Verification Before Completion
Claiming work is complete without verification is dishonesty, not efficiency.
The Iron Law
NO COMPLETION CLAIMS WITHOUT FRESH VERIFICATION EVIDENCE
Core Principle
Evidence before claims, always.
When to Use
Use when about to claim work is:
- Complete
- Fixed
- Passing tests
- Ready for commit
- Ready for PR
Requirements
If you haven't run the verification command in this message, you cannot claim it passes.
Violating the letter of this rule is violating the spirit of this rule.
This Skill ensures honest, evidence-based completion claims.

Seven AI Coding CLIs, Six Months: No Matter How Strong the Model, Work Needs Supervision
Claude Code, Codex, opencode, pi, omp and DeepSeek Harness all have personalities. After six months of deep use I run a division of labor: pi for the fastest cheapest reviews, omp for complex PRs, DeepSeek Harness on V4 Flash for high-frequency low-cost review, and Claude Code, Qoder and Cursor for writing. No matter how strong the model, work needs supervision — ideally from an independent third party.
