SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enforces verification before claiming completion or success, ensuring honesty and evidence-based reporting in software workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Mandatory verification step: Requires executing a verification command and reviewing its output before making a completion claim.
  • Scope of application: Applies during code changes, builds, tests, and PR approvals to prevent premature statements.
  • Evidence-driven decisions: Produces a verifiable trail of outputs to back assertions about the state of work.

Quick Start

Run the verification command before claiming completion, then validate that the output confirms success before reporting it.

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

Verification before completion requires running a dedicated verification command, capturing its full output and exit status, and validating the results against predefined criteria before claiming a pull request is complete.

What is evidence-based reporting in software development workflows?▼

Evidence-based reporting in software development is the practice of producing a verifiable trail of command outputs and exit statuses to back assertions about the state of code changes, builds, and tests before reporting success.

How do I prevent premature completion claims during code changes and tests?▼

You prevent premature completion claims during code changes and tests by executing a verification command, reviewing its output to confirm success, and reporting evidence only after validating the results against your criteria.

Does this verification process require specific test frameworks or dependencies?▼

No specific test frameworks or dependencies are required. This verification process applies a mandatory verification step to any command execution, capturing output and exit status to validate results across software workflows.

Why does my build verification fail to prevent false success claims in PR approvals?▼

Build verification fails to prevent false success claims if you do not validate the command's exit status and output against strict criteria before reporting completion, which is required to ensure honesty in pull request approvals.
