Verification Before Completion — After Implementation

Skill origin: obra/superpowers verification-before-completion Invocation: Mandatory post-hook for speckit.implement. Cannot be skipped.

Step 1 — Load the Authoritative Verification Skill

Any user context provided:

$ARGUMENTS

Locate and internalize the superpowers verification skill using this priority chain:

1. Local plugin: Read skills/verification-before-completion/SKILL.md from the workspace root (present when superpowers is installed as a plugin).
2. Remote fetch: If the local file does not exist, fetch from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/obra/superpowers/main/skills/verification-before-completion/SKILL.md
3. Embedded fallback: If both fail, apply this minimal contract:

   NO COMPLETION CLAIM WITHOUT FRESH VERIFICATION EVIDENCE.

   1. IDENTIFY which command proves the claim.
   2. RUN the full command (fresh, not cached).
   3. READ the output in full — check exit code, count failures.
   4. VERIFY the output confirms the claim. If not, state actual status.
   5. ONLY THEN make the completion claim.

You must internalize the full SKILL.md content before proceeding. Its rules are non-negotiable for every completion claim.

Step 2 — Execute the Verification Skill

Apply the loaded skill against the current implementation state:

1. Run the project's full test suite (not a subset) and paste the output.
2. Run any applicable build / lint / type-check commands and paste the output.
3. Follow the skill's evidence requirements exactly — "should pass" or "I'm confident" are never acceptable substitutes for fresh output.

Step 3 — Spec-Kit Extension: Spec-Coverage Checklist

After the verification skill's checks pass, perform this additional spec-kit gate:

1. Re-read spec.md in full.
2. For each requirement or user story, verify the implementation satisfies the acceptance criteria and map it to a passing test:

## Spec Verification Checklist

- [x] R01: [requirement] — verified by [test file]::[test name]
- [x] R02: [requirement] — verified by [test file]::[test name]
- [ ] R03: [requirement] — NOT VERIFIED ([reason])

3. If any spec.md requirement is unchecked:

⚠ INCOMPLETE: [N] spec requirements are not verified.
Cannot declare implementation complete.
Unmet requirements: [list them]

Do not proceed past this point if any requirement is uncovered.

Step 4 — Completion Report

When all checks pass, output:

## Implementation Complete — Verification Evidence

**Test suite:** [N] tests, [N] passing, 0 failing
**Spec coverage:** [N/N] requirements verified (see checklist above)
**Build:** [PASS / N/A]
**Lint:** [PASS / N/A]

All spec requirements are met. Implementation is verified complete.

Suggested next steps:
- Run `speckit.superb.critique` for code review against spec
- Or proceed to PR creation

If anything is unverified:

## Implementation Status — INCOMPLETE

**Test suite:** [status]
**Spec coverage:** [N/M] requirements verified, [M-N] unverified
**Unverified requirements:** [list]

Implementation cannot be declared complete until all items above are resolved.
