verification-before-completion
Evidence requirement enforcement ensuring all claims are backed by logs, test results, or exit codes. Zero = success, non-zero = failure. No guessing allowed.
npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill verification-before-completion --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
## Rules - Never claim "should work" without evidence - Never claim success without exit code 0 - Never claim a bug is fixed without reproduction failure - Always capture and report exit codes - Always run the full test suite, not just targeted tests - Use timeout guards (`timeout 60s`) to prevent hanging ## When to Use - Before completing any BUILD workflow step - Before claiming a DEBUG fix is verified - Before approving a REVIEW result - Before marking any task as done ## Agents Used - `integration-verifier` (primary consumer) - `component-builder` (TDD evidence) - `bug-investigator` (fix evidence)

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill verification-before-completion --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From a5c-ai/babysitter, a repository with 1,642 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
