| Step | Action |
|------|--------|
| 1 | Read plan.md, context.md, and tasks.md |
| 2 | Verify acceptance checks with evidence |
| 3 | Search for anti-goal violations and unfinished work |
| 4 | Report findings or approve with evidence |
Evidence: file references, command output, or explicit test results. </quick_reference>

- Before claiming feature completion
- Before deleting a finished local task directory
- After a meaningful execution slice if risk is high </when_to_use>
<the_process>
1. Load the docs
Read the active task directory completely.
2. Check the acceptance contract
For each acceptance check in plan.md:
- find direct implementation evidence
- run the relevant verification command if needed
- mark gaps explicitly
3. Check anti-goals
Search for:
- forbidden shortcuts
- TODO or placeholder remnants
- behavior that contradicts the spec
4. Report clearly
If there are gaps, lead with findings. If approved, cite the evidence that supports approval. </the_process>
