Use before claiming "done", "fixed", "tests pass", "deployed", "loop complete", or closing an issue. Block false completion claims by requiring a specific claim, fresh verification, output inspection, comparison, and evidence-backed reporting.
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.
What the file says
# Verification Before Completion > WHEN: Any time the active agent is about to claim work is finished -- "done", "complete", "fixed", "tests pass", "loop complete", "ready for review", "deployed", "issue closed". The single most common Frontier failure mode is reporting completion that fresh verification would have caught. ## When to Use This Skill Load this skill when: - An Engineer agent is about to close an issue or run `frontier loop complete` - A Reviewer agent is about to set `APPROVED` - A Tester agent is about to mark a test plan green - A DevOps agent is about to claim a deployment succeeded - Any agent is about to report results in chat without having re-run the check on the current commit Skip when: - The work is purely exploratory and no completion claim is being made - The user has explicitly asked for a partial / in-progress report ## Prerequisites - Access to the verification surface (test runner, CLI, build, app under test, deployed URL) - Knowledge of the exact command that proves the claim - Current commit SHA or build identifier to anchor the evidence ## Rationalization Table Reject these six verification shortcuts. | Rationalization | Reality | …

How to install
mdr add jnpiyush/agentx/verification-before-completion@sha256:6d52a6a51c73ce28The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261010.87e53aa, 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.
