  Use when completed work makes claims — "done", "tests pass", "it works", "ready
  to launch" — that must be verified before they are believed. Re-derive each claim
  from the work itself and report CONFIRMED / REFUTED / UNVERIFIABLE with evidence.
  Fast claim-verification by default; the deterministic production-readiness CLI
  when launch stakes justify it.

# CheckYourself

The job: independently re-derive the claims completed work makes about itself and
report each as CONFIRMED, REFUTED, or UNVERIFIABLE with evidence — so "done" means
proven, not asserted. Never grade your own homework from memory: the author's
summary is a claim to check, never evidence for itself. When the verifier is the
same agent that did the work, say so and discount accordingly — use a fresh context
or a second agent for launch-critical claims.

## Protocol (both lanes)

1. **Extract the claims.** From the completion report, commit message, diff, README,
   doc, or the request. Make implicit claims explicit — "done" implies "it runs";
   "shipped" implies "reachable at its destination"; "13 works, every one live"
   implies each URL resolves.
2. **Re-derive each claim from the work, in the consumer's frame.** Run the command,
   open the page, read the file as shipped. Prefer the path a consumer would hit
   over the path the author would show you.
3. **Label with evidence:**
   - **CONFIRMED** — what you ran and saw: command + output line, URL + selector +
     observation, file:line quote.
   - **REFUTED** — the evidence plus what is actually true.
   - **UNVERIFIABLE** — what is missing to check it (access, tool, time,
     credentials). Never silently dropped, never guessed.
   - `n/a` only when the claim's subject genuinely does not exist in this work,
     with the reason. "Not tested" is not a label.
4. **Report verdict-first.** One line answering "is the claim of completion true?",
   then X confirmed / Y refuted / Z unverifiable, then the per-claim evidence list.
   Plain-English risk before technical detail. If a launch-critical claim is
   REFUTED, say the work is not done in those words.
5. **Stay read-only.** No edits, dependency installs, secret rotation, or
   production changes without an explicitly approved named fix. After an approved
   fix: smallest reversible change, re-derive the affected claims, update status,
   rescore if evidence changed. Accepted or deferred findings stay visible as
   residual risk with owner and trigger.
6. **Safety.** No secrets, customer data, or unredacted `.env` values in output.
   For regulated, financial, health, legal, life-safety, security-critical, or
   high-volume systems, recommend qualified expert review.

## Fast lane (minutes)

Claims → re-derive → verdict list. Examples: "tests pass" (run the suite; quote the
summary line), "all links live" (fetch each; list statuses), "this doc matches the
repo" (read the file as shipped at this revision), "the page says N items" (count
them in the rendered DOM, not the source string). Label what cannot be checked in
this harness UNVERIFIABLE with the reason — a scoped honest verdict beats a fake
complete one.

## Deep lane (launch / production readiness)

When the question is "may this go to production", coverage must be swept, not
sampled. Use the CheckYourself CLI (stdlib-only, read-only, no network, no
telemetry):

```
CY=~/workspaces/checkyourself/tools/checkyourself.py
python3 $CY describe --format json
python3 $CY scan <path> --deep --format json --no-write
python3 $CY coverage --emit            # fill with evidence, then:
python3 $CY score --findings scan.json --coverage coverage.json --format json
python3 $CY backlog --findings scan.json --format json
python3 $CY next    --findings scan.json --format json
python3 $CY diff --old baseline.json --new current.json --ci   # regression gate
```

If the CLI is missing (repo moved), sweep manually, reuse the registry IDs below,
and label every score hand-computed. The score is always the CLI's — never invent
or hand-wave a number: `min(base, cap)` with caps 49 (unresolved P0), 74 (unresolved
P1), 84 (missing critical evidence), 90 (missing launch-gate evidence). **No
findings is Unknown, never automatic Pass.**

Sweep the surfaces that matter to this artifact: purpose, frontend UX/accessibility,
backend/API, auth, data/migrations, secrets/config, tests, CI/CD, dependencies,
deploy/rollback, observability, performance, privacy, compliance, and AI/RAG/agent
governance when relevant. Every claim needs Pass-with-evidence / Finding /
Unknown / Not-applicable-with-reason.

Manual fallback registry — stable IDs for citation, suppression, and diff; never
invent or renumber:

| Rule ID | Condition (canonical) |
|---|---|
| `CY-MANUAL-AUTH-001` | Auth, permission, session, or admin behavior lacks verified server-side evidence. |
| `CY-MANUAL-DATA-001` | Data storage, recovery, retention, or tenant isolation lacks verified evidence. |
| `CY-MANUAL-PRIVACY-001` | Privacy, consent, deletion, or third-party data handling lacks verified evidence. |
| `CY-MANUAL-TEST-001` | A dangerous or launch-critical path lacks a focused test receipt. |
| `CY-MANUAL-RELEASE-001` | Deployment, rollback, CI/CD, or supply-chain behavior lacks a verified receipt. |
| `CY-MANUAL-OBS-001` | Observability, alerting, or incident response lacks a verified receipt. |
| `CY-MANUAL-AI-001` | AI/RAG/agent permissions, evaluation, or refusal behavior lacks verified evidence. |
| `CY-MANUAL-OTHER-001` | A material gap matching no other registered condition. |

Every finding carries: rule/detector ID, severity, exact dated evidence,
plain-English risk, and status. When a shipped detector matches, reuse its detector
ID from the project's canonical registry instead of a manual one.

## Example prompts

```text
Use $checkyourself to verify the claims in this completion report. Read-only;
label each CONFIRMED / REFUTED / UNVERIFIABLE with evidence.
```

```text
Use $checkyourself to run the production-readiness scan and score on this app
before launch, list every blocking unknown, and propose the safest first fix
batch. Do not change code.
```

`dashboard inline` after a report adds a compact Markdown dashboard; there is no
dashboard by default.

      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.

   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade

      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
