Verifying Completion
Mandatory checklist before declaring ANY worldbuilding task complete.
Checklist
For EVERY file created or modified:
- Frontmatter — YAML with title, tags, status
- Content — No TODO, placeholder, TBD, "will flesh out", empty sections
- Cross-References — All links resolve, relative paths correct
- Glossary & Timeline — New terms in GLOSSARY.md, events in MASTER-TIMELINE.md, _index.md updated
- Canon Consistency — Obeys upstream science, naming correct, no contradictions
- Writing Standards — Academic prose in science dirs, no meta-commentary
Red Flags — DO NOT Declare Complete If:
- Any section heading has no content below it
- Any cross-reference doesn't resolve
- "placeholder" or "TODO" appears anywhere
- A new term was introduced but not added to GLOSSARY.md
Out of Scope
Does NOT write content. Does NOT audit the full repo.
