SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Completion claims are backed by fresh verification evidence.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enforces a deterministic verification workflow before declaring completion.
  • Requires running fresh verification commands and evaluating their outputs to determine status.
  • Useful in development, code reviews, and release gates to ensure claims are backed by evidence.

Quick Start

Run the verification command freshly, read the full output, and only claim success with explicit evidence.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce verification evidence before claiming task completion in a development workflow?

Verification evidence is enforced by running fresh verification commands and evaluating their full output before claiming completion. This deterministic workflow ensures development tasks, PR reviews, and deployment gates are backed by concrete proof of success.

What is the step-by-step process for code quality gating before deployment?

Code quality gating follows a 5-step process: IDENTIFY the required verification commands, RUN them freshly, READ the complete output, VERIFY the results meet expectations, and only THEN CLAIM completion status with explicit evidence.

Can I use verification gating for pull request reviews and release gates?

Yes, verification gating applies directly to pull request reviews and release gates. It ensures completion claims are backed by fresh evidence from freshly executed verification commands, making it suitable for CI workflows and deployment gating.

What's the best way to prevent false completion claims during continuous integration?

Prevent false completion claims by enforcing a deterministic workflow that requires running fresh verification commands and reading their full output. Only after validating results can a completion status be claimed, ensuring quality assurance in CI pipelines.

Why should I require fresh verification command execution instead of relying on previous results?

Fresh verification command execution is required because completion claims must be backed by current evidence. Relying on previous results risks false positives, so the workflow mandates running commands anew and reading the full output before declaring success.

Does the verification-before-completion workflow require any external dependencies or CI tools?

No external dependencies or CI tools are required. The workflow operates as a standalone 5-step process—IDENTIFY, RUN, READ, VERIFY, CLAIM—governing completion status through fresh command execution and output validation in any development environment.
