Verify Work Before Completion

Completion claims often happen before tests, builds, or requirements are actually checked. This skill forces fresh evidence before any success statement.

🥉 78 Bronze

Install with my Agent

Copy this request to your Agent. It includes the canonical Skill page and manifest.

Agent request
Review the Skillstore skill "verification-before-completion" from https://skillstore.io/skills/cycleaddict-verification-before-completion.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/cycleaddict-verification-before-completion/manifest. Verify the artifact. You may proceed after verification, subject to the environment's own policy.

Your Agent should still show its plan and request any confirmation required by the security policy.

Test it

Using "verification-before-completion". The agent is ready to say a validation bug is fixed.

Expected outcome:

I reran the failing validation test. It now passes with zero failures, so the bug fix is verified.

Using "verification-before-completion". The agent wants to claim the build passes without a fresh run.

Expected outcome:

I cannot claim the build passes yet. I need to run the full build and read the result first.

Using "verification-before-completion". A delegated agent reports success on a requested change.

Expected outcome:

I checked the diff and verified the requested file changed. One requirement remains unverified, so completion is not proven yet.

Static command findings are false positives caused by Markdown code fences and verification examples. The skill instructs agents to run project verification before completion claims and shows no executable code, network access, or prompt injection attempt.

What You Can Build

Prevent premature completion claims

Require fresh test, build, or checklist evidence before reporting a task as done.

Review AI coding work

Check delegated agent output against diffs, requirements, and verification results before accepting success.

Standardize handoff discipline

Create a consistent evidence standard for commits, pull requests, and task updates.

Try These Prompts

Basic completion check 
Before you say this task is complete, identify the verification command, run it, read the output, and report only what the output proves.
Full change verification 
Use the verification-before-completion process on this change. Check tests, lint, build, and requirements before making any completion claim.
Requirement checklist audit 
Audit this implementation against the plan. Create a verification checklist, run each relevant check, and separate proven results from remaining gaps.
Regression proof review 
For this regression fix, perform red-green verification. Confirm the test fails without the fix, passes with it restored, and report exact evidence.

Best Practices

  • Choose the command that directly proves the claim.
  • Run full verification after the final relevant change.
  • Report failures and gaps with the same visibility as passes.

Avoid

  • Claiming success from memory, confidence, or earlier runs.
  • Treating lint, tests, and build as interchangeable evidence.
  • Accepting a delegated agent report without checking the diff and result.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I use this skill?
Use it before any claim that work is complete, fixed, passing, or ready for review.
Does this skill run tests automatically?
No. It tells the host agent to choose and run the right verification commands.
Can prior test results count as evidence?
Usually no. The skill requires fresh verification after the relevant work is complete.
What if the verification command fails?
Report the failure clearly, include what was checked, and do not claim completion.
Does this replace project-specific quality gates?
No. It reinforces those gates by requiring evidence before success claims.
Can Claude, Codex, and Claude Code use it?
Yes. The guidance is tool-neutral and supports agent workflows across those environments.
