SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It prevents premature or dishonest “we’re done” claims by requiring fresh verification evidence before any completion, passing, or success status is communicated.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Evidence-first completion rule: enforces running the actual verification command and reading full output before asserting success.
  • Clear gate checklist: guides identifying the proof command, executing it fully, checking exit codes and failures, and reporting with evidence.
  • Red-flag detection: blocks common failure modes like using “should/probably/seems,” relying on partial checks, or trusting agent-reported success without independent verification.
  • Use case: before committing code, opening a PR, or telling stakeholders tests/builds are passing, you verify with the exact commands that prove the claim.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to “before I say anything is complete, run the required verification command, confirm the exit code and failure counts from the full output, and then report the actual status with evidence.”

Frequently Asked Questions about verification-before-completion

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

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

To prevent false completion claims before opening a PR, enforce an evidence-first rule that executes the exact verification command, checks exit codes and failure counts, and blocks status reports unsupported by fresh output.

What is evidence-first verification in software workflows?

Evidence-first verification requires executing the exact proof command, confirming the exit code and failure counts from full output, and reporting actual status with evidence before asserting any completion.

How do I stop AI agents from reporting overstatement of testing success?

To stop AI agents from overstating testing success, apply red-flag detection to block claims using words like 'should' or 'seems', and require independent verification by executing the proof command and checking the exit code.

How do I check release readiness before committing code?

To check release readiness before committing code, identify the exact verification command for your regression validation or linting, execute it fresh, and only claim success after confirming the exit code shows zero failures.

When should I not use automated status reporting for CI quality?

You should not rely on automated status reporting for CI quality when it trusts agent-reported success without independent verification, uses partial checks, or relies on 'should' or 'probably' assumptions instead of fresh command output.
