- # Verification Before Completion
-
- ## Overview
-
- Claiming work is complete without verification is dishonesty, not efficiency.
-
- **Core principle:** Evidence before claims, always.
-
- ## The Iron Law
-
- NO COMPLETION CLAIMS WITHOUT FRESH VERIFICATION EVIDENCE
-
- ## Gate Function
-
- 1. IDENTIFY - What command proves this claim?
+ graph:
+ domains: [domain:software-engineering]
+ skillAreas: [skill-area:agentic-loops, skill-area:orchestration-loop]
+ workflows: [workflow:feature-development]
+ topics: [topic:developer-experience]
+ roles: [role:tech-lead, role:backend-engineer]
2. RUN - Execute the FULL command (fresh, complete)
3. READ - Full output, check exit code
4. VERIFY - Does output confirm the claim?
5. ONLY THEN - Make the claim
## Red Flags
- Using "should", "probably", "seems to"
- Expressing satisfaction before verification
- Trusting agent success reports without independent verification
## Agents Used
- Process agents defined in `verification-before-completion.js`
