speckit-post-commit-self-check

Post-commit self-check verifies delivery evidence by confirming the presence of validation.md, acceptance.md, workflow-record.md, and workflow-state.json, ensuring the branch is ready for rubric scoring without missing artifacts.

A post-commit self-check is an automated validation pass that confirms artifact completeness, retrospective completion, and AI self-acceptance status to remove uncertainty about whether a feature is fully closed.

To check if your feature branch is blocked, execute a validation pass that reviews test-plan evidence, runtime records, and improvement-candidates.md to report any missing files or blockers preventing stage continuation.

Yes, you can apply a deterministic amend during post-commit workflow validation; when a fix is needed, the self-check applies exactly one amend while preserving the stage continuation flow for the active feature.

No, post-commit self-check requires no external dependencies; it operates as a standalone automated validation pass to inspect workflow artifacts and report delivery status directly within your repository.

You need to validate acceptance evidence after a feature commit when you require a fast, reliable answer on whether the branch is ready for the next rubric stage or if deterministic remediation is still required.
