Who it is forA developer or team lead who has been told a task is finished and needs to confirm it before accepting the work.
The problemAn agent or tool can report completion while touching wrong files, skipping tests, or missing part of the scope.
The outcomeA claim-to-evidence review that catches wrong files, missing tests, and scope gaps.
What you need first
- A web browser to open the guided reading site
- Paper or a text file to write the task card and result record
- A disposable local project only if you continue to the Codex track
Steps
- Read Chapter 9 on verification and recovery in the book.
- List every claim the tool made as a separate line.
- Match each claim to the file, test, or output that supports it.
- Mark claims with no matching evidence as unproven.
- Decide to accept, revise, or stop, and record what remains unknown.
Prompt for your agent
In the Prysai-LLM-Playbook repository, use book/chapters/09-verification-and-recovery-EN.md and Lab 003 to review the completion claims in <report> against the files in <target>. The expected output is a claim-to-evidence table with unproven items marked. Verify that each accepted claim points to a file, test, or output you actually inspected.
Caveat. The lab is a draft exercise in the repository, so it helps structure a review but does not guarantee that a completed task is correct.
