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

1. IDENTIFY - What command proves this claim?
2. RUN - Execute the FULL command (fresh, complete)
3. READ - Full output, check exit code
4. VERIFY - Does output confirm the claim?
5. 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 verification-before-completion.js
