After completing a phase or task, verify the output before moving on. Do not skip this step.
Process
1. Load the plan
Read the plan file from ./plans/ (or the PRD if no plan exists). Identify the acceptance criteria for the current phase.
2. Check each criterion
For every acceptance criterion, verify:
- Does the implementation satisfy this criterion?
- Can you demonstrate it works? (run tests, check output, read the code)
- Are there regressions in previously completed phases?
3. Report results
Output a checklist:
## Verification: Phase N
- [x] Criterion 1 — PASS
- [ ] Criterion 2 — FAIL: [brief reason]
- [x] Criterion 3 — PASS
Result: PASS / FAIL
4. Act on results
- All PASS: Proceed to next phase. Commit working state.
- Any FAIL: Fix the failing criteria before moving on. Do not start the next phase with known failures.
Why this matters
Errors caught at $0.01 in this phase cost $1.00 to fix two phases later. Verify early, verify often.
