Verification Before Completion

测试类

Use before claiming work is done, fixed, or passing, before committing or creating a PR.

Quick Start

Understand in 30 Seconds

Claiming work complete without verification is dishonesty, not efficiency.

Core Principle: Evidence before claims, always.

When to Use

Before any completion/success claim
Before expressing satisfaction
Before committing, PR creation, task completion

Complete Guide

Iron Law

No completion claim without fresh verification evidence

Gate Function

Identify: What command proves this claim?
Run: Execute the full command
Read: Full output, check exit code
Verify: Does output confirm the claim?
Only Then: Make the claim

Red Flags

Using "should", "probably", "seems"
Expressing satisfaction before verification
Ready to commit/push/PR without verification
Trusting agent success reports

Bottom Line

No shortcuts on verification. Run the command. Read the output. Then claim the result.
