Verification Before Completion
Run the verification command. Read the output. Then claim the result.
Rule
Before claiming any work is done:
- Identify — What command proves this claim?
- Run — Execute it fresh, right now
- Read — Full output, check exit code
- Verify — Does output confirm the claim?
- Then claim — With evidence
Never say
- "Should work now" / "Probably fixed"
- "Looks correct" / "I'm confident"
- "Done!" before running verification
What counts as verification
| Claim | Requires |
|---|
| Tests pass | Test command output showing 0 failures |
| Build succeeds | Build command exit 0 |
| Bug fixed | Reproduction test passes |
| Requirements met | Line-by-line checklist verified |
