Prevents premature completion claims by requiring fresh verification evidence before status updates, PRs, or releases.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enforces evidence-based status reporting before any completion claim.
  • Guides multi-mode verification (Normal, Autopilot, Full-auto) with guardrails and escalation.
  • Provides auditable references and actionable verification steps to maintain quality and trust.

Quick Start

Run the verification workflow to gather fresh evidence before claiming completion.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prevent premature completion claims in automated software processes?

Prevent premature completion claims by requiring fresh verification evidence before any status updates or releases. This approach enforces evidence-based status reporting, ensuring code quality claims are backed by actual verification command outputs rather than assumptions.

What is evidence-based status reporting in code review guardrails?

Evidence-based status reporting is a software process guardrail that requires running fresh verification commands, reading their outputs, and reporting completion status only after the evidence supports the claim. It maintains quality and trust by providing auditable references.

How do I set up verification workflows across Normal, Autopilot, and Full-auto modes?

Set up verification workflows by applying gate-and-verify requirements across Normal, Autopilot, and Full-auto modes. Each mode has corresponding command behavior with guardrails and escalation paths, requiring you to identify the verification command, run it fresh, and read outputs before reporting.

Can I use automated verification to gate pull requests before claiming completion?

Yes, you can use automated verification to gate pull requests by requiring fresh verification evidence before PRs are created. The process identifies the verification command, runs it fresh, reads outputs, and only allows completion claims when evidence supports them.

Why does my automation workflow report task completion without running verification first?

Automation workflows report completion without verification when gate-and-verify requirements are not enforced. Requiring fresh verification evidence, running the verification command, and reading its outputs before status updates prevents these premature completion claims.
