SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents premature claims of work completion, ensuring that all necessary verification steps are performed before any assertion of success is made, thereby maintaining honesty and preventing costly errors.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Mandatory Verification: Enforces running specific verification commands before declaring a task complete, fixed, or passing.
  • Evidence-Based Claims: Requires concrete output from verification commands as proof before making any success claims.
  • Use Case: Before committing code, running tests, or merging a pull request, this Skill ensures you execute the relevant validation commands and review their output to confirm the work is genuinely complete and correct.

Quick Start

Always run the verification command and check its output before stating that work is complete.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prevent false positive claims of task completion during code review?

To prevent false positive claims of task completion, enforce a strict protocol requiring explicit verification command execution and output review before making any success assertions. This evidence-based validation prevents premature completion claims and maintains work integrity.

What is evidence-based verification for software deployment and testing?

Evidence-based verification for software deployment and testing is a protocol requiring concrete output from verification commands as proof before any success claims are made. It mandates running specific validation commands and reviewing their output to confirm work is genuinely complete and correct.

How to verify code fixes before merging a pull request?

To verify code fixes before merging a pull request, execute relevant validation commands and review their concrete output to confirm the work is complete. This protocol requires explicit verification command execution at all stages, from development to deployment, to prevent costly errors.

Does mandatory verification work for quality assurance without external dependencies?

Yes, mandatory verification works for quality assurance without external dependencies by enforcing a strict protocol of evidence-based claims. It requires running specific verification commands and reviewing their concrete output before declaring any task complete, fixed, or passing.

When should I not use evidence-based completion assertions?

You should not use evidence-based completion assertions when you cannot execute explicit verification commands or review their output. The protocol requires concrete validation output as proof, making it unsuitable for stages of work where running specific verification commands is not possible.
