SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill ensures that any claim of completion is backed by fresh verification evidence, preventing dishonest or premature success statements.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enforces a disciplined verification workflow before reporting success.
  • Guides teams to identify the proving command, execute it fully, and assess the output with evidence.
  • Use cases include code reviews, PR approvals, and release readiness discussions where verification is mandatory.

Quick Start

Identify a command that proves the claim, run the command in full, read and verify the output, and only then state the claim with evidence.

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify code before claiming completion in a pull request?

Verification before completion prevents premature success statements by enforcing a process to identify a proving command, execute it fully, and interpret the output. It ensures claims are backed by fresh evidence during code reviews, PR approvals, and release readiness discussions.

How do I enforce quality-assurance checks before finalizing a commit?

Quality-assurance checks before finalizing a commit require identifying a proving command, running it in full, and verifying the results. This process guarantees that completion claims are supported by actual evidence rather than assumptions before reporting success.

What is the best way to back up completion claims with CI evidence?

The best way to back up completion claims with CI evidence is to run the full proving command, read and interpret the output, and verify the results. This guarantees that any reported success is backed by fresh, verifiable evidence.

Do I need to run CI checks manually to verify results before a release?

You need to run proving commands fully and interpret their output to verify results before a release. This ensures that all completion claims are backed by fresh verification evidence, preventing dishonest or premature success statements during release readiness checks.

Why does stating completion without verification cause problems in code review?

Stating completion without verification causes problems because claims lack fresh evidence. Without identifying and running a proving command to verify the output, code reviews risk accepting premature or dishonest success statements.

Can I use this verification workflow for any software project?

You can use this verification workflow across software projects where verification is required before reporting success. It applies whenever preparing to commit, create PRs, or finalize work, ensuring completion claims are always backed by fresh evidence.
