SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

In fast-moving multi-agent workflows, teams often claim completion without fresh verification. This skill enforces a gate that requires running verification commands and reviewing their outputs before any success claim is made.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enforces a fresh-verification requirement for completion claims across tasks, builds, and reviews.
  • Attaches command outputs and verification evidence to final status reports for auditability.
  • Works across agent pipelines and can be integrated into PR closure or deployment checklists.

Quick Start

Load the skill and run a fresh verification command before declaring completion.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce fresh verification evidence before claiming task completion?

A verification gate prevents task completion by requiring fresh command outputs and exit codes before any status claim is finalized. It ensures agents attach live evidence to their final reports for full auditability.

What is a fresh-verification requirement in multi-agent workflows?

A fresh-verification requirement mandates running and capturing new command outputs immediately before declaring success. It prevents stale data from masking failures in fast-moving multi-agent deployment pipelines.

How do I attach verification evidence to a PR closure or deployment checklist?

Integrate a completion gate into your PR closure or deployment checklist that captures live command outputs and exit codes. The gate blocks closure until fresh evidence is reviewed and appended to the status report.

Does this verification gate work with existing CI pipelines and agent reviews?

Yes, the verification gate works across agent pipelines and integrates into existing CI workflows and review steps. It applies end-to-end status checks to ensure completion claims are backed by fresh outputs.

Why do teams claim completion without fresh verification in automated workflows?

Teams claim completion without fresh verification because fast-moving multi-agent workflows often skip final status checks to save time. This leads to unverified success claims that lack attached command outputs and auditability.

When should I not use an evidence-first completion gate?

Avoid an evidence-first completion gate in exploratory workflows where fresh command outputs cannot be reliably captured. It is designed for tasks requiring strict auditability and definitive exit codes.
