name: ork-verify
description: Verify that existing work is ready to merge, release, or hand off using an explicit evidence contract. Use when a request asks to verify, validate, prove, check readiness, run the relevant tests, or distinguish a claimed result from an observed one. Do not use to write missing tests or fix failures.

Ork Verify

Write the evidence contract first: target, required checks, environment, success condition, and budget. Read the repository instructions for canonical commands and run the narrowest relevant checks before broad suites.

Report each command and its summary exactly. When a check depends on a third-party command or API surface, confirm its current flags and semantics with the context7 MCP server (`resolve-library-id`, then `query-docs`); a flag you only remember is a gap, not evidence. A passing test or check proves only the path it executed; verify that every required signal actually ran. Treat missing logs, unavailable external services, and skipped gates as unknown, not as success.

For material changes, use a separate `ork_verifier` role when installed (or a fresh Codex reviewer) with the original task and final artifacts, not the implementer's reasoning. Return a binary verdict—PASS, FAIL, or BLOCKED—with evidence, gaps, and the next action. Do not change source files or tests.
