Evidence Gate

Evidence comes before status. Do not say work is complete, fixed, passing, ready, committed, pushed, PR-ready, or handoff-ready until the current turn includes evidence for that exact claim.

When to use

• Before saying a task is done or fixed
• Before committing or pushing
• Before opening or updating a PR
• Before marking an issue ready for review or done
• Before handing work to another agent or human
• After an agent, tool, or CI job reports success
