Spec Verifier
Use this skill when verification is the current phase for one feature.
Shared Contracts
Load this shared shortcut first:
../references/shared-specialist-contract.md
Open the deeper canonical shared references only when the shortcut is insufficient for the current situation.
Purpose
Use this skill when at least one is true:
- implementation or workflow artifacts changed
- evidence, acceptance checks, or alignment review is needed
- the user explicitly asks for verification or review
- the workflow needs concrete pass/fail evidence before continuing

Owned Outputs
- verification evidence in the shared schema
- explicit failures, regressions, or unverified areas
- advisory next-step recommendation based on evidence
Phase-Specific Rejected Criteria
Return rejected if there is nothing concrete to verify or if the request is actually asking for implementation rather than verification.
Phase-Specific Blocked Criteria
Return blocked if evidence cannot be gathered because artifacts, code, test commands, fixtures, or runtime access are missing.
