What problem does it solve?
This Skill prevents developers from prematurely marking development phases as complete without providing necessary evidence, documentation, or passing validation checks, ensuring a robust and auditable development process.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Artifact Verification: Ensures required files (e.g.,
requirements.md, architecture.md, validation/result.md) exist before a phase can be marked complete.
- Validation Mapping: Compares Phase 1 criteria against Phase 7 results to ensure requirements are met.
- Outer Loop Control: Manages iteration limits and ensures successful completion of previous phases before proceeding.
- Show-Your-Work Enforcement: Mandates clear, evidence-based reporting of results, not just a confirmation of completion.
- Use Case: When a developer claims "Phase 5: Code Review Complete," this skill will automatically check if the
reviews/code-review/consolidated.md file exists and contains a "PASS" verdict, blocking completion if it's missing.
Quick Start
Before marking any phase complete, run the checkpoint verification script for the current phase.
