What happens if a verification checkpoint fails?

The skill explicitly blocks execution and provides a required list of steps to gather evidence or realign the hypothesis before proceeding.

When should I use the Verification Gate?

Use it before any implementation action, especially when troubleshooting errors or choosing between multiple technical approaches.

What is the Verification Gate skill?

It is a specialized framework that forces Claude to pause and verify hypotheses before executing any bash, write, or edit commands.

How does it prevent AI pattern-matching errors?

It requires Claude to provide evidence from the current project files and documentation rather than relying on general patterns learned during training.

Does this work with MCP tools?

Yes, it specifically encourages the use of MCP tools like Ref and exa to gather high-fidelity documentation and code context for verification.

生産性とワークフロー

Enforces mandatory logical checkpoints to ensure code changes align with verified evidence rather than instinctive pattern-matching.

概要

The Verification Gate skill acts as a cognitive safety mechanism for Claude Code by mandating rigorous verification before any system-modifying action is taken. By implementing a four-stage checkpoint system—covering hypothesis formation, evidence gathering, system alignment, and pattern-matching detection—it prevents the AI from executing 'hallucinated' or generic solutions that do not match the specific project context. This skill is essential for complex debugging and refactoring where the obvious solution might not be the correct one for the specific architecture or dependency system currently in use.
