check-work

Invoke the check-work skill after the agent finishes its task. It spawns a verifier subagent that reviews the conversation trace, inspects the git diff, runs builds and tests, and returns a PASS or FAIL verdict with specific issues.

Use /check-work, /check, /verify, or /self-verify after the work is done. You can optionally pass a focus area like "auth logic and JWT handling" so the verifier scopes its verdict to that part of the changes.

The verifier checks correctness, adequacy, excess changes, and edge cases. It runs the project's build, test suite, and linters, reviews the diff for bugs and security issues, and confirms compliance with rules stated in the repo's AGENTS.md or Claude.md files.

Yes. The trace review phase covers operational tasks, git and PR actions, research, and Q&A. The verifier independently confirms outcomes, such as checking that a submitted job was accepted or that an answer matches source material.

On a FAIL verdict, the agent fixes the issues the verifier identified and runs the verification again. This fix-and-recheck loop repeats up to three times before stopping.

The verifier shares the same environment and tools as the original agent, so it cannot validate anything requiring external credentials or systems the session cannot access. It also depends on the repo documenting build and test commands.
