name	sdlc-verify
description	Final verification against spec with full evidence chain. Use after sdlc-execute to confirm feature is complete.

Model auto-switch: Extension switches to fast tier automatically (verify just checks, no heavy reasoning needed).

Principle: Evidence before claims, always.

SDLC Verify

Overview

Final verification: full test suite, every acceptance criterion, build check, evidence report.

Core rule: Never claim pass without evidence.

Process

Step 0: Check Approval

plan_tracker_ide:
  action: check_approval
  phase: verify

If APPROVED, feature already verified. Show report location, skip re-verification.

Step 1: Load Context

1. Read docs/specs/{feature}/spec.md
2. Read all task files
3. Check tracker: plan_tracker_ide(action: "status")

Incomplete tasks? → HARD STOP, suggest /skill:sdlc-execute

Step 2: Full Test Suite

{testCommand from config}

Show: full output, total/pass/fail counts, exit code.

Fail: HARD STOP

Step 3: Acceptance Criteria

Walk EVERY criterion from spec:

1. [Criterion]
   - Status: ✓ PASS
   - Evidence: {test name, manual check, etc.}

2. [Criterion]
   - Status: ✗ FAIL
   - Gap: {what's missing}

Any fail: HARD STOP

Step 4: Build

{buildCommand from config}

Show output, exit code. Fail: HARD STOP

Step 5: Generate Report

Save to docs/specs/{feature}/verification-report.md:

# {Feature} Verification Report

**Date:** YYYY-MM-DD
**Status:** ✓ PASS

## Test Results
- Total: {N}
- Passed: {N}
- Failed: 0

## Acceptance Criteria
| # | Criterion | Status | Evidence |
|---|-----------|--------|----------|
| 1 | {text} | ✓ | {proof} |

## Build
Exit code: 0

## Files Changed
{git diff --stat}

## Conclusion
Ready for: PR / Merge / Deploy

Step 6: Save

1. Sync to memctx:

memctx_save:
  type: observation
  title: {feature} Completed
  path: 60-observations/{feature}-completed.md
  tags: [sdlc, verify, complete, {feature}]

2. Update spec status → Complete
3. Commit:

git commit -m "docs({feature}): verification complete"

4. Approve phase:

plan_tracker_ide:
  action: approve
  phase: verify
  summary: "All {N} criteria passed, tests green, build clean"

5. Clear tracker:

plan_tracker_ide:
  action: clear

Evidence Standards

Never claim pass without:

• Actual command output
• Exit codes verified
• Counts confirmed

Red flags (STOP):

• "Should pass"
• "Looks good"
• "I believe it works"

Handoff

Pass:

Feature verified. Report: docs/specs/{feature}/verification-report.md

Next: Create PR, merge, or start new feature with /skill:sdlc-spec

Fail:

Verification FAILED.

Failures: {list}

Fix issues, then re-run /skill:sdlc-verify
