Verification playbook
Use this skill before claiming non-trivial work is complete.
Procedure
- Identify the exact behavior or artifact changed.
- Identify the narrowest meaningful verification command or scenario for that change.
- Run it unless the needed dependency is genuinely unavailable.
- Inspect the result; do not infer success from an unrelated build or lint.
- Check directly affected artifacts: callsites, config, tests, docs, generated files, and cleanup of obsolete paths.
- Report only observed evidence. Mark unverified claims explicitly.
Good evidence
- A targeted unit or integration test covering changed behavior.
- A role/playbook check that applies the changed role and confirms idempotence.
- A CLI command that reads the exact managed config value or runtime behavior.
- A reproduction command showing the original failure is gone.
Not enough by itself
- Syntax check only.
- A broad unrelated test suite that does not cover the change.
- A successful file write or formatter run.
- An assumption that config loaded because YAML looked valid.
