Verification Before Completion
Custom Guide
bash "<plugin-root>/lib/load-custom-guide.sh" cf-verification
If the block above printed anything, apply only the ## Before, ## Rules, and ## After sections; if it shows the raw command instead of output, re-run that exact load-custom-guide.sh fence now.
The Gate
No completion claims without fresh verification evidence.
Claiming work is complete without verification is dishonesty, not efficiency.
When to Auto-Invoke
Auto-invoke this skill after tasks that produce or modify code (implementation, bug fixes, refactoring).
Do NOT auto-invoke after analysis-only skills that don't change code:
/cf-review— code review is analysis, not implementation/cf-plan— planning doesn't produce code/cf-ask— Q&A doesn't produce code/cf-research— research doesn't produce code
Checklist
Before claiming ANY task is done:
- Run tests — Execute the test suite. Read the output. All tests must pass.
- Run the build — If applicable, build the project. No errors.
- Lint/format — If configured, run linter. No new warnings.
- Manual check — For UI changes, verify visually. For API changes, test the endpoint.
- Show evidence — Include test output, build output, or screenshots in your response.
- Slop check — Scan changed code for AI transmarks, excessive comments, unnecessary verbosity.
What Counts as Evidence
| Good Evidence | Bad Evidence |
|---|---|
| Test output showing all pass | "I believe the tests pass" |
| Build output with exit code 0 | "The build should work" |
| Actual command output | "I ran the tests" (without output) |
| Screenshot of UI change | "The UI looks correct" |
git diff showing the change |
"I made the change" |
Common Failures
- Tests pass
- No type errors (TypeScript/typed languages)
- Linter clean
- Build succeeds
- No console errors/warnings
- Feature works as described
- No regressions in existing functionality
