SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill enforces evidence-based completion, ensuring no completion claims are made without fresh verification output.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enforces a step-by-step verification workflow before status claims or PRs.
  • Requires executing the full verification command, reading its output, and validating exit codes and failures.
  • Provides guidance and guardrails to prevent false success claims.

Quick Start

Identify the claim to verify, run the full verification command, and report the exact evidence before asserting success.

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify code changes before claiming completion in a pull request?

To verify code changes before claiming completion, you must execute the full verification command, evaluate its output, and confirm exit codes show no failures. This enforces evidence-based QA workflows by requiring fresh proof before asserting success.

What is evidence-based verification in software QA?

Evidence-based verification in software QA is a strict protocol requiring execution of verification commands and evaluation of their outputs before any completion claim is made. It prevents false success claims by demanding fresh output as proof during code review.

How do I stop false success claims during code review?

You stop false success claims during code review by enforcing a step-by-step verification workflow. This process requires running the full verification command, reading its output, and validating exit codes to ensure completion claims are backed by fresh evidence.

Does the verification workflow require executing the full command or just checking the exit code?

The verification workflow requires executing the full command and reading its output, not just checking the exit code. It enforces a strict protocol to identify the verification command, execute it fully, and verify the results before making any completion claim.

When do I need to run verification commands before merging a pull request?

You need to run verification commands before merging a pull request whenever you intend to make a completion claim. The workflow enforces executing the command fully and evaluating the output to provide fresh evidence that proves the claim is valid.

What are the limitations of enforcing a strict verification workflow?

The limitation of enforcing a strict verification workflow is that it requires fully executing the verification command and reading the complete output every time a completion claim is made, which may add overhead to the pull request and code review process.
