SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill ensures that you only claim completion after obtaining fresh verification evidence, preventing premature success declarations and helping maintain integrity in delivery.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Evidence-driven claims: Requires running verification commands and reviewing outputs before stating success.
  • Applicability to code work: Ideal for PRs, builds, tests, and deployment checks to validate completion criteria.
  • Audit-friendly workflow: Documents commands and outputs to maintain an immutable verification trail and reduce ambiguity.

Quick Start

Run the verification commands for your current task, review all outputs, and only declare completion if all checks pass.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce verification before claiming a pull request is ready?

Enforce verification before completion by requiring fresh evidence from verification commands before any success claim. You must run builds, tests, or checks, capture their outputs, and justify completion claims with that evidence before declaring a pull request ready.

What is evidence-driven claims validation in code review?

Evidence-driven claims validation requires running verification commands and reviewing their actual outputs before stating that code work is successful. This mechanism prevents premature success declarations by ensuring an immutable verification trail documents every check and its result.

How do I create an audit-friendly verification trail for builds and tests?

Create an audit-friendly verification trail by specifying verification commands, capturing their fresh outputs, and justifying completion claims with that evidence. This process documents an immutable record of all builds and tests checked before success is declared.

Can I use this verification workflow for deployment checks and status reporting?

Yes, you can use this verification workflow for deployment checks and status reporting. It applies to any process where verification is essential, requiring you to run checks, capture outputs, and validate completion criteria before reporting a successful deployment status.

Why does claiming success prematurely hurt software delivery integrity?

Claiming success prematurely hurts delivery integrity because it allows unverified code or builds to pass quality assurance. Requiring fresh verification evidence before completion prevents these premature success declarations and maintains an audit-friendly trail of actual test and build outputs.

When should I not use an evidence-driven verification process?

You should not skip an evidence-driven verification process when completing code reviews, builds, tests, or deployment checks. It is essential whenever status reporting requires proof, though it may be unnecessary for trivial documentation edits that do not impact code execution or build integrity.
