SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill enforces verification before declaring that work is complete, ensuring fresh evidence is produced and no premature success claims are made.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Gate-style verification: mandates running verification commands and reviewing outputs before any status update.
  • Universal applicability: usable across development tasks such as tests, linting, builds, and pull requests to preserve honesty and traceability.
  • Audit-ready evidence: produces a reproducible trail of verification steps and outcomes for accountability.

Quick Start

Run the verification commands and confirm outputs before making any success claims.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce verification before claiming a build is complete?

To enforce verification before claiming a build is complete, run your verification commands and review their outputs before updating any task status. This prevents premature assertions by mandating fresh evidence.

What is gate-style verification for pull requests?

Gate-style verification for pull requests mandates running tests, lint checks, and builds, then assessing their outputs. It ensures work is only declared complete after producing fresh, traceable evidence.

How do I prevent premature success claims in software development?

Prevent premature success claims by running verification commands and confirming their outputs before declaring success. This approach preserves honesty and traceability across tests, linting, and pull requests.

Can I use this verification approach across different development tasks?

Yes, you can use this verification approach universally across development tasks such as tests, linting, builds, and pull requests to preserve honesty and ensure audit-ready evidence for accountability.

How do I produce audit-ready evidence for my software claims?

Produce audit-ready evidence by running verification commands and capturing their outputs before declaring work complete. This generates a reproducible trail of verification steps and outcomes for accountability.

What's the best way to ensure traceability before declaring work done?

The best way to ensure traceability before declaring work done is to run verification commands, assess their outputs, and only then claim success. This prevents premature assertions and produces fresh evidence.
