SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It ensures that before any claim of task completion, success, or passing status, fresh verification commands are run and their output confirmed, preventing false assertions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enforces a step-by-step verification gate: identify command, run it, read output, verify, then claim.
  • Provides tables of common claims and required evidence.
  • Highlights red flags and rationalization prevention to stop shortcuts.
  • Useful for developers, reviewers, and CI pipelines to guarantee evidence‑based status updates before commits, PRs, or handoffs.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to verify that your tests pass by running the appropriate test command and confirming the output before stating the build is successful.

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify tests pass before claiming a development task is complete?

To verify task completion, identify the appropriate test command, execute it fresh, read the output, and confirm a successful exit code before making any success claim. This enforces evidence-based status updates and prevents false assertions.

What is a verification gate in a development cycle?

A verification gate is a step-by-step process requiring fresh command execution and output confirmation before declaring any task complete. It enforces rigorous honesty by demanding evidence reporting for testing, linting, building, and code reviews.

How do I prevent false success claims during code reviews and builds?

Prevent false success claims by requiring fresh command execution, exit-code checks, and evidence reporting before any status update. This process highlights red flags and stops rationalization shortcuts during development cycles.

Can I use automated verification for CI pipeline handoffs and commits?

Yes, you can use this verification process for CI pipelines, commits, PRs, and handoffs. It guarantees evidence-based status updates by requiring developers and reviewers to run commands and confirm output before declaring success.

What are the limitations of relying on manual checks before declaring a build successful?

Manual checks are limited by rationalization and shortcuts, allowing false assertions. A rigorous verification gate stops these red flags by requiring fresh command execution, strict exit-code checks, and explicit evidence reporting before completion.

What's the best way to enforce honest status updates before a pull request?

The best way to enforce honest status updates is applying a verification gate that requires running commands, checking exit codes, and reporting evidence before claiming completion. This prevents false assertions during PRs and handoffs.
