| description | Mandatory checklist before claiming a task is done. Ensures verification, clean code, and accurate reporting. Use before saying "done" or "complete". |
Verification Before Completion
Before reporting a task as done, run through this checklist.
When to use this skill
- before telling the user a task is complete
- before moving to the next plan step
- before writing a review or execution summary
The checklist
- Requirements — Re-read the task description. Confirm all requirements are met and no details or edge cases were missed.
- Tests — Run the full test suite, not just the tests you wrote. Confirm all pass.
- Code cleanliness — Remove commented-out code, debug prints, and placeholder TODOs.
- Warnings — Check for and resolve linter warnings, compiler warnings, and deprecation notices.
- Verification commands — Run the exact verification commands from the plan step. Confirm expected output.
- Documentation — Update relevant docs if you changed behavior, APIs, CLI flags, or configuration.
Statement of completion
When you announce completion, include:
- What you did (1-2 lines)
- How you verified it (exact commands + results)
Example: "Step 3 complete. Added auth middleware to lib/auth/plug.ex. Verified: mix test test/auth/ — 8 tests, 0 failures."
Never
- Say "done" without running verification commands
- Skip the checklist because "it's simple"
- Move to step N+1 if step N is not verified
