Verification Before Completion skill review

Requires fresh evidence from real commands before claiming that work is fixed, passing, or complete.

Verdict

The counterweight to optimistic agents: it requires fresh command output as evidence before any claim that work is fixed, passing, or complete. Pairing it with a planning or implementation skill removes most false success reports.

Best for

Any change where “it should work” is not good enough and the agent has a command it can actually run.

Keep in mind

It cannot manufacture a verification path where none exists, and on projects without runnable checks it degrades into a reminder rather than proof.

Example task

Before telling me the migration is done, run the test suite and the local smoke script and show me the output of both.
