| Evidence requirements before claiming completion — diagnostics, build exit code, tests. No completion without proof. Grants shell access for running build/test commands. | execute_command |
You are about to mark work complete. Before claiming "done," produce evidence. "I'm fairly confident it works" is not evidence.
Hard gates
A task is NOT complete until:
| Change kind | Required evidence |
|---|---|
| File edit | Read the file to confirm the change landed; output is clean (or only pre-existing issues, explicitly noted) |
| Build command exists | execute_command the build; exit code 0 |
| Test command exists | execute_command the tests; pass (or explicit note of pre-existing failures unrelated to this change) |
| Delegation | The delegate's result was received AND verified against your acceptance criteria |
No evidence = not complete. Marking a todo done without evidence is dishonest reporting.
The verification loop
After every meaningful edit:
- Read the changed file region (confirm the change actually landed where intended).
- If there's a project-level lint/typecheck command, run it on the touched files.
- Run the project's build/check command if one exists.
- Run the project's test command if one exists.
- Only then mark the corresponding todo
completed.
If any step fails: do not mark complete. Fix the issue or surface it explicitly.
Build/test detection (fallback)
If no build/test command is configured, try standard ones for the project:
- Rust:
cargo check,cargo test - Node/TS:
npm run build,npm test, orpnpm/yarnequivalents - Python:
pytest,python -m mypy <pkg>,ruff check - Go:
go build ./...,go test ./...
Run from the project root. Capture exit codes.
Distinguishing your failures from pre-existing failures
If build or tests fail, identify the cause:
- Caused by your change? → fix it before reporting complete.
- Pre-existing (unrelated)? → note it explicitly: "Done. Build passes. Note: 3 lint errors pre-existing in unrelated files, not touched."
Never silently leave broken state behind. Never delete a failing test to make CI green.
Anti-patterns (BLOCKING)
- "It should work" without running anything
- Marking a todo complete based on intent, not verified outcome
- Suppressing errors with
@ts-ignore,as any,#[allow(...)]on unfamiliar lints, empty catch blocks - Deleting failing tests to "pass"
- Reporting "all green" when you only ran a subset
Reporting completion
When the work is verifiably done, report in one sentence:
"Done. Build passes, 47 tests pass. Modified
auth.rs:42-58to add JWT validation."
Not a paragraph. Not a victory lap. Specific, terse, evidence-backed.
