SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents false confidence by validating that a code change actually behaves correctly in the runtime surface(s) it impacts, not just in CI.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Targeted runtime surface validation: Verify CLI, API, browser-visible UI flows, and background jobs/scheduled tasks, or infer via auto.
  • Evidence-driven verdicts: Produce a structured PASS / PASS WITH FOLLOW-UP / FAIL / BLOCKED report with reproducible evidence.
  • Protocol-aligned execution: Select the correct verification mode (manual/api/browser) and run environment prechecks so results aren’t guessed or implied.
  • Operational closure handoff: Provide the structured handoff needed for downstream closure, including blocked prerequisites and risky-action state when relevant.

Quick Start

Use the runtime-verification skill to validate CLI behavior by setting surface to cli and choosing a representative target command or dataset-related subsystem for the changed code.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate CLI behavior after a build or CI change?

You can validate CLI behavior by setting the runtime surface to cli and selecting a representative target command for the changed code. This executes targeted verification and returns a structured PASS or FAIL verdict with reproducible evidence.

What is runtime verification for deployment validation?

Runtime verification is the process of validating that code changes behave correctly across impacted runtime surfaces like public APIs and background jobs, preventing false confidence from CI checks alone by producing evidence-based deployment validation reports.

How do I run API smoke tests to verify changed surfaces?

Run API smoke tests by selecting the api verification mode to execute public API calls against changed surfaces. The process performs environment prechecks and returns a PASS, PASS WITH FOLLOW-UP, FAIL, or BLOCKED verdict with documented closure records.

Can I verify browser-visible user flows and background job triggers manually?

Yes, you can verify browser-visible user flows and background job triggers by selecting the browser or manual verification modes. The protocol-aligned execution selects traceable targets from changed surfaces and validates them with structured evidence reporting.

Does runtime verification work for incident prevention in automated CI pipelines?

Yes, runtime verification supports incident prevention in automated CI pipelines by executing deployment-sensitive path checks across automated modes. It generates a structured operational closure handoff that includes blocked prerequisites and risky-action states.

Why does my CI check pass but the deployment still fails?

CI checks passing while deployments fail indicates a need for runtime verification to validate affected runtime surfaces. This process performs environment prechecks and executes evidence-driven verification to catch behavioral issues CI misses.
