/verify-work

<objective> Guide the user through manual acceptance testing of recently built features.

Purpose: Validate that what Claude thinks was built actually works from the user's perspective. The USER performs all testing — Claude generates the test checklist, guides the process, and captures issues.

Output: Validation of features, any issues logged to release-scoped ISSUES.md </objective>

<context> Scope: $ARGUMENTS (optional) - If provided: Test specific release or change (e.g., "4" or "04-02") - If not provided: Test most recently completed change

Load project state: @.planning/STATE.md

Load roadmap: @.planning/ROADMAP.md </context>

<process> 1. Validate arguments (if provided, parse as release or change number) 2. Find relevant SUMMARY.md (specified or most recent) 3. Follow verify-work.md workflow: - Extract testable deliverables - Generate test checklist - Guide through each test via AskUserQuestion - Collect and categorize issues - Log issues to `.planning/releases/XX-name/{release}-{change}-ISSUES.md` - Present summary with verdict 4. Offer next steps based on results: - If all passed: Continue to next release - If issues found: `/cat:plan-fix {release} {change}` to create fix change </process>

<anti_patterns>

• Don't run automated tests (that's for CI/test suites)
• Don't make assumptions about test results — USER reports outcomes
• Don't skip the guidance — walk through each test
• Don't dismiss minor issues — log everything user reports
• Don't fix issues during testing — capture for later </anti_patterns>

<success_criteria>

• Test scope identified from SUMMARY.md
• Checklist generated based on deliverables
• User guided through each test
• All test results captured (pass/fail/partial/skip)
• Any issues logged to release-scoped ISSUES.md (not global)
• Summary presented with verdict
• User knows next steps based on results </success_criteria>
