How do I validate test runs after fixing a bug?

Validate test runs after fixing a bug by re-running the full proving command with the new code and confirming all tests pass. You cannot claim the fix works until fresh verification evidence confirms the results, rather than assuming the change resolved the issue.

Does this verification method work with AI agent workflows?

Yes, this verification method applies to AI agent workflow scenarios where claims of successful test runs or fixed bugs must be validated. It prevents relaying unverified success reports from subagents by enforcing independent confirmation of work and test results.

What is the best way to prevent false completion claims in code review?

Prevent false completion claims by applying a mandatory pre-commit and pre-report checklist that catches unexplained file changes and unproven claims. Enforce full end-to-end command execution and diff review before any report is shared or code is committed.

When do I need to run fresh verification for completion claims?

You need to run fresh verification after every change, with no exceptions for stale runs or partial checks. This ensures all assertions of success are backed by actual, current evidence before reporting, committing, or moving to subsequent tasks.
