SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When an agent produces a plan, output, or decision, a single-pass review often rubber-stamps errors. This Skill forces a fresh, adversarial re-read of the actual sources so unsupported claims, wrong assumptions, and gaps are caught before you act on them. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Five-Phase Re-Verification: Scope the target, re-read from actual sources, challenge adversarially, propose improvements, and deliver a verdict. - Explicit Verdicts: Every run ends with SOLID, IMPROVED, or RETHINK, each backed by cited evidence. - Iterative Improvement: When issues are found, the Skill proposes concrete fixes and offers to apply them and run another pass. - Use Case: After an agent drafts a migration plan, run /double-check to re-read the referenced code and docs, challenge each step's ordering and assumptions, and receive a verdict on whether the plan holds up. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to run /double-check on the plan or output you want re-verified, for example by saying "double-check this migration plan against the actual source files".

Frequently Asked Questions about double-check

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify an AI-generated plan before executing it?

Run /double-check on the plan. The Skill re-reads the actual source files and docs, challenges each step for gaps, wrong assumptions, and ordering issues, then delivers a SOLID, IMPROVED, or RETHINK verdict with cited evidence.

What is the difference between double-check and a formal verification gate?

Double-check is a quick, targeted re-read of one claim or artifact. The /verify skill is a formal phase gate requiring intent, plan, and execution artifacts. Use double-check for fast spot checks and escalate to /verify for full gating.

Can double-check verify claims from memory or prior analysis?

No. The Skill explicitly requires going back to actual sources such as files, code, and docs. Verifying from memory or cached understanding is prohibited by its rules.

What happens when double-check finds problems in my output?

It delivers an IMPROVED verdict listing each issue, a proposed fix, and the reasoning. It then offers to apply the fixes and run another pass, iterating until the target is solid.

When should I not use double-check?

Avoid it when you need a formal multi-artifact phase gate (use /verify) or an advisory multi-perspective critique of an output (use /insight-critique). Double-check targets a single claim or artifact.
