verify

0upvotes

Use when work is about to be called done — the ASDD evidence gate, in two modes: per task inside `implement`'s loop (tests, build, security, traceability) and at closing over the whole branch against main (stack scripts/verify.sh, every done-check and acceptance criterion, rollback plan, dated verdict). A check that did not execute is reported not run, never passed. NOT judging the diff by eye (that is `review`, spec-less `code-review`), NOT diagnosis (that is `debug`).

# verify — the evidence gate before "done"

`verify` is the evidence **gate** of ASDD. Nobody is allowed to call work *done*, *fixed*, *working*, or *ready to merge* until the evidence exists and has been read. This skill produces that evidence: it runs the project's real quality gate, walks every task's done-check and every acceptance criterion from the spec, and records the result. Pass or fail, the verdict is grounded in command output you actually saw — never in a hunch.

The one rule everything else serves: **a claim of done is a claim about evidence. No evidence, no claim.** A green feeling is not green output.

This is a process skill. It does not own the lint/type/test tooling — the **stack skills do** (`../fastapi/SKILL.md`, `../go/SKILL.md`, `../nextjs/SKILL.md`, `../flutter/SKILL.md`, each shipping `scripts/verify.sh`; data-layer checks come from `../postgresdb/SKILL.md`, security from `../secure-coding/SKILL.md`). `verify` orchestrates them and judges the whole against the spec.

Not this phase: still writing tests or production code → `../implement/SKILL.md` (TDD lives there); a check is failing and you need to know *why* → `../debug/SKILL.md` (`verify` reports the failure and hands off, it does not diagnose); reading the diff adversarially for design/correctness smells a test can't catch → `../review/SKILL.md`, or `../code-review/SKILL.md` when there is no spec/plan chain to key off; nothing to verify *against* → you're earlier in the chain, go to `../specify/SKILL.md` / `../plan/SKILL.md` / `../tasks/SKILL.md` first.

## Model tier — `balanced` (opt-in routing)

This phase's default model tier is **`balanced`** — it runs the checks and interprets failures with judgment. Routing is **off** unless `models.enabled: true` in `02-DOCS/wiki/sdd/config.yaml`. When on: resolve this phase's tier (`models.overrides` wins over `models.phases`), map it to a model via `models.tiers`, and apply per `../asdd/references/model-routing.md` — announce the switch in one line when it differs from the session model, and dispatch any `Task`/`parallel` subagents on that model. Routing off or no profile → honor the session model silently. Never fake a switch a tool can't make; skip routing on a one-line change.
