SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Teams and automated agents often claim work is complete without running the necessary verification steps, which causes broken releases, lost trust, and wasted rework. This Skill enforces a simple gate: run the exact verification command, inspect its full output and exit code, and only then assert success.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Gate checklist: Identify the proof command, run it fresh and complete, read the full output and exit code, and only then make success claims.
  • Common scenarios: Use before committing or creating pull requests, after agent-driven changes, during regression testing (red-green verification), and before marking tasks or sprints as done.
  • Failure handling: If verification fails, report the actual status with evidence and next steps rather than asserting completion.

Quick Start

Before declaring work complete, run the exact verification command, read the full output and exit code, and then state the result with concrete evidence.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prevent false completion claims before creating a pull request?

Run the exact verification command fresh, read its full output and exit code, and only then assert success with concrete evidence. This prevents false completion claims before creating a pull request by requiring actual proof.

Why does my CI agent claim code quality checks pass without running tests?

Your CI agent likely lacks a verification gate. Require it to execute the full test command, inspect the output and exit code, and include concrete evidence before stating any positive status or claiming code quality checks pass.

What is pre-commit verification evidence and how does it work?

Pre-commit verification evidence is the fresh output and exit code from running your exact proof command, such as tests or linters. It works by acting as a gate that blocks any success claim until you inspect the complete output.

How do I enforce red-green regression testing verification on automated agents?

Enforce red-green regression testing verification by requiring automated agents to run the exact test command, inspect the full output and exit code, and report the actual status with evidence rather than asserting completion blindly.

What's the best way to verify a bug fix before marking a sprint task as done?

The best way to verify a bug fix before marking a sprint task as done is to run the exact verification command fresh, read its full output and exit code, and only state success if the evidence proves it passed.

What should I do if my pre-commit verification command fails?

If your pre-commit verification command fails, report the actual status with the output evidence and outline the next steps to fix it, rather than asserting completion or claiming the work is done.
