Ensure Success with AI: Verify Before Claiming Agent Skill

Ensure Success with AI: Verify Before Claiming Agent Skill

The "Verify Before Claiming" AI agent skill is designed to assist developers in ensuring the integrity of their code by validating build and test results before reporting successful outcomes. By executing a series of verification commands, this skill helps improve code accuracy and reliability, aligning with the expectations of development workflows.

What this skill does

• Executes eight shell commands to validate code changes against a stable base reference in the version control system.
• Consumes the raw output from these commands to determine whether the work is genuinely complete.
• Helps avoid premature claims of successful builds or test completions by prompting further code inspections based on output findings.
• Facilitates a more consistent development cycle by enforcing a rigorous validation method before code changes are confirmed as "done" or "fixed".

Who it is for

• Software developers and engineers using AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.
• Continuous Integration (CI) teams striving for robust testing and build validation processes.
• Development teams focused on maintaining high standards of code reliability and accuracy.

Use cases

• Ensuring all refactoring efforts are validated with tangible test evidence before conclusions are drawn.
• Verifying bug fixes with automatic shell command checks to ensure resolutions are thorough and persistent.
• Utilizing in Continuous Integration (CI) pipelines to detect omissions or potential issues in code changes.

Technical details

• Involves pinning a base for command comparison, typically using `export IDBY_BASE=$(git rev-parse HEAD)` for local validation or `export IDBY_BASE=$(git merge-base origin/main HEAD)` for CI environments.
• Ensures that all shell commands are assessed against the intended base reference, detecting any changes that might otherwise be overlooked.
