issue-verifier

You can verify a GitHub issue before closing by performing an independent, read-only review of the issue body, comments, linked docs, and changed files to validate goal alignment and acceptance coverage. This produces a structured checklist verdict with actionable gaps and recommendations.

Independent issue verification is a read-only process that validates whether a nearly finished GitHub issue meets its original goals and acceptance criteria. It reviews issue bodies, comments, linked docs, and diffs to produce a formal verdict preventing premature closure.

You can check acceptance coverage by applying independent validation across the issue body, maintainer and user comments, linked design documents, and changed files. This identifies explicit acceptance gaps and generates actionable next steps before the issue closes.

Issue verification does not execute code changes by default. It performs a read-only validation pass and provides guardrails to hand control back to the contributor or issue workflow when additional work is needed to meet acceptance criteria.

You should run an independent verification pass on a GitHub issue when it is nearly finished and ready for closure. This ensures durability and intent alignment across the issue scope before finalizing, preventing premature closure due to missed acceptance gaps.
