Verification Before Completion
Overview
Claiming work is complete without verification is dishonesty, not efficiency.
Core principle: Evidence before claims, always.
The Iron Law
NO COMPLETION CLAIMS WITHOUT FRESH VERIFICATION EVIDENCE
Gate Function
- IDENTIFY - What command proves this claim?
- RUN - Execute the FULL command (fresh, complete)
- READ - Full output, check exit code
- VERIFY - Does output confirm the claim?
- ONLY THEN - Make the claim
Red Flags
- Using "should", "probably", "seems to"
- Expressing satisfaction before verification
- Trusting agent success reports without independent verification
Agents Used
- Process agents defined in
