SKILL.md
Verification Before Completion
Overview
Enforces the evidence-first principle: every claim of success, fix, or completion must be backed by concrete evidence. Exit codes, test output, and logs are the only acceptable proof.
Evidence Types
- Exit codes: zero = success, non-zero = failure
- Test output: pass/fail counts, coverage percentages
- Logs: error messages, stack traces, resolution confirmation
- Build output: compilation success/failure with timestamps
Rules
- Never claim "should work" without evidence
- Never claim success without exit code 0
- Never claim a bug is fixed without reproduction failure
- Always capture and report exit codes
- Always run the full test suite, not just targeted tests
- Use timeout guards (
timeout 60s) to prevent hanging
When to Use
- Before completing any BUILD workflow step
- Before claiming a DEBUG fix is verified
- Before approving a REVIEW result
- Before marking any task as done

Recommended Agent Skills
Expand your agent's capabilities with these related and highly-rated skills.
gsd-tools
Central utility skill for GSD operations. Provides config parsing, slug generation, timestamps, path operations, and orchestrates calls to other specialized skills. Acts as the unified entry point that the original gsd-tools.cjs provided via its lib/ modules (commands, config, core, init).
model-profile-resolution
Resolve model profile (quality/balanced/budget) at orchestration start and map agents to specific models. Enables cost/quality tradeoffs by selecting appropriate AI models for each agent role.
verification-suite
Plan structure validation, phase completeness checks, reference integrity verification, and artifact existence confirmation. Provides the structured verification layer ensuring GSD artifacts are well-formed and complete.
state-management
STATE.md reading, writing, and field-level updates. Provides cross-session state persistence via .planning/STATE.md with structured fields for current task, completed phases, blockers, decisions, and quick tasks.
git-integration
Git commit patterns, formats, and conventions for GSD methodology. Provides atomic commits per task, structured commit messages, planning file commits, branch management, and milestone tag operations.
frontmatter-parsing
YAML frontmatter parsing and manipulation for .planning/ documents. Provides read, write, update, query, and validation operations on frontmatter blocks in GSD markdown artifacts.
