Evidence before claims. Use after the last code change and before saying code works, a bug is fixed or tests pass, and before committing, pushing or opening a PR. Also when the user says a few tests are enough or the full suite can be skipped.

    Use when a superpowers session went wrong and your human partner wants to know why — repeated work, ignored plans, stumbles, poor results, a skill that didn't fire, "it took too long", "why is it so expensive", "what is it doing" — or wants to build a bug report for the superpowers maintainers, for the current session or a past one identified by id or path, on any harness.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

3 rules. 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 177 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 3

    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:

    Rule: do not claim a result you have not just checked.

    line 10
  2. Distinctive:

    Read the output: exit code, number of failures, warnings.

    line 16
  3. Distinctive:

    No linter, static analysis or build step in the project: say so in the report in place of that evidence.

    line 29

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 177 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.

Verification before completion

Adapted from obra/superpowers verification-before-completion (MIT).

Rule: do not claim a result you have not just checked. Run the command now, read the output, then report what it says.

Steps

  1. Name the command that proves the claim.
  2. Run it in full: the whole suite, not a subset. A request to run only some tests or skip the full suite is about time: if the suite is quick, or you do not know how long it takes, run it anyway and say so. Only when it is really slow, run every test file for the changed code and for code that calls it, and name what you did not run.
  3. Read the output: exit code, number of failures, warnings.
  4. Report the actual state with the evidence ("312 passed, 0 failed", "build exit 0"). If something failed or was skipped, say so plainly.
ClaimNeedsNot enough
Tests passtest run just now with 0 failuresan earlier run, "should pass"
Bug fixedthe reproduction test now passes, and failed before"code changed"
Lint / types cleanlinter and static analysis outputthe tests passing
Build worksbuild command exit 0lint passing
Requirements meteach acceptance criterion checked one by onetests passing
Subagent finishedgit diff and test output checked by youthe subagent's report
UI looks righta screenshot of the changed screen with realistic data, read by you, plus the app's runtime warnings (the project's screenshot command; with none, report the UI as unverified and propose one)the build passing, layout arithmetic from code, "the user will check"

No linter, static analysis or build step in the project: say so in the report in place of that evidence. Do not install one.

Before a commit or PR

Also check: git status is clean apart from intended changes, no debug output or commented-out code, no secrets or .env values in the diff (git diff <base>...HEAD and search for keys, tokens, passwords), migrations run both ways if the project uses them.

Words like "should", "probably", "looks right" or "Done!" before you have run the check mean you have not verified.

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.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
