You MUST use this when work is about to be called complete, done, fixed, ready, or mergeable - before a completion claim, a merge or pull request, a branch finish, or a handoff report.

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 Gate

## When to use and responsibility

Apply this gate before calling material work complete, fixed, ready, or mergeable,
including review completion, PR creation, branch finishing, and handoff reports.

```text
NO COMPLETION CLAIM WITHOUT FRESH EVIDENCE
```

Input: the proposed completion claims, requirements, expected scope, and current tree.
Output: an attributable evidence matrix and a verdict for that exact claim set and tree.
Reading this skill or finishing its checklist supplies no evidence of the work's success.

Non-goals: implementation, debugging methodology, test-framework guidance, code review,
branch management, deployment, and subagent orchestration. Route these to their owners.
Keep evidence in the current session or the active workflow's existing record. Do not
create `.sdd/` or any persistent verification state, directory, ledger, or cache.

## 1. Enumerate claims before choosing commands

Ask what is about to be claimed. Split broad statements into observable promises, each
with its acceptance boundary: tests pass, the original bug no longer occurs, the build
succeeds, the feature works in a browser, or a migration preserves data.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add sentimony/skills/verification-gate@sha256:830c40bd0d70079d

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.0.12, 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.
