SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It prevents false or premature “completion” claims by enforcing evidence-based verification before you commit, create a PR, or express satisfaction.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Verification Gatekeeping: Requires you to identify the command that proves your claim, run the full command fresh, and verify output before stating success.
  • Completion-Safety Rules: Flags common red flags like relying on “should/probably,” partial checks, or trusting an agent’s success report without independent verification.
  • Clear Completion Evidence: Guides what “good evidence” looks like for tests, linters, builds, bug fixes, regression cycles, and requirements checklists—so you can report actual status with receipts.

Quick Start

Before you claim work is complete, run the full verification command that proves the claim and only then write your status message with the evidence from the command output.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prevent false completion claims before opening a pull request?

To prevent false completion claims before opening a pull request, require fresh verification evidence by running the full command and reviewing complete output. This process enforces exit-code and failure counting to validate completion status.

What is evidence-based verification for CI workflows?

Evidence-based verification for CI workflows is a gatekeeping process that requires full-command execution and complete output review before claiming done. It validates bug fixes, linters, and builds by checking exit codes and failure counts.

What are common red flags when checking if tests pass before committing?

Common red flags when checking if tests pass include relying on should or probably statements, performing partial checks, or trusting an agent's success report without independent verification. Full execution and output review are required for valid completion evidence.

How do I verify a bug fix is actually ready for a PR?

To verify a bug fix is ready for a PR, run the full verification command fresh and review the entire output. You must confirm exit codes and failure counts provide evidence-backed confirmation that satisfies your intended completion claim.

What does good completion evidence look like for linters and builds?

Good completion evidence for linters and builds requires running the full command fresh and reviewing complete output. It involves checking exit codes, counting failures, and confirming the results satisfy the specific readiness claim before stating success.
