Verification Before Completion — After Implementation

Type: Superpowers-adapted command Skill origin: obra/superpowers verification-before-completion Invocation: Mandatory post-hook for speckit.implement. Cannot be skipped.

Step 1 — Resolve Installed Skill

Any user context provided:

$ARGUMENTS

Look for verification-before-completion/SKILL.md in this exact order:

1. ./.agents/skills/verification-before-completion/SKILL.md
2. ~/.agents/skills/verification-before-completion/SKILL.md

If the workspace and global copies both exist, use the workspace copy.

If no readable file is found, STOP:

ERROR: Required superpowers skill `verification-before-completion` not found.
Run /speckit.superb.check for diagnostics.

Report the source you resolved before continuing:

Using installed skill: verification-before-completion
Source: [workspace|global]
Path: [resolved path]

Step 2 — Resolve Active Feature Spec

Resolve the active feature spec path using the same Spec Kit prerequisite script pattern used by follow-up commands:

• Prefer FEATURE_SPEC when present
• Otherwise use FEATURE_DIR/spec.md

Do not derive the path from the branch name manually. If the active feature spec cannot be resolved, STOP and report the failure.

Step 3 — Execute the Verification Skill

Apply the resolved installed skill against the current implementation state:

1. Run the project's full test suite (not a subset) and paste the output.
2. Run any applicable build / lint / type-check commands and paste the output.
3. Follow the skill's evidence requirements exactly — "should pass" or "I'm confident" are never acceptable substitutes for fresh output.

Step 4 — Spec-Kit Extension: Spec-Coverage Checklist

After the verification skill's checks pass, perform this additional spec-kit gate:

1. Re-read spec.md in full.
2. For each requirement or user story, verify the implementation satisfies the acceptance criteria and map it to a passing test:

## Spec Verification Checklist

- [x] R01: [requirement] — verified by [test file]::[test name]
- [x] R02: [requirement] — verified by [test file]::[test name]
- [ ] R03: [requirement] — NOT VERIFIED ([reason])

1. If any spec.md requirement is unchecked:

⚠ INCOMPLETE: [N] spec requirements are not verified.
Cannot declare implementation complete.
Unmet requirements: [list them]

Do not proceed past this point if any requirement is uncovered.

Step 5 — Status Synchronization

Only after all verification checks pass, synchronize the feature spec status to:

.specify/scripts/bash/sync-spec-status.sh --status "Verified"

Status sync rules:

• Use the script output as the source of truth for resolved spec path and resulting status
• If verification fails, leave the previous status unchanged
• Do not overwrite Abandoned
• Do not introduce Completed here

Step 6 — Completion Report

When all checks pass, output:

## Implementation Complete — Verification Evidence

**Test suite:** [N] tests, [N] passing, 0 failing
**Spec coverage:** [N/N] requirements verified (see checklist above)
**Build:** [PASS / N/A]
**Lint:** [PASS / N/A]

All spec requirements are met. Implementation is verified complete.

Suggested next steps:

- Run `speckit.superb.critique` for code review against spec
- Or proceed to PR creation

If anything is unverified:

## Implementation Status — INCOMPLETE

**Test suite:** [status]
**Spec coverage:** [N/M] requirements verified, [M-N] unverified
**Unverified requirements:** [list]

Implementation cannot be declared complete until all items above are resolved.
