Trust But Verify
Verify that a feature implementation actually matches its plan by testing it in a real browser.
Core principle: Plans describe intent. Code describes implementation. Only the browser shows reality. This skill bridges all three — reading the plan, analyzing the diff, and verifying the result in a live browser.
When to Use
- After completing a feature branch and before merging
- When a plan exists in
docs/plans/for the current work - When the diff touches frontend source files (UI changes)
- When you want confidence that the UI matches the spec
- When recommended by
superpowers:finishing-a-development-branch
Not for: Backend-only changes, API-only work, or branches without a plan.
