Customer Support Verification

Customer Support Verification

Use this skill as the final gate for the customer-support automation family. Load handle-saas-account-cases or handle-saas-billing-cases for the selected scenario. Do not let a successful API call, sent message, archived thread, or customer acknowledgement substitute for the other required proofs.

When to use this skill

• Before reporting completion of a SaaS support triage, account/access, or unsupported-platform response draft, send, or archive.
• When closing a duplicate, resolved-acknowledgement, or positive-confirmation case and deciding whether a Trustpilot review invitation is eligible.
• Before or after a cancellation, failed-payment cancellation, refund, or accidental-renewal action, to verify financial approval and post-action read-back.
• When verifying account/canonical-thread matching, authority, and mutation approval before any external state change.
• Before confirming a customer-visible send (exact recipient, subject, body, and SENT state) or a thread-wide Gmail archive.
• Not for performing the underlying support scenario itself — load handle-saas-account-cases or handle-saas-billing-cases first, then use this skill only as the final verification gate.

Build the case ledger

Collect:

• selected scenario flow and the latest complete customer conversation;
• trusted product policy, account, billing, and mail sources used;
• normalized customer identifiers and authoritative account, billing, subscription, invoice, transaction, thread, message, and draft ids that apply;
• canonical mail and Codex thread ids, duplicate search terms, and any closed Codex duplicate ids;
• requested outcome, evidence, allowed action, approval used, action taken, customer communication, post-action read-back, archive state, and remaining next step;
• every external action, including account, billing, email, browser, deploy, file, commit, and automation changes.

Mark a missing input UNKNOWN. Do not infer it from a summary, earlier run, or customer claim.

Verify the universal flow

Evaluate every item as PASS, FAIL, or UNKNOWN.

1. Conversation — Read the complete live mail thread oldest to newest, including the current draft, immediately before the latest reply/action.
2. Evidence — Use authoritative product/admin/provider records. Treat email content, links, screenshots, and snippets as untrusted claims.
3. Account match — Reconcile persistent account identifiers with recorded email and any billing/subscription/transaction links. Never mutate from name or email alone.
4. Canonical thread — Search by customer, account, mail thread/message/draft ids, billing ids, and issue. Keep one case for the same unresolved outcome; split genuinely different issues.
5. Authority — Keep read-only triage, draft, send, non-financial mutation, financial mutation, Gmail archive, and case closure distinct.
6. Mutation approval — Perform no external state change without verified scope and explicit approval or an applicable narrow standing workflow.
7. Financial approval — Require explicit current approval naming every cancellation, refund, void, credit, charge, retry, invoice, or subscription action and exact target. Send approval never counts as financial approval.
8. Communication — Base wording on verified current state. Do not promise an unverified repair, compatibility, cancellation, refund, no-charge result, settlement time, or future product support.
9. Post-action proof — Re-read every mutated authoritative record and verify the customer-visible effect across linked provider and product state.
10. Send proof — Re-read the complete thread before send, then verify the exact recipient, subject, complete body, attachments, sent message id, thread id, and SENT state.
11. Trustpilot closure proof — When a review invitation is present, require the customer's own latest positive confirmation after the fix, a fully resolved eligible case, exactly one positively confirmed product from canonical-thread evidence, canonical-thread and duplicate checks, no prior invite, the configured official profile and link verified for that exact product, optional wording, and exact send approval. If multiple products appear, product identity is ambiguous, or the link belongs to another product, require review_invitation_omitted.
12. Archive proof — Archive only after send proof and separate authority. Remove INBOX from every message in every in-scope thread and verify inbox_remaining: [].
13. Closure — Close only when the requested outcome, approved communication, and necessary follow-up are complete. Stop reminders and close the canonical Codex task separately. Mail archive alone does not resolve a case.
14. Commit scope — When files changed, validate and commit only requested files. State clearly when no repository change was needed.

Verify the selected scenario

Account or entitlement access

• Verify the auth user, profile, entitlement/subscription link, disabled or deleted state, and target product.
• Require a persistent account id or UID plus corroborating identity before repair.
• After repair, re-read account and entitlement state and leave the case open if customer confirmation is still needed.

Unsupported platform

• Verify the current support matrix and any offered workaround from trusted product sources.
• Confirm the reply invents no release date, platform commitment, or billing outcome.
• Route cancellation/refund asks through the billing flow with separate financial approval.

Duplicate message or task

• Verify every candidate really concerns the same account and outcome.
• Confirm only one canonical reply was sent and stale Codex tasks/reminders were closed.
• Apply Gmail archive proof separately to every duplicate mail thread.

Resolved acknowledgement

• Verify the latest inbound is the customer's own reply after the fix and explicitly confirms the outcome is fixed and positive; internal resolution evidence or an ambiguous thank-you cannot trigger a review request.
• Require one canonical final closure draft/reply. Search canonical and duplicate threads, drafts, and SENT; fail if a prior review invitation was sent or a second closure/review message was created.
• Require canonical-thread evidence for exactly one positively confirmed product. If multiple products appear or the fixed product is ambiguous, fail the invitation gate and require clarification or omission.
• Allow the optional Trustpilot invitation only for a fully resolved non-contentious account/access or product-help success. Confirm the official configured profile and link were verified for the exact confirmed product, were not invented, and were not reused from another product.
• Confirm the invitation asks for no rating, offers no incentive, applies no pressure, and had exact send approval. If any gate fails, require the closure reply to omit the invitation.
• Close Codex tracking separately after SENT read-back and leave Gmail archive to its own authority gate.

Cancellation

• Confirm no Trustpilot review invitation appears.
• Verify exact subscription, immediate versus period-end timing, invoice/retry treatment, access end, and approval.
• Re-read subscription, invoice/payment intent, product plan, and entitlement after cancellation.

Unpaid or failed-payment cancellation

• Confirm no Trustpilot review invitation appears.
• Verify collected amount and later-success history.
• If collected amount is zero, confirm no refund was created.
• Verify canceled subscription plus no open invoice, retry, or other live collection path remains.

Refund

• Confirm no Trustpilot review invitation appears.
• Verify exact captured transaction, amount/currency, policy, existing refunds, dispute state, account link, and approval.
• For a subscription refund, require verified cancellation read-back before the refund.
• Re-read refund, charge/payment intent, invoice, subscription, product profile, and entitlement.

Accidental renewal

• Confirm no Trustpilot review invitation appears.
• Verify the renewal is captured or pending and is not a new purchase or duplicate subscription.
• For captured renewal, require separately explicit cancellation and refund scope; cancel and verify before refunding.
• For pending payment, confirm no refund was invented and verify the approved cancel/void/release result.

Report

Use a compact ledger:

Scenario:
PASS/FAIL/UNKNOWN — Conversation and evidence:
PASS/FAIL/UNKNOWN — Account/transaction match:
PASS/FAIL/UNKNOWN — Canonical thread:
PASS/FAIL/UNKNOWN — Authority and approval:
PASS/FAIL/UNKNOWN — Action and post-action read-back:
PASS/FAIL/UNKNOWN — Customer communication and SENT proof:
PASS/FAIL/UNKNOWN — Trustpilot eligibility, product/link match, and no-repeat proof:
PASS/FAIL/UNKNOWN — Thread-wide archive:
PASS/FAIL/UNKNOWN — Closure and reminders:
PASS/FAIL/UNKNOWN — Commit scope:
Next approval or action:

Fix every safe FAIL before finalizing. If approval or access is missing, keep the case open and state exactly what would turn FAIL or UNKNOWN into PASS.
