SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the costly problem of premature success claims that lead to wasted rework cycles, broken trust in status reports, and shipping of incomplete or broken work to production.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured Verification Gate: Provides a 5-step process to run full verification commands, review output, and confirm claims with evidence before stating work is complete.
  • Failure Pattern Detection: Highlights common red flags and rationalizations that lead to skipped verification, such as trusting agent success reports or assuming tests pass without running them.
  • Use Case: Before committing code or creating a pull request, use this Skill to confirm all tests and builds pass with actual command output instead of making unverified assumptions.

Quick Start

Use the verify skill to confirm all tests pass with fresh command output before claiming your code changes are complete.

Frequently Asked Questions about verify

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify code changes before creating a pull request?▼

Preventing premature success claims in software development requires running full verification commands, reviewing actual output, and checking exit codes to enforce evidence-based status reporting before stating work is complete.

How do I stop agents from claiming tasks are complete without running tests?▼

To stop agents from claiming tasks are complete without running tests, apply a structured verification gate that requires executing commands and reviewing exit codes before accepting any agent success reports.

What are common red flags that lead to skipped code verification?▼

Common red flags that lead to skipped code verification include trusting agent success reports without evidence, assuming tests pass without running them, and relying on rationalizations to bypass output review before commits.

Does this verification approach work with standard commit and pull request workflows?▼

Yes, this verification approach works with standard commit and pull request workflows by applying a 5-step process to confirm work state with fresh command output before finalizing code commits or creating pull requests.

Why does unverified work cause rework cycles in software development?▼

Unverified work causes rework cycles in software development because premature success claims lead to broken trust in status reports and the shipping of incomplete or broken deliverables to production environments.
