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.
