Validating phase handoffs involves inspecting the current code state against stated phase objectives and confirming claimed edits are real by running git diff HEAD on each modified file. It tallies unverified changes to ensure outputs align with the plan.

Git diff verification works by running git diff HEAD on each modified file to evaluate whether edits claimed in the handoff are real, tallying unverified changes with a safe fallback for initial commits. This confirms edit integrity.

Yes, you can run automated tests during pipeline handoff validation by executing a provided TEST_COMMAND. The skill runs the command within a 120-second timeout to confirm tests pass and determines whether the handoff is sufficient to proceed.

Phase handoff validation is the process of verifying that phase objectives are met and automated tests pass before transitioning stages. You need it to reduce risk in pipeline transitions and ensure phase outputs provide enough context.

You do not need external dependencies to verify phase outputs against objectives. The validation process operates independently, using git diff HEAD and a provided TEST_COMMAND to determine handoff sufficiency without extra requirements.

When handoff validation fails test execution, it indicates the handoff requires a revert. The system determines the phase output is insufficient to proceed and supports automated revert on failure if configured.
