What problem does it solve?
Honesty gate that blocks any production-ready / production-grade / v1.0 claim without recorded evidence of sustained internal use. Reads the project's dogfood manifest at knowledge-base/dogfood/manifest.md plus evidence files at knowledge-base/dogfood/evidence/. Applies the project-specific dogfood golden rule (rules/dogfood-golden-rule.md — created per project), and emits EVIDENCE_SUFFICIENT / EVIDENCE_WITH_CAVEATS / EVIDENCE_INSUFFICIENT. Invoke before any production claim, milestone promotion targeting v1.0, README/CHANGELOG edits that touch status language, or release decision.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Enforces per-project governance by requiring a dogfood golden rule, a manifest, and an evidence log to validate production claims.
- Emits formal verdicts (EVIDENCE_SUFFICIENT, EVIDENCE_WITH_CAVEATS, EVIDENCE_INSUFFICIENT) based on hard and soft checks across the project's artifacts.
- Supports modes like audit, log-evidence, and status to manage and review dogfood evidence over time.
Quick Start
Run the dogfood audit to validate the current evidence against the golden rule and manifest.
