Use when about to claim work is complete, fixed, or passing, before committing or creating PRs - requires running verification commands and confirming output before making any success claims; evidence before assertions always.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

Done? `/skill:finishing-a-development-branch`. # Verification Before Completion ## Overview Claiming work is complete without verification is dishonesty, not efficiency. **Core principle:** Evidence before claims, always. **Violating the letter of this rule is violating the spirit of this rule.** If a tool result contains a ⚠️ workflow warning, stop immediately and address it before continuing. ## Boundaries - Run verification commands: yes - Read code and output: yes - Edit source code: no ## The Iron Law ``` NO COMPLETION CLAIMS WITHOUT FRESH VERIFICATION EVIDENCE ``` If you haven't run the verification command in this message, you cannot claim it passes. ## The Gate Function ``` BEFORE claiming any status or expressing satisfaction: 1. IDENTIFY: What command proves this claim? 2. RUN: Execute the full command for the claim from step 1 (fresh, complete, unabridged) 3. READ: Full output, check exit code, count failures 4. VERIFY: Does output confirm the claim? - If NO: State actual status with evidence - If YES: State claim WITH evidence 5. ONLY THEN: Make the claim …

How to install
mdr add jjuraszek/pi-gauntlet/verification-before-completion@sha256:666159fa6530658aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.c79e361, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
