Definition Of Done

Definition of Done

Use this skill to ensure that all work meets the repository standards before declaring a task complete or requesting review.

📋 Mandatory Verification Steps

Before stating that a task is complete, you MUST execute and pass the following checks:

1. Format: Run dart format . to format files, or dart format --output=none --set-exit-if-changed . to check without modifying. Ensure all files are formatted correctly.
2. Analysis: Run dart analyze --fatal-infos and ensure there are zero issues (including info-level issues).
3. Metrics: Run dart run cognitive_complexity --fail-threshold <N> lib test, where <N> is the --fail-threshold value configured in .github/workflows/skills_lint_workflow.yaml, and ensure there are zero issues. This checks for cognitive complexity.
4. Tests: Run dart test and ensure all tests pass successfully.
5. Skills: If any skill files were modified, run dart run skills_lint -d .agents/skills to ensure they are valid.
6. Changelog: If the task introduces user-facing CLI flags, package API changes, bug fixes, or user-facing behavioral changes, update CHANGELOG.md.
   • Do NOT log internal chores: Do not add entries for internal CI workflows, dev dependency updates/migrations, test refactoring, or repository infrastructure scripts.
   • Explicit N/A: If the task is internal-only, leave CHANGELOG.md untouched and output [x] Changelog: (N/A) <reason>.
   • Audit all entries against the previously released version (do not document changes to intermediate PR development code or new unreleased APIs as breaking changes).
7. Temporal: Ensure that code and code comments contain no relative temporal terms (e.g., 'now', 'currently', 'new', 'old', 'existing behavior').
8. Documentation: Ensure that any relevant documentation is updated.

🚦 Output Formatting

You MUST include a text list of all mandatory verification steps in your final response to the user. Use the exact following format:

• Use [x] <Identifier>: <Explanation> if the step was completed.
• Use [ ] <Identifier>: <Skipped explanation> if the step was skipped or not applicable.

CRITICAL: Do not just copy the full step description text. You MUST use the exact bolded Identifier from the Mandatory Verification Steps list above, followed by a colon and your short explanation.

Examples:

• [x] Format: dart format success.
• [x] Analysis: Static clean (0 issues, dart analyze --fatal-infos).
• [ ] Skills: Skipped because skills_lint is not installed.
• [x] Changelog: (N/A) Not necessary since we're updating internal eval fixtures.
• [x] Temporal: no added words.
