SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a deterministic exit check for Phase 1 by evaluating the Architect ↔ Confirmer convergence and ensuring a handoff artifact is ready for Phase 2, reducing downstream blockers.

Core Features & Use Cases

Structural verification of exit readiness: Confirmer convergence, required sections, claim coverage, and experiment alignment.
Supports decision routing by reporting PASS or NEEDS-REWORK with explicit criteria and open findings.
Useful in end-to-end research pipelines to guard handoffs between design and verification stages.

Quick Start

Run the latest Architect ↔ Confirmer phase and report whether Phase 1 can hand off to Phase 2, including any NEEDS-REWORK criteria.

FAQPage Schema

How do I verify phase 1 exit criteria for a research handoff?▼

To verify phase 1 exit criteria, evaluate the latest Architect and Confirmer convergence artifact against required sections, claim coverage, and experiment alignment to determine PASS or NEEDS-REWORK.

What is an Architect and Confirmer convergence artifact in method design?▼

An Architect and Confirmer convergence artifact is the finalized output from the design and verification stages, used to check structural readiness and ensure all claims are covered before phase 2 handoff.

How do I check if my phase 1 handoff is ready for phase 2?▼

Check phase 1 handoff readiness by applying four ordered criteria to the convergence artifact, generating a PASS or NEEDS-REWORK result with explicit failing notes for any open findings.

What happens if my phase 1 exit check reports NEEDS-REWORK?▼

When a phase 1 exit check reports NEEDS-REWORK, it provides explicit failing notes on unmet criteria, preventing downstream phase 2 handoff until structural verification and experiment alignment are fixed.

Can I use this exit check for gating end-to-end research pipelines?▼

Yes, you can use this exit check for gating end-to-end research pipelines by returning deterministic PASS or NEEDS-REWORK results suitable for downstream decision routing between design and verification stages.
