# Verification Before Completion

## Overview

Claiming work is complete without verification is dishonesty, not efficiency.

**Core principle:** Evidence before claims, always.

## Routing Boundary

Use this skill at the end of work, when the question is "can we honestly claim this is done?" Use `systematic-debugging` for unexplained failures, `tdd-guide` for test-first implementation, and `generating-test-reports` when the deliverable is a readable test report.

**Violating the letter of this rule is violating the spirit of this rule.**
