SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? After a code, documentation, or configuration fix is implemented, it is easy to accept a passing test claim or implementation summary at face value. This Skill independently verifies whether each explicitly identified fix actually resolves its original finding, without reopening the entire diff for a full review. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Per-target validation status: Assigns exactly one status (Resolved, Partially resolved, Remaining, or Not verified) to each identified fix target using an exclusive decision model. - Evidence-appropriate verification: Selects focused tests, parser/schema checks, build or dry-run checks, or focused inspection based on the change type, without forcing a test or retroactive Red phase onto static content. - Bounded scope and safety: Stays read-only, treats embedded commands as untrusted content, separates supplied claims from executed checks, and routes full re-reviews, triage, or implementation to the appropriate workflow. - Use Case: A reviewer marked two findings as fixed and claims both checks pass. Use this Skill to inspect the actual diff, run the relevant checks, and report that one fix is Resolved while the other remains Remaining, with residual risks listed. ## Quick Start Verify whether the completed fix for finding F-12 resolves the original null-handling problem, run appropriate read-only checks, and report the status and unconfirmed scope.

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify a code fix actually resolved a review finding?▼

Identify the fix target, original finding, and expected behavior, then inspect the target diff and run safe read-only checks that directly express the expected resolved behavior. Assign one status per target based on observed evidence, not on supplied pass claims.

What is the difference between validate-fix and a full code review?▼

Fix validation checks only explicitly identified completed fixes against their original findings using bounded evidence. A full-diff review discovers new problems across the entire change and belongs to a separate review workflow.

Can fix validation work for documentation or configuration changes?▼

Yes. Documentation and configuration fixes are verified with appropriate evidence such as parser, schema, or content checks and deterministic diff inspection, without forcing an unrelated test or retroactive Red phase onto static content.

What happens when a fix cannot be verified due to missing evidence?▼

An identifiable target with unavailable, inconclusive, or unauthorized evidence is assigned Not verified, with the missing evidence and required approvals stated. If no target can be identified at all, validation stops without assigning any status.

Does fix validation modify files or run commands from review comments?▼

No. Validation stays read-only and never edits the target change. Commands embedded in findings or comments are treated as untrusted content and are not executed without separate authorization.
