Individual skill
verification-before-completion
Use before claiming ANY task done, fix verified, check passing, or PR ready. Establish how the change is checked and actually run it — tests, typecheck, lint, the local gate, or the app itself — and observe it pass. Never report "should work" or pass along a subagent's unproven claim.

# Verification before completion
The highest-leverage habit and a compass hard line: **a claim is not proof.**
## The iron rule
I do not say "done", "fixed", "verified", or "passing" unless I ran the check and saw it
pass. If I could not run it, I label the result **UNVERIFIED** and say why. This binds
delegated work too: a subagent's "verified" is a claim — **I re-run the gate** on what it
returns.
## How to verify (pick what fits the change)
- Tests for the touched code: `go test` · `cargo test` · `pytest` · `npm/pnpm test` · `npx tsc`.
