verify-done

Skill0 starsChanged 4 months agoMITView on GitHub

Use before claiming any task is finished or telling the user "done". Триггеры (RU) — момент завершения работы, перед словами «сделал/готово/работает». Enforces verification-before-completion — run the actual check (tests, build, the command, open the file) and read its real output before reporting done. Applies to code AND to documents/configs.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

2 rules. 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 6 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 2

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Document: does the file exist?

    line 15
  2. Distinctive:

    Only then answer — with specifics on what exactly was checked ("build: 0 errors", "docx opened, table of contents is there").

    line 19

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 6 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Verify before "done"

Principle (adapted from superpowers:verification-before-completion): no completion claim without fresh evidence. Words like "should work", "probably", "looks right" are a red flag — they mean it wasn't checked.

Before saying "done"

  1. Run a real check, don't guess the result:
    • Code: tests / build / typecheck / actually running the command.
    • Document: does the file exist? does it open? is the table of contents present and correctly titled? are the required sections there?
    • Config/MCP: restart + the tool status is green, the tool actually responds.
    • A file that's supposed to land in a specific place: is it there, and is the index/dashboard entry added?
  2. Read the output, not just the exit code. Show an error/warning, don't swallow it.
  3. Only then answer — with specifics on what exactly was checked ("build: 0 errors", "docx opened, table of contents is there").

Red flags (stop, check again)

  • "Should work" / "probably" / "usually does" — not actually checked.
  • A test passed on the very first try without a single failure — is it actually testing anything.
  • "Done", but the verification command was never run this session.

Why this exists

This formalizes a simple rule: don't report a half-finished task as progress — an unfinished task gets finished, not narrated. The task ends before the answer, not during it.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
