description	Verify the active slice or task against WORK.md, quality gates, and review readiness. Use after implementation or manual changes to decide whether work is ready for sync, review, or cleanup.

Skill: verify

The final gate for a slice or task. Verify truth before reporting progress.

Guardrails

• READ: .workflow/active_task.json, active WORK.md [BRIEF], [PLAN], and [LOG].
• WRITE: WORK.md -> [PLAN] checkboxes and append to [LOG] only.
• NEVER: add Signed-off-by; tell the human to sign if needed.
• NEVER: transition tracker state if verification fails.
• NEVER: delete .workflow task folders without explicit user approval.

Workflow

1. Compare code changes against [BRIEF] and the current [PLAN] slice.
2. Run stated verification commands and available quality gates.
3. Check for AI artifacts: placeholder comments, fake APIs, dead code, inconsistent naming.
4. Confirm commit messages include Conventional Commit format and Assisted-by: [AGENT]:[MODEL] [tools] when AI contributed.
5. If passing, mark the slice checkbox complete in [PLAN] and append verification evidence to [LOG] (Format: YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm AM/PM).
6. Recommend /sync for tracker update, or cleanup if the task is fully merged and user approves.

Output contract

End with:

• Objective met: yes/no
• Verification used
• Slice status
• Tracker sync needed: yes/no
• Next step
