SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill validates completed checklist items by ensuring artifacts exist, any linked verification scripts run, data numbers verify, and cross-references are consistent, preventing unverified milestones.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Walk the full checklist tree starting from Checklist.md, traverse L1 and L2 checklists, and build a flat list of items with current markers.
  • Verify each [x] item by checking artifact paths, executing linked verification scripts, performing data spot-checks, and validating cross-references (papers, figures, and provenance).
  • Promote verified items to [v], keep [x] items with a failure flag, and skip [ ] items to ignore until claimed done.
  • Recompute branch counts and propagate status up the hierarchy (L2 → L1 → L0) to reflect the current completed work.
  • Write back updated checklist files and output a verification report showing promotions and issues.

Quick Start

Run the checklist-verify workflow to walk every checklist, validate completed items, and update the verification report.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate checklist verification for project milestones?

Automate checklist verification by validating artifact existence, running verification scripts, spot-checking data, and validating cross-references. The tool traverses the entire checklist tree starting from Checklist.md to support milestone reviews.

How does checklist verification handle cross-references and data validation?

Checklist verification handles cross-references by validating papers, figures, and provenance integrity. It performs data spot-checks on numbers and executes linked verification scripts to ensure artifacts exist and data is consistent.

Can I use automated checklist reporting to track unverified milestone items?

Automated checklist reporting tracks unverified milestone items by promoting verified [x] items to [v], keeping failed items with a flag, and skipping unclaimed [ ] items. It outputs a final report showing promotions and issues.

What is the best way to propagate checklist status up a project hierarchy?

Propagate checklist status up a project hierarchy by recomputing branch counts and rolling status updates from L2 to L1 and L0. This reflects current completed work across the entire checklist tree.

Does checklist verification work with nested L1 and L2 checklist structures?

Checklist verification works with nested L1 and L2 checklist structures by traversing the full tree starting from Checklist.md. It builds a flat list of items with current markers to validate completed work.

Why do my completed checklist items fail verification during milestone reviews?

Completed checklist items fail verification when linked artifacts are missing, verification scripts error, data numbers mismatch, or cross-references lack integrity. Failed items keep their [x] marker with a failure flag in the report.
