verification-before-completion
Use when about to claim work is complete, fixed, passing, verified, release-ready, or ready to commit, merge, publish, or hand off.
npx skills add GanyuanRan/Aegis --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.
# Execute Before any success claim, classify destructive permission needs, choose and run a fresh falsifying check, read its complete result/scope, then select L0/L1/L2. If evidence is partial, stale, failing, or narrower than the claim, downgrade; never claim complete first and verify later. This Method Pack grants no authoritative `GateDecision`, `PolicySnapshot`, evidence sufficiency, requirement acceptance, or completion authority. ## Stop Signals Stop before claiming or advancing when: - evidence is uncertain, stale, agent-only, or narrower than the claim; - the next action is commit, push, PR, merge, tag, publish, release, or handoff; - task/slice completion is being treated as accepted requirement satisfaction; - governance or retirement lacks repair/retirement evidence; - retained old logic lacks a retention reason and retirement trigger; or - complexity closure is unresolved. Destructive or irreversible work needs scoped permission; warnings or broad assent do not grant it. ## Required Evidence Slots Keep these slots explicit and auditable: ```text - Evidence action / check performed: - Result / exit status: - Covered scope: - Uncovered scope: - Residual risk: - Confidence
- Stop Signals
- Required Evidence Slots
- Task Git Closeout
- Aegis Visibility / Single Closeout
- L0 Fast-Path

What does the verification-before-completion skill do?
Use when about to claim work is complete, fixed, passing, verified, release-ready, or ready to commit, merge, publish, or hand off.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add GanyuanRan/Aegis --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 GanyuanRan/Aegis, a repository with 902 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.
