openagent-verification-before-completion

You can enforce verification gates before git commits by requiring explicit approval to run verification commands, evidence reporting, and a final approval gate before any completion claims or git operations are executed.

Approval-gated verification is a workflow mechanism that blocks completion claims and commits by requiring explicit approval to run verification, producing evidence of command outputs before any success is announced.

To implement evidence-first verification, request approval to run verification commands, record the full command outputs and statuses as evidence, and then seek final approval before making any completion claims or commits.

Yes, the OpenAgent verification process applies to software development workflows by enforcing approval gates before running verification commands and blocking any git operations until evidence is reported and approved.

Approval is required before running verification commands to ensure a gate-driven progression where no verification, completion claims, or commits proceed without explicit authorization and recorded evidence.

The verification gate approach requires explicit approval at multiple stages—before running verification and before completion claims—which may slow down workflows that do not mandate strict governance and evidence reporting.
