How does this prevent AI errors?

It identifies 'red flags' like the words 'should' or 'probably' and replaces assumptions with a mandatory gate function requiring actual command output and exit codes.

What is 'The Iron Law' in this skill?

The Iron Law dictates that no completion claims can be made without providing fresh, documented verification evidence from running specific commands.

When is this skill most useful?

It is essential before committing code, creating PRs, or moving to a new task to ensure that the current state is truly functional and requirement-compliant.

Why does this matter for AI development?

It prevents the AI from reporting false successes, which saves developers time on rework and ensures that only verified, passing code enters the codebase.

Can this skill be used with any programming language?

Yes, it is language-agnostic and works by executing any CLI-based verification tools such as npm test, pytest, go test, or custom build scripts.

安全与测试

Enforces a rigorous evidence-based protocol to verify code correctness and task completion before making any success claims.

This skill acts as a critical gatekeeper for Claude Code by mandating 'The Iron Law': no completion claims without fresh verification evidence. It prevents the common AI pitfall of premature satisfaction or assuming code works by requiring the execution of fresh commands, build checks, and test suites. By enforcing a strict verification-before-completion workflow, it ensures that every bug fix, feature, and PR is backed by empirical proof, building high-integrity trust between the AI and the developer while eliminating technical debt caused by unverified changes.
