Load this after a claim, fix, rewrite, migration, generated artifact, or handoff needs proof before it is trusted. The skill owns post-claim and post-change verification.
Use it when the work is already asserted as done, correct, aligned, or improved, and the next responsible move is to test that assertion against evidence.
Do not use this for initial inspection, root-cause diagnosis, mode selection, decision packaging, or action-forcing. It starts after there is something specific to verify.
Return the claim, verification performed, result, and any remaining unverified surface.
Use when the direct message or commitment handoff needs the right register. Owns tone and candor only.
Use when agency, obligation, and fear are tangled. Owns ownership sorting only.
Use to extend a live idea with one useful angle. Owns additive thinking only, not mode selection or action forcing.
Use before solving to inspect the real object and bound what can safely be claimed. Owns pre-solution contact only, not diagnosis or verification.
Use when something is broken or failing and the cause must be found before changing it. Owns failure diagnosis only.
Use when a canned frame would obscure the real object. Owns rejection of default scripts only.
