Excerpt

Verification Strategy

How to verify your work is correct before declaring a task complete.

The Verification Checklist

After implementing a solution, go through ALL of these:

1. Re-read the original task

Re-read the EXACT wording of the task instruction
Check every requirement — file paths, names, formats, constraints
Are there implicit requirements? ("compile with gcc -O3 -lm" means exact flags)

2. Check file outputs

Do all required files exist at the exact paths specified?
Are file sizes within any stated limits?
Is the file format correct? (binary vs text, encoding, line endings)

ls -la /path/to/expected/output
wc -c /path/to/output    # byte count
file /path/to/output      # format detection
head -5 /path/to/output   # content preview

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
