Verification Before Completion Conventions

Overview

REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Invoke superpowers:verification-before-completion — it owns the "evidence before assertions" discipline itself. This skill adds one structural requirement for how the result gets reported.

Rules

  • Never claim work is complete, fixed, or passing checks until the corresponding commands have actually been run in the current working tree — not "should pass," not "this looks right."
  • Verify through the project's own affected-unit runner (e.g. its build/test task runner, scoped to the specific app/package touched) rather than a generic "run everything" command.
  • End the report with three explicit parts: which checks were run, their result, and any remaining risks — every time, not just when something failed.
  • If a check wasn't run or failed, say so explicitly — don't omit it or soften it into "should be fine."
