Instructions

When the user asks to perform this workflow, execute the following steps:

Verify Work Workflow

Goal: Prove the delivered change works against explicit acceptance criteria before handoff.

Steps

• Load scope:
• BRD-lite, PRD, SRS/FRS, ticket, implementation plan, release note, acceptance criteria, non-goals, changed files, matched skills, and inherited operator_profile (carry, do not re-infer).
• Select verification lanes:
• Unit/component, integration/API, E2E/visual, mobile, security, migration, or deployment smoke.
• Execute:
• Run the smallest reliable automated checks first.
• Use Playwright/Appium only when user-facing behavior changed.
• Use Zephyr/Jira/GitHub/GitLab/ADO MCPs only when configured; otherwise record local evidence.
• If external MCP is unavailable, ask for exported ticket/PR/TC data or mark that lane BLOCKED.
• Capture Evidence: logs, screenshots, traces, or terminal output summaries.
• Comparative Audit: If it's a bug fix, prove the "Before" (failure) vs "After" (success).
• Judge:
• PASS: all acceptance criteria proven.
• FAIL: original bug or missed requirement still reproducible.
• BLOCKED: environment, credentials, or approval prevents proof.
• Record evidence:
• If verification reveals behavior drift, require PRD/SRS updates before PASS.
• Update traceability notes from BRD objective -> PRD requirement -> SRS/FRS contract -> verification evidence.
• Update project-local docs/srs/srs-walkthrough.md.
• Route next step back to implementation or dev-fix.

Runtime Contract

• Use after implementation, before handoff, or when validating a bug fix.
• Required inputs: explicit scope plus acceptance criteria or expected behavior.
• Return BLOCKED only when environment, credentials, or approval prevents proof.

Handoff Payload

• operator_profile, verification report, AC trace, comparative evidence, risks observed, updated walkthrough path, outcome report, next workflow.

Blocking Questions

• Ask max 3 at a time with a recommended default and 2-3 options.
