Checking that the SKILL.md file is still in the repository.
Verify claims with actual evidence before declaring success — use to prevent false completion. Use when: Use when about to claim work is complete, fixed, or passing.. Auto-invoke before: commits, PRs, task completion, moving to next task.. ALWAYS use before expressing satisfaction (\"Done!\", \"Fixed!\", \"All passing!\").

Verification Before Completion
Your first output line MUST be: 🐙 **CLAUDE OCTOPUS ACTIVATED** - Verification Gate
The Iron Law
<HARD-GATE> NO COMPLETION CLAIMS WITHOUT FRESH VERIFICATION EVIDENCE </HARD-GATE>
Claiming work is complete without verification is dishonesty, not efficiency.
If you haven't run the verification command in this message, you cannot claim it passes.
The Gate Function
What Requires Verification
| Claim | Requires | NOT Sufficient | |
|---|---|---|---|
| "Tests pass" | Test output showing 0 failures | Previous run, "should pass" | |
| "Linter clean" | Linter output showing 0 errors | Partial check, extrapolation | |
| "Build succeeds" | Build command exit code 0 | Linter passing | |
| "Bug fixed" | Original symptom no longer occurs | "Code changed" | |
| "Regression test works" | Red-green cycle verified | Test passes once | |
| "Requirements met" | Line-by-line checklist | Tests passing |
Examples
Correct: Evidence-Based Claim
Incorrect: Claim Without Evidence
Correct: Regression Test Red-Green
Red Flags - STOP
If you catch yourself:
- Using "should", "probably", "seems to"
- Expressing satisfaction before verification ("Great!", "Done!")
- About to commit/push/PR without running tests
- Trusting that previous run is still valid
- Thinking "just this once"
ALL of these mean: STOP. Run verification first.
Common Rationalizations
| Excuse | Reality | |
|---|---|---|
| "Should work now" | RUN the verification. | |
| "I'm confident" | Confidence ≠ evidence. | |
| "Just this once" | No exceptions. | |
| "Linter passed" | Linter ≠ tests ≠ build. | |
| "I'm tired" | Exhaustion ≠ excuse. | |
| "Partial check is enough" | Partial proves nothing. |

Quality Gates
Octopus workflows have built-in quality gates:
| Workflow | Verification Point | |
|---|---|---|
tangle | 75% success threshold before proceeding | |
ink | Full test suite before delivery | |
squeeze | Red team validation before clearance |

Checklist Before Claiming Complete
- [ ] Ran test command in THIS session
- [ ] Read FULL output (not just summary)
- [ ] Exit code was 0
- [ ] No failures, errors, or warnings
- [ ] No skipped tests that matter
- [ ] Evidence included in claim
Missing any checkbox? Do not claim completion.
The Bottom Line
Run the command. Read the output. THEN claim the result.
No shortcuts for verification. This is non-negotiable.
