Use when about to claim work is complete, fixed, or passing, or before committing or opening a PR.
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
<skill>
<purpose>
Claiming work is complete without verification is dishonesty, not efficiency. Evidence before claims, always. Violating the letter of this rule is violating the spirit.
</purpose>
<triggers>
<rule>Use before ANY success/completion claim, expression of satisfaction, or positive statement about work state.</rule>
<rule>Use before committing, PR creation, task completion, moving to next task.</rule>
</triggers>
<warning level="hard">
NO COMPLETION CLAIMS WITHOUT FRESH VERIFICATION EVIDENCE. If you haven't run the verification command in this message, you cannot claim it passes.
</warning>
<process>
<step>**IDENTIFY** — What command proves this claim?</step>
<step>**RUN** — Execute the FULL command (fresh, complete).</step>
<step>**READ** — Full output, check exit code, count failures.</step>
<step>**VERIFY** — Does output confirm the claim? If NO: state actual status with evidence. If YES: state claim WITH evidence.</step>
<step>**ONLY THEN** — Make the claim.</step>
</process>

How to install
mdr add brandonfla/bearpaws/verification-before-completion@sha256:4bb3eb824e66e37dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261103.59550d9, 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.
