SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Prevents premature or false completion claims by enforcing that all success statements (tests passing, deployments, feature work) are backed by fresh, observable verification evidence rather than assumptions or rationalizations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Verification Gate: Forces a reproducible verification step before any completion claim is allowed.
  • Evidence Collection: Specifies running commands, capturing actual output, and pasting or attaching results as proof.
  • Use Cases: Test runs, build verification, deployment checks, feature demos, regression confirmations, and validating agent reports.

Quick Start

Run the verification commands for the task, capture the output, read it, and only then report the result with pasted evidence.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prevent false completion claims for software deployments and test runs?▼

Prevent false completion claims by enforcing a verification gate that requires running reproducible commands, capturing actual output, and attaching that evidence before any success status is reported.

What is evidence-based verification for agent handoffs and feature demos?▼

Evidence-based verification is a completion gate mechanism requiring fresh, observable proof from executed commands to validate task reports, ensuring agent handoffs and demos are backed by captured output rather than assumptions.

How do I enforce a verification step before allowing task completion?▼

Enforce a verification step by running the specific verification commands for your task, capturing the output, reading the results, and only reporting completion with the pasted evidence attached as proof.

Does this verification gate work for build verification and regression confirmations?▼

Yes, the verification gate applies to software workflows including build verification, regression confirmations, test runs, deployments, and feature demos, requiring fresh observable evidence for each reported success.

Why do my agent reports claim success before tasks are actually complete?▼

Agent reports claim success prematurely when completion statements rely on assumptions or rationalizations instead of fresh, observable verification evidence captured from actual command output.

What are the limitations of using verification evidence for completion claims?▼

The limitation is that every completion claim requires actively running verification commands and reading captured output, meaning tasks without reproducible verification steps cannot be validated through this evidence-based gate.
