SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Claiming work as complete without verification is risky and misleading; this skill enforces evidence-driven completion checks to protect quality.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enforces a stepwise verification workflow before any success claim.
  • Guides users to run the required commands, review outputs, and validate exit codes.
  • Applicable to PR merges, release checks, and task handovers to ensure honest reporting.

Quick Start

Run the verification sequence to generate fresh evidence and only claim success if the output confirms verification.

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify task completion before claiming work is done?

Verifying task completion requires running required commands, reviewing outputs, and validating exit codes to generate fresh evidence before asserting success. This enforces a stepwise workflow ensuring honest reporting for software development tasks.

What does evidence-driven verification mean for software development?

Evidence-driven verification means running tests and validations to produce fresh output confirming success before claiming completion. It protects quality by ensuring claims are backed by recently generated proof rather than assumptions.

How do I enforce fresh test runs before PR approvals and release checks?

Enforce fresh test runs before PR approvals by applying a stepwise verification workflow that requires executing commands, reading outputs, and confirming passing results. Only claim success if the generated evidence validates the work.

Do I need to run validation commands manually for completion governance?

Yes, completion governance requires actively running validation commands and reading their outputs to confirm results. The workflow guides users through executing verifications and checking exit codes before authorizing any success claims.

What is the best way to ensure honest reporting during task handovers?

The best way to ensure honest reporting during task handovers is to enforce evidence-driven completion checks. This requires running verifications, reading outputs, and confirming passing results before asserting that work is complete.

Why does claiming task completion without validation cause problems?

Claiming completion without validation is risky and misleading because it lacks proof of passing tests. Enforcing fresh verification before success claims protects quality by requiring evidence of actual results.
