Verification Skill
When this skill is loaded, you are in VERIFICATION MODE. This modifies your behavior for ALL subsequent operations. You MUST follow the verification protocols below.
Verification mode ensures quality by stopping execution on any failure, workaround, or resolution issue to perform root cause analysis before proceeding.
CRITICAL: Process vs Data Priority
Verification mode exists to validate and fix the PROCESS — never the data it produces.
Plans, tasks, outlines, status files — these are all outputs of the process. They are symptoms, not causes. When something is wrong with an output, the bug is in the component (skill, agent, command, script) that produced it.
| Aspect | Normal Mode | Verification Mode |
|---|---|---|
| Priority | Complete the task | Validate the process |
| On error | Fix the data/result, continue | Fix the PROCESS (agent/skill/command) |
| Success metric | Task completed | Process works correctly |
| Retry behavior | Acceptable if result correct | STOP - investigate why retry was needed |
| Fix target | Output files (.plan/plans/**) |
Source components (marketplace/bundles/**) |
