Verify self-sufficiency by using blind reconstruction to rebuild the adjacent abstraction layer from the artifact alone, ensuring the spec or design doc preserves enough structure for independent use without original source files.

Blind reconstruction is an artifact verification method that spawns an isolated sub-agent to reconstruct adjacent layers from a spec, schema, or contract alone, validating that the artifact contains enough structural information to be used independently.

Validate schema self-sufficiency by applying blind reconstruction to check if an isolated sub-agent can rebuild the adjacent layer from the extracted schema alone, confirming it retains enough structure to function independently of the original source.

Yes, blind reconstruction for contract verification requires no additional dependencies, allowing you to validate abstraction layer self-sufficiency by reconstructing adjacent layers entirely from the artifact without external tools.

Run artifact verification immediately after generating or extracting a spec, design doc, schema, or contract to confirm the artifact can be used independently, preventing authors from grading their own work through isolated sub-agent reconstruction.

Blind reconstruction for abstraction layer validation is limited to verifying structural self-sufficiency of artifacts like specs, schemas, and contracts, and does not assess functional correctness or runtime behavior of the reconstructed adjacent layers.
