SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The /certify skill prevents new developers or returning consultants from claiming work they do not truly know how to perform by enforcing a structured, 100% passing knowledge gate before they proceed.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Brief → Probe → Gate workflow: runs a fixed brief phase to capture the current context, then a probe against a curated question bank, and finally a strict gate requiring full pass.
  • Zero-assistance discipline: blocks operational assistance during the probe/gate window using a structural guard (lockfile + retrieval block hook) and a required one-sentence refusal for help requests.
  • Cryptographically-integrity-preserving pass receipts: records results via reserved journal slots and appends signed body-anchor coordination-log records to prevent forgery and tampering.
  • Targeted retry loop: if any question fails, the operator re-reads the cited spec section and retries the failed questions until all pass.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to run the certify procedure for a new operator before they claim their first non-trivial work.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce a strict knowledge gate for new developer onboarding?▼

To enforce a strict knowledge gate during onboarding, run a brief-to-probe assessment against a curated question bank that requires a 100% pass before granting work claim readiness. This blocks operators from proceeding until they demonstrate full mastery of the repository's institutional knowledge.

Can I require a 100% passing score before allowing consultants to claim work?▼

Yes, you can require a 100% passing score before allowing consultants to claim work by running a strict certification gate. The probe assesses mastery of critical rule and spec corpus changes, deferring any operator who fails to achieve a complete pass on the knowledge assessment.

What happens if an operator fails a question during the certification probe?▼

If an operator fails a question during the certification probe, a targeted retry loop is triggered. The operator must re-read the cited spec section and retry only the failed questions until all answers pass the strict validation gate.

How are certification pass or defer outcomes recorded for tamper prevention?▼

Certification pass or defer outcomes are recorded using reserved journal slots and cryptographically signed body-anchor coordination logs. This integrity-preserving receipt mechanism prevents forgery and tampering by appending signed records of the assessment results.
