+description: "Detect and repair drift between a project's configured Lisa status/label mappings and the live tracker/source workflow. Compares every lifecycle role in `.lisa.config.json` (JIRA `jira.workflow` statuses, GitHub/Linear `labels.{build,prd}`, Notion `notion.values` select options, Confluence `confluence.parents`) against the authoritative live names the access layer reports — catching renames, deletions, and case drift (e.g. config `On Stg` vs live `ON STG`). Read-only by default; `repair=true` rewrites the config to the canonical live names (config is fixed, never the tracker). Audits the current repo by default, or sweeps a set of projects via `projects=<glob>` / `workspaces=<file>`. Safe to schedule for continuous drift detection."

+
+# Validate Tracker Mapping: $ARGUMENTS
+
+`/lisa:validate-tracker-mapping` answers one question: **do the status/label names this project's `.lisa.config.json` maps each lifecycle role to still exist — with the exact name — in the live tracker and PRD source?**
+
+Lisa's lifecycle is driven by configured role → name mappings (`ready` → `"Ready"`, `done.staging` → `"On Stg"`, a GitHub `ready` build label → `"status:ready"`, a Notion `ticketed` value → `"Ticketed"`, …). When someone renames or deletes a status in JIRA, a label in GitHub/Linear, or a select option in Notion, the config silently points at a name that no longer resolves. The symptom is downstream: a build finishes but the completion transition can't be found, so the item stalls — exactly the kind of half-broken state `/lisa:repair-intake` then has to clean up. This skill catches that drift at the source: the config-to-live mapping itself.
+
+It is the audit/repair counterpart to `/lisa:setup-jira` (and the other `setup-*` skills): where `setup-*` *establishes* the mapping interactively, this skill *re-validates an existing mapping* against the live workflow and, on request, repairs the config to match.
+
+## Confirmation policy
+
+- **Default mode is read-only.** Detect drift and report. Never mutate config or the tracker.
+- **`repair=true` enables writes — to the config only, never to the tracker.** Within repair mode:
+  - **Case drift** (the live workflow has the same name with different casing — the configured name resolves case-insensitively but the canonical case differs) is repaired automatically: rewrite the config value to the live canonical name. This is non-destructive and unambiguous.
+  - **Missing name** (no case-insensitive match exists in the live set — renamed beyond recognition or deleted) is **never** auto-repaired. Compute the closest live candidates and confirm via `AskUserQuestion` before writing. Default to leaving the value unchanged.
+- This skill never renames or deletes anything in the tracker/source. Repair fixes the Lisa config to match reality; correcting the tracker itself is a human/admin decision made elsewhere.
+
+## Arguments
+
+- (none) — audit the **current repo** (`./.lisa.config.json`).
+- `projects=<glob-or-path>` — batch sweep. Expands to every directory under the glob that contains a `.lisa.config.json`. Example: `projects=~/workspace/geminisportsai/projects/*`.
+- `workspaces=<file>` — batch sweep driven by a Lisa workspaces file (the `{ "<project-path>": "<branch>" }` map used by `/lisa:update-projects`). Each key is a project path to audit. Combine with `filter=<substring>` to restrict to matching paths (e.g. `filter=geminisportsai`).
+- `repair=true` — enable config repair (see confirmation policy). Default `false`.
+- `lane=build|prd|both` — which mapping family to check. Default `both`. `build` = the destination `tracker` workflow; `prd` = the PRD `source` status/label mapping.
+
+Batch mode runs the identical per-project audit on each resolved project and prints one section per project plus a roll-up summary.
+
+## Step 1 — Resolve scope
+
+```bash
+# Single-repo (default): the audit target is the current directory.
+# Batch: expand projects=<glob> to dirs containing .lisa.config.json,
+# or read workspaces=<file> keys (optionally filtered).
+```
+
+For `workspaces=<file>`, parse with `jq` (never grep/sed JSON):
+
+```bash
+jq -r 'keys[]' "$WORKSPACES_FILE" \
+  | sed "s#^~#$HOME#" \
+  | while read -r proj; do
+      [ -n "$FILTER" ] && case "$proj" in *"$FILTER"*) : ;; *) continue ;; esac
+      [ -f "$proj/.lisa.config.json" ] && echo "$proj"
+    done
+```
+
+Skip (and note) any path with no `.lisa.config.json`.
+
+## Step 2 — Load the project's mappings
+
+For each project, read `.lisa.config.json`:
+
+```bash
+tracker=$(jq -r '.tracker // "jira"' .lisa.config.json)
+source=$(jq -r '.source // empty' .lisa.config.json)
+```
+
+Resolve the **effective** role → name mapping using the same defaults `/lisa:intake` and `/lisa:setup-jira` use (config-resolution contract). Only keys present in config override the defaults; absent keys fall back to the documented default. Build the list of `(role, configured-name)` pairs to validate:
+
+- **JIRA build workflow** (`jira.workflow`): `ready`, `claimed`, optional `review`, `blocked`, and each `done.<env>` (`dev` / `staging` / `production`). Defaults: `Ready`, `In Progress`, `Code Review`, `Blocked`, `{dev: "On Dev", staging: "On Stg", production: "Done"}`.
+- **GitHub build/prd labels** (`github.labels.build`, `github.labels.prd`): each configured label string.
+- **Linear build/prd labels** (`linear.labels.build`, `linear.labels.prd`): each configured label/state string.
+- **Notion PRD values** (`notion.values`): each configured select-option value, validated against the `notion.statusProperty` property's options.
+- **Confluence PRD parents** (`confluence.parents`): each configured parent page id, validated by existence.
+
+## Step 3 — Enumerate the authoritative live name set
+
+Resolve the live, canonical names per vendor through the **same access layer the rest of Lisa uses** — never a second source of truth.
+
+### JIRA (via `/lisa:atlassian-access`)
+
+First confirm the active substrate is authenticated to **this project's** `atlassian.cloudId` / `atlassian.site`. `/lisa:atlassian-access` already enforces account identity: a substrate authed as a different Atlassian account is skipped, not used. If no substrate matches the configured account, mark the project `UNRESOLVABLE` (auth mismatch) and move on — do **not** validate against the wrong instance, and do **not** trust a case-insensitive JQL pass as proof.
+
+Enumerate the project's full workflow status set, preferring the most authoritative substrate:
+
+1. **curl** (authoritative — all statuses, including empty ones):
+   ```bash
+   # GET /rest/api/3/project/<KEY>/statuses → union of canonical status names across issue types
+   # via lisa-atlassian-access curl substrate
+   # jq: '[.[].statuses[].name] | unique'
+   ```
+2. **MCP fallback** (when curl creds aren't available): union of `to.name` from `getTransitionsForJiraIssue` (with `includeUnavailableTransitions=true`) on a sample ticket, plus changelog-observed names (`fromString`/`toString`). This can miss a status that is empty *and* unreachable from the sample, so when only this substrate is available, report the enumeration method in the output so the operator knows the set may be partial.
+
+> Note: JQL `status = "<name>"` matching is **case-insensitive**, so a JQL probe that "passes" does **not** prove the configured casing matches. Always compare against the canonical `status.name` strings from the enumeration above, case-sensitively.
+
+### GitHub (via `gh`)
+
+```bash
+gh label list --repo "$REPO" --limit 200 --json name -q '.[].name'
+```
+
+### Linear / Notion / Confluence
+
+Enumerate via the corresponding access surface (Linear MCP workflow states + labels; Notion data-source select options for `notion.statusProperty`; Confluence page-exists check per parent id). Same compare-exact-case contract as JIRA.
+
+## Step 4 — Compare (exact case)
+
+For each `(role, configured-name)` pair, classify against the live name set:
+
+- **VALID** — an exact-case match exists in the live set.
+- **CASE_DRIFT** — a case-insensitive match exists but no exact-case match (e.g. config `"On Stg"` vs live `"ON STG"`). Canonical = the live exact name.
+- **MISSING** — no case-insensitive match exists. The name was renamed beyond recognition or deleted.
+
+A project's verdict:
+
+- **VALID** — every role is VALID.
+- **DRIFTED** — at least one CASE_DRIFT or MISSING role, none of which is UNRESOLVABLE.
+- **UNRESOLVABLE** — the live set couldn't be enumerated (auth mismatch, missing tracker config, access failure). Distinguish this loudly from VALID — an unresolved audit is not a passing audit.
+
+## Step 5 — Report
+
+Per project, print a terminal-first section:
+
+```
+<project-path>  [tracker=<vendor> project/repo=<id>]  VERDICT
+  role            configured        live (canonical)    status
+  ready           Ready             Ready               VALID
+  claimed         In Progress       In Progress         VALID
+  blocked         Blocked           Blocked             VALID
+  done.dev        On Dev            On Dev              VALID
+  done.staging    On Stg            ON STG              CASE_DRIFT  → fix: "ON STG"
+  done.production Done              Done                VALID
+```
+
+End with a roll-up: counts of VALID / DRIFTED / UNRESOLVABLE projects and the exact next command (`… repair=true` when drift is auto-repairable; an admin note when a status is genuinely MISSING).
+
+## Step 6 — Repair (only when `repair=true`)
+
+For each drifted role, repair the **config** (preserve everything else; only write changed keys; always `jq … > tmp && mv`):
+
+### CASE_DRIFT — automatic
+
+Rewrite the configured value to the live canonical name. Examples:
+
+```bash
+# scalar role (ready/claimed/blocked/review)
+jq --arg v "$CANONICAL" '.jira.workflow.<role> = $v' \
+  .lisa.config.json > .lisa.config.json.tmp && mv .lisa.config.json.tmp .lisa.config.json
+
+# done.<env>
+jq --arg v "$CANONICAL" '.jira.workflow.done.<env> = $v' \
+  .lisa.config.json > .lisa.config.json.tmp && mv .lisa.config.json.tmp .lisa.config.json
+
+# github/linear label
+jq --arg v "$CANONICAL" '.github.labels.<lane>.<role> = $v' \
+  .lisa.config.json > .lisa.config.json.tmp && mv .lisa.config.json.tmp .lisa.config.json
+```
+
+### MISSING — confirm first
+
+Compute the closest live candidates (case-insensitive token/substring overlap, then edit distance). Present via `AskUserQuestion`:
+
+> Role `<role>` maps to `<configured>`, which no longer exists in `<vendor>`. Closest live names: `<c1>`, `<c2>`, `<c3>`. Pick the replacement, leave unchanged, or enter a name manually.
+
+Only write on an explicit pick. Never auto-select. If the user leaves it unchanged, keep the project `DRIFTED` and surface the admin remediation (add the status back, or fix it in the tracker).
+
+### Invalidate the verification cache
+
+After any JIRA repair, clear the `setup-jira` reachability cache so it re-verifies the new mapping:
+
+```bash
+jq 'if .jira then .jira.verified_workflow_hash = null else . end' \
+  .lisa.config.local.json > .lisa.config.local.json.tmp 2>/dev/null \
+  && mv .lisa.config.local.json.tmp .lisa.config.local.json || true
+```
+
+Re-print the project section showing the post-repair mapping and the new verdict (VALID if every role now resolves).
+
+## Idempotency & repeatability
+
+- Re-running on a clean config reports `VALID` and writes nothing.
+- Read-only mode has no side effects and is safe to schedule. Pair with `/schedule` (or run in CI) to detect drift continuously; run `repair=true` interactively when drift appears (the `MISSING` path needs a human decision and should not run unattended).
+- Repair only ever touches `.lisa.config.json` (and clears the local verification-cache key) — it preserves all unrelated config and never stages secrets or env values.
+
+## Rules
+
+- Compare status/label names **case-sensitively** against the live canonical set. A case-insensitive tracker query (e.g. JQL) that resolves is not proof the casing matches.
+- Verify the access substrate is authenticated to the **configured** account before trusting any enumeration. An audit run against the wrong instance is `UNRESOLVABLE`, not `VALID`.
+- Repair fixes the **config**, never the tracker. Do not rename or delete tracker statuses, labels, or options.
+- Never auto-repair a `MISSING` mapping; confirm the replacement via `AskUserQuestion`.
+- Use `jq` for all JSON reads/writes; write only changed keys via `jq … > tmp && mv`.
+- In batch mode, audit each project independently — one project's `UNRESOLVABLE` (e.g. an auth mismatch) must not abort the rest of the sweep.
+- Reuse the config-resolution defaults and the vendor access skills (`atlassian-access`, `gh`, Linear/Notion MCP); do not invent a parallel mapping or lifecycle vocabulary.

Quality gates (tests/typecheck/lint) are prerequisites, NOT verification. Verification means running the actual system and observing results."

+
+# Verification Lifecycle
+
+This skill defines the complete verification lifecycle that agents must follow for every change: confirm quality gates, classify, check tooling, fail fast, plan, execute, codify (turn each passing verification into a regression test), spec conformance (verify shipped work matches the spec), and loop.
+
+## Verification Lifecycle
+
+Agents must follow this mandatory sequence for every change:
+
+1. Confirm Quality Gates
+2. Classify
+3. Check Tooling
+4. Fail Fast (if blocked)
+5. Plan
+6. Execute
+7. Codify (turn each passing verification into a regression test)
+8. Spec Conformance
+9. Loop
+
+### 1. Confirm Quality Gates
+
+Confirm that quality gates (tests, typecheck, lint, format) pass. These are prerequisites, NOT verification. Do not count them as verification — they are enforced automatically by hooks and CI. If quality gates fail, fix them before proceeding.
+
+### 2. Classify
+
+Determine which **empirical verification types** apply based on the change. Check each type in the Verification Types table in `.claude/rules/verification.md` against the change scope. Every applicable type requires running the actual system and observing results — not just running tests.
+
+### 3. Check Tooling
+
+For each required verification type, discover what tools are available in the project. Use the Tool Discovery Process below.
+
+Report what is available for each required type. If a required type has no available tool, proceed to step 4.
+
+If a required verification type needs sign-in or other credentials, exhaust credential sources before declaring the verification blocked. Check credential sources in this order:
+
+1. Project e2e / Playwright config and fixtures, including files such as `e2e/constants.ts`, `e2e/fixtures/api-login.ts`, seeded test users, and OTP-bypass patterns such as `555555`.
+2. `.lisa.config.local.json` and environment variables.
+3. Documented ticket credentials, including a `Sign-in Required` or equivalent section in the issue, ticket, PRD, or linked implementation notes.
+
+Report which sources were checked. Do not say credentials are unavailable until all three source classes have been checked or proven absent.
+
+### 4. Fail Fast
+
+If a required verification type has no available tool and no reasonable alternative, escalate immediately using the Escalation Protocol. Do not begin implementation without a verification plan for every required type.
+
+If credentials are genuinely unavailable after the credential lookup order above is exhausted, treat the work item as blocked rather than done. Post a clear tracker comment stating exactly what runtime behavior could not be verified and which credential sources were checked, transition the item to the configured blocked state, and apply the configured `needs-human` / `human-review` label, creating that label if the tracker supports label creation and it is missing.
+
+### 5. Plan
+
+For each verification type, state:
+- The specific tool or command that will be used (NOT test/typecheck/lint — those are quality gates, not verification)
+- The expected outcome that constitutes a pass
+- Any prerequisites (running server, seeded database, auth token)
+
+A verification plan that only lists `bun run test`, `bun run typecheck`, or `bun run lint` is NOT a verification plan. Those are quality gates handled in step 1.
+
+For a user-visible Fix, or a Build change that affects user-visible behavior, the verification plan must include the highest practical observation level for the reported surface. If the project has a browser, device, or end-to-end harness for the affected platform, plan a deterministic regression spec against that surface and the empirical command that observes the same surface. Unit-level or API-only verification does not satisfy a UI-surface defect when browser/device automation is available.
+
+The lead cannot waive, defer, or demote this regression spec as optional, "if cheap", or equivalent. The only acceptable exits are a recorded absence of an end-to-end harness for the platform, or a genuine technical blocker that is captured before merge as a linked build-ready follow-up ticket referenced from the PR and source work item.
+
+### 6. Execute
+
+After implementation, run the verification plan. Execute each verification type in order.
+
+Evidence output must explicitly label each verification result as either `verified empirically` or `artifact-only / verification deferred`. Artifact-only evidence can support a blocked escalation packet, but it cannot mark a required runtime verification complete.
+
+For a required user-visible regression spec, evidence must prove execution, not only existence. Record a CI log line, reporter output, or equivalent artifact that names the new spec and shows it ran and passed in the PR. A green CI run without named execution proof is not enough; explicitly check for `test.skip`, suite-level environment gates, shard filters, and "0 tests" passes.
+
+If auto-merge is enabled while the regression spec is still in flight, disable auto-merge or apply an equivalent merge gate until the spec commit is pushed and its CI execution proof is available. Do not let the PR merge before the required regression deliverable is satisfied or formally blocked through the linked follow-up path.
+
+### 7. Codify
+
+After each empirical verification produces PASS evidence, invoke the `codify-verification` skill to encode the verification as an automated regression test. The manual proof becomes a repeatable check that catches future regressions.
+
+The `codify-verification` skill maps the verification type to the appropriate framework (Playwright for browser/UI, integration test for API/DB/auth, benchmark for performance, etc.), generates a deterministic test that asserts the same observable outcome the verification just confirmed, runs it in isolation to confirm PASS, and commits it in the same PR as the change.
+
+Codification is mandatory for every empirical verification type with one exception set: PR, Documentation, Deploy, and Investigate-Only spikes — those have inherently non-behavioral proof. For every other type, skipping codification is not allowed; if codification is genuinely impossible (e.g., the test framework does not exist and cannot be installed in scope), escalate via the Escalation Protocol rather than silently skipping.
+
+For UI-surface defects with an available browser/device/e2e harness, codification must happen in that harness or the nearest surface-equivalent automated harness. Lower-level tests may be added for diagnosis or edge cases, but they do not replace the reported-surface regression spec.
+
+A change is not "verified" in the lifecycle sense until each empirical verification has both passed AND been codified.
+
+### 8. Spec Conformance
+
+After empirical verification produces evidence, run spec conformance as a separate, mandatory step. Invoke the `spec-conformance` skill (or delegate to the `spec-conformance-specialist` agent) with the spec source — plan file, JIRA/Linear/GitHub key, or PRD.
+
+Spec conformance answers a question empirical verification does NOT: does the shipped work match what was asked, section-by-section? It consumes the empirical evidence from step 6 and builds a coverage matrix over every requirement (acceptance criteria, Out of Scope, technical commitments, Validation Journey assertions, deliverables).
+
+Required outputs:
+- Coverage matrix with one row per requirement
+- Scope creep findings (Out-of-Scope violations, surfaced separately from misses)
+- Untraceable change findings (diff not traceable to any requirement)
+- Verdict: `CONFORMS`, `PARTIAL`, or `DIVERGES`
+
+`PARTIAL` or `DIVERGES` blocks completion. Fix the gaps (implement the miss, remove the creep, capture the missing evidence) and re-run both empirical verification AND spec conformance. Never skip this step — it catches failures that empirical verification by itself does not, such as a feature that works but wasn't asked for, or a spec item that was quietly dropped.
+
+### 9. Loop
+
+If any verification, codification, or spec-conformance check fails, fix the issue and re-verify. Do not declare done until all required types pass, all empirical verifications are codified, AND the spec-conformance verdict is `CONFORMS`. If a verification, codification, or conformance check is stuck after 3 attempts, escalate.
+
+---
+
+## Tool Discovery Process
+
+Agents must discover available tools at runtime rather than assuming what exists. Check these locations in order:
+
+1. **Project manifest** — Read the project manifest file for available scripts (build, test, lint, deploy, start, etc.) and their variants
+2. **Script directories** — Search for shell scripts, automation files, and task runners in common locations (`scripts/`, `bin/`, project root)
+3. **Configuration files** — Look for test framework configs, linter configs, formatter configs, deployment configs, and infrastructure-as-code definitions
+4. **MCP tools** — Check available MCP server tools for browser automation, observability, issue tracking, and other capabilities
+5. **CLI tools** — Check for available command-line tools relevant to the verification type (database clients, HTTP clients, cloud CLIs, container runtimes)
+6. **Environment files** — Read environment configuration for service URLs, connection strings, and feature flags that indicate available services
+7. **Documentation** — Check project README, CLAUDE.md, and rules files for documented verification procedures
+
+If a tool is expected but not found, report the gap rather than assuming it doesn't exist — it may need to be installed or configured.
+
+---
+
+## Verification Surfaces
+
+Agents may only self-verify when the required verification surfaces are available.
+
+Verification surfaces include:
+
+### Action Surfaces
+
+- Build and test execution
+- Deployment and rollback
+- Infrastructure apply and drift detection
+- Feature flag toggling
+- Data seeding and state reset
+- Load generation and fault injection
+
+### Observation Surfaces
+
+- Application logs (local and remote)
+- Metrics (latency, errors, saturation, scaling)
+- Traces and correlation IDs
+- Database queries and schema inspection
+- Browser and device automation
+- Queue depth and consumer execution visibility
+- CDN headers and edge behavior
+- Artifact capture (video, screenshots, traces, diffs)
+
+If a required surface is unavailable, agents must follow the Escalation Protocol.
+
+---
+
+## Tooling Surfaces
+
+Many verification steps require tools that may not be available by default.
+
+Tooling surfaces include:
+
+- Required CLIs (cloud, DB, deployment, observability)
+- Required MCP servers and their capabilities
+- Required internal APIs (feature flags, auth, metrics, logs, CI)
+- Required credentials and scopes for those tools
+
+If required tooling is missing, misconfigured, blocked, undocumented, or inaccessible, agents must treat this as a verification blocker and escalate before proceeding.
+
+---
+
+## Proof Artifacts Requirements
+
+Every completed task must include proof artifacts stored in the PR description or linked output location.
+
+Proof artifacts must be specific and re-checkable. A proof artifact should contain enough detail that another agent or human can reproduce the verification independently.
+
+Acceptable proof includes:
+- Automated session recordings and screenshots for UI work
+- Request/response captures for API work
+- Before/after query outputs for data work
+- Metrics snapshots for performance and scaling work
+- Log excerpts with correlation IDs for behavior validation
+- Benchmark results with methodology for performance work
+
+Statements like "works" or "should work" are not acceptable.
+
+---
+
+## Self-Correction Loop
+
+Verification is not a one-shot activity. Agents operate within a three-layer self-correction architecture that catches errors at increasing scope. Each layer is enforced automatically — agents do not need to invoke them manually.
+
+### Layer 1 — Inline Correction
+
+**Trigger:** Every file write or edit.
+
+Hooks run formatting, structural analysis, and linting on the single file just written. Errors are reported immediately so the agent can fix them before writing more files. This prevents error accumulation across multiple files.
+
+**Agent responsibility:** When a hook blocks, fix the reported errors in the same file before proceeding to other files. Do not accumulate errors.
+
+### Layer 2 — Commit-Time Enforcement
+
+**Trigger:** Every commit.
+
+Checks run on staged files: linting, formatting, secret detection, commit message validation, and branch protection. This layer catches errors that span multiple files or involve staged-but-not-yet-checked changes.
+
+Commit-time checks cannot be bypassed. Agents must discover what specific checks are enforced by reading the project's hook configuration.
+
+### Layer 3 — Push-Time Enforcement
+
+**Trigger:** Every push.
+
+The full project quality gate runs: test suites with coverage thresholds, type checking, security audits, unused export detection, and integration tests. This is the last automated checkpoint before code reaches the remote.
+
+**Handling failures:** When a push fails, read the error output to determine which check failed. Fix the root cause rather than working around it. Agents must discover what specific checks are enforced by reading the project's hook configuration.
+
+### Regeneration Over Patching
+
+When the root cause of errors is architectural (wrong abstraction, incorrect data flow, fundamentally broken approach), delete and regenerate rather than incrementally patching. Incremental patches on a broken foundation accumulate tech debt faster than the self-correction loop can catch it.
+
+Signs that regeneration is needed:
+- The same file has been edited 3+ times in the same loop without converging
+- Fixing one error introduces another in the same file
+- The fix requires disabling a lint rule or adding a type assertion
+
+---
+
+## Standard Workflow
+
+Agents must follow this sequence unless explicitly instructed otherwise:
+
+1. Restate goal in one sentence.
+2. Identify the end user of the change.
+3. Confirm quality gates pass (tests, typecheck, lint, format) — these are prerequisites, NOT verification.
+4. Classify empirical verification types that apply to the change (UI, API, Database, etc.).
+5. Discover available tools for each verification type.
+6. Confirm required surfaces are available, escalate if not.
+7. Plan verification: state tool, command, and expected outcome for each type. Do NOT list test/typecheck/lint here — those are quality gates from step 3.
+8. Implement the change.
+9. Execute verification plan — run the actual system and observe results.
+10. Collect proof artifacts.
+11. Codify — for each passing empirical verification, invoke `codify-verification` to encode it as a regression test (Playwright for UI, integration test for API/DB/auth, benchmark for performance, etc.) and commit the test in the same PR.
+12. Run spec conformance — build coverage matrix against the spec source (plan/ticket/issue), flag scope creep and untraceable changes, produce verdict.
+13. Summarize what changed, what was verified, what was codified, conformance verdict, and remaining risk.
+14. Label the result with a verification level.
+
+---
+
+## Task Completion Rules
+
+1. **Run the proof command** before marking any task complete
+2. **Compare output** to expected result
+3. **If verification fails**: Fix and re-run, don't mark complete
+4. **If verification blocked** (missing tools, services, etc.): Mark as blocked, not complete
+5. **Must not be dependent on CI/CD** if necessary, you may use local deploy methods found in the project manifest, but the verification methods must be listed in the pull request and therefore cannot be dependent on CI/CD completing
+6. **Evidence manifest satisfied (leaf work units)**: For a leaf work unit (Bug / Task / Sub-task / Improvement) whose ticket carries a Validation Journey, do not mark the ticket complete or transition it out of in-progress until every `[EVIDENCE: name]` marker declared on the ticket has a corresponding captured, non-empty artifact attached to the ticket. A missing or empty artifact for any declared marker blocks completion exactly like a failed verification — fix and re-capture, or escalate; never close with an unsatisfied manifest. Epics / Stories / Spikes are exempt (coordination containers, not work units).
+7. **No artifact-only completion for required runtime verification**: If empirical verification is required and cannot run because credentials are missing, do not mark the item done on artifact-only evidence. Exhaust the credential lookup order first; if still blocked, post the blocker comment, move the item to the configured blocked state, and apply the configured `needs-human` / `human-review` label.
+
+---
+
+## Escalation Protocol
+
+Agents must escalate when verification is blocked, ambiguous, or requires tools that are missing or inaccessible.
+
+Common blockers:
+
+- VPN required
+- MFA, OTP, SMS codes
+- Hardware token requirement
+- Missing CLI, MCP server, or internal API required for verification
+- Missing documentation on how to access required tooling
+- Production-only access gates
+- Compliance restrictions
+- Missing runtime credentials after checking project e2e / Playwright config and fixtures, `.lisa.config.local.json` / environment, and documented ticket credentials
+
+When blocked, agents must do the following:
+
+1. Identify the exact boundary preventing verification.
+2. Identify which verification surfaces and tooling surfaces are missing.
+3. Attempt safe fallback verification (local, staging, mocks) and label it clearly.
+4. Declare verification level as PARTIALLY VERIFIED or UNVERIFIED.
+5. Produce a Human Action Packet.
+6. Pause until explicit human confirmation or tooling is provided.
+
+For tracker-backed work items, also post the packet to the tracker, transition to the configured blocked state, and apply the configured `needs-human` / `human-review` label. If the label is missing and the tracker supports label creation, create it before applying it.
+
+Agents must never proceed past an unverified boundary without surfacing it to the human overseer.
+
+### Human Action Packet Format
+
+Agents must provide:
+
+- What is blocked and why
+- What tool or access is missing
+- Exactly what the human must do
+- How to confirm completion
+- What the agent will do immediately after
+- What artifacts the agent will produce after access is restored
+
+Example:
+
+- Blocked: Cannot reach DB, VPN required.
+- Missing: Database client access to `db.host` and internal logs viewer.
+- Human steps: Connect VPN "CorpVPN", confirm access by running connectivity check to `db.host`, provide credentials or endpoint.
+- Confirmation: Reply "VPN ACTIVE" and "ACCESS READY".
+- Next: Agent runs migration verification script and captures schema diff and query outputs.
+
+Agents must pause until explicit human confirmation.
+
+Agents must never bypass security controls to proceed.
+
+---
+
+## Environments and Safety Rules
+
+### Allowed Environments
+
+- Local development
+- Preview environments
+- Staging
+- Production read-only, only if explicitly approved and configured for safe access
+
+### Prohibited Actions Without Human Approval
+
+- Writing to production data stores
+- Disabling MFA or security policies
+- Modifying IAM roles or firewall rules beyond scoped change requests
+- Running destructive migrations
+- Triggering external billing or payment flows
+
+If an operation is irreversible or risky, escalate first.
+
+---
+
+## Artifact Storage and PR Requirements
+
+Every PR must include:
+
+- Goal summary
+- Verification level
+- Proof artifacts links or embedded outputs
+- How to reproduce verification locally
+- Known limitations and follow-up items
+
+Preferred artifact locations:
+
+- PR description
+- Repo-local scripts under `scripts/verification/`
+- CI artifacts linked from the build
+
+---
+
+## Definition of Done
+
+A task is done only when:
+
+- End user is identified
+- All applicable verification types are classified and executed
+- Verification lifecycle is completed (classify, check tooling, plan, execute, codify, spec conformance, loop)
+- Required verification surfaces and tooling surfaces are used or explicitly unavailable
+- Proof artifacts are captured
+- Every passing empirical verification is codified as a regression test (or has an explicit, documented skip reason from the allowed set)
+- For a leaf work unit, every `[EVIDENCE: name]` marker declared in its Validation Journey has a captured, non-empty artifact attached to the ticket (the evidence manifest is fully satisfied)
+- Spec conformance verdict is `CONFORMS` (not `PARTIAL`, not `DIVERGES`)
+- Verification level is declared
+- Risks and gaps are documented
+
+If any of these are missing, the work is not complete.

+
+## Orchestration: agent team
+
+If you are NOT already operating inside an agent team (no prior successful team-creation or subagent-delegation tool call in this session, not spawned into a team context), the very first thing you do is establish team orchestration.
+
+Use the team tool for the current runtime:
+
+- Claude: use `TeamCreate`. If `TeamCreate` has not been loaded yet, first use `ToolSearch` with `query: "select:TeamCreate"` to load its schema.
+- Codex: do not call `TeamCreate`; Codex does not expose that Claude tool. Use `tool_search` with a query like `multi-agent tools` to load `multi_agent_v1`, then use `multi_agent_v1.spawn_agent` for teammate delegation. Treat the first successful `spawn_agent` call as establishing team orchestration.
+- Other runtimes: use the current runtime's tool-discovery mechanism to discover and call the appropriate multi-agent/team tool.
+
+If no team creation or subagent delegation tool is available, explicitly state that team orchestration is unavailable in this runtime, continue as the lead agent, and preserve the workflow's review, verification, and task-tracking obligations locally.
+
+Until the team is established, the first Codex teammate has been spawned, or the no-team fallback has been declared, do NOT call any of: `Agent`, `TaskCreate`, `Skill`, MCP tools (Atlassian / Linear / GitHub / Notion), `Read`, `Write`, `Edit`, `Bash`, `Grep`, `Glob`. Inspecting the branch, running quality gates, opening the PR — all of those are tasks for the team you are about to create, not for the lead session before orchestration exists.
+
+If you ARE already inside an agent team (e.g., a teammate invoked this skill via the Skill tool), do NOT create a second team — many harnesses reject double-creates — and do NOT collapse the nested flow into a single inline worker. A nested team-first flow must still bring in the specialists it requires by adding them to the existing team, not by doing the work itself:
+
+- **Claude:** teams are flat and only the lead can add named teammates, so do NOT call `Agent` with a `name` from a teammate (the harness rejects it: *"Teammates cannot spawn other teammates — the team roster is flat"*). Send the team lead a message naming the specialist teammate(s) this flow needs, their task assignments, and completion criteria, then coordinate through the shared task list until they finish. An anonymous subagent (`Agent` with `name` omitted) is permitted only for bounded one-shot work whose result returns directly to you — it is not a substitute for the required lifecycle specialists.
+- **Codex:** do NOT call `TeamCreate`. If the lead/root agent is addressable (you were given its id/handle), send it a request to `multi_agent_v1.spawn_agent` the specialist agent(s), including each agent's prompt, ownership, and expected result. If no lead handle exists but `spawn_agent` is available to you, spawn only the bounded specialist agent(s) this flow needs, `wait_agent` for their results, and relay those results upward to the parent/lead.
+
+Treat the first successful lead-spawn request (or, on the Codex fallback, the first specialist spawn) as preserving team orchestration. Never satisfy a team-first lifecycle flow by doing all the work inline.
+
+## Flow
+
+Execute the **Verify** flow as defined in the `intent-routing` rule (loaded via the lisa plugin). The flow includes:
+
+1. **Pre-flight: codification gate** — confirm that every passing local empirical verification on this branch was codified as a regression test (the Implement flow's codify step). If any verification has no committed test and no allowed skip reason (PR / Documentation / Deploy / Investigate-Only), invoke `codify-verification` now and amend the PR before shipping. A change cannot ship until its verifications are guarded.
+2. **Commit** any pending changes via `lisa-git-commit`
+3. **Push and PR** via `lisa-git-submit-pr`
+4. **Review loop** — handle CodeRabbit / human review comments via `lisa-pull-request-review`
+5. **Merge** when CI is green
+6. **Remote verification** — invoke the `lisa-monitor` skill against the target environment **in report-only mode** (`lisa-monitor <env> --report-only`) to confirm the deploy actually works (health endpoints, recent logs/errors, Validation Journey replay if defined). `--report-only` is required here: it keeps the post-deploy check a pure health/audit report and prevents monitor's standalone ticket-filing from creating issues during a verify run. If remote verification surfaces a behavioral gap that the existing codified tests do not guard, invoke `codify-verification` to add coverage and open a follow-up PR.
+   - When remote verification needs credentials, follow the shared `verification-lifecycle` credential lookup order before declaring them missing: project e2e / Playwright config and fixtures first, then `.lisa.config.local.json` / environment variables, then documented ticket credentials such as a `Sign-in Required` section.
+   - Should credentials remain genuinely unavailable after those sources are exhausted, do not complete the item on artifact-only evidence. Post a tracker comment stating what could not be verified and why, transition the work item to the configured blocked state, and apply the configured `needs-human` / `human-review` label, creating it if the tracker supports label creation and it is missing.
+   - Evidence must explicitly distinguish `verified empirically` from `artifact-only / verification deferred`.
+7. **Evidence usage** — before posting, route the generated evidence artifact through `lisa-usage-accounting` so the comment body / PR evidence section / markdown proof carries a direct `lisa-verify` usage entry in the canonical `## Lisa Usage` section. If the originating work item or PRD parentage is known, prefer `record_and_rollup` so ancestor totals refresh in the same pass. If runtime usage is unavailable, still write `source: unavailable` with nullable token/cost fields instead of skipping the row.
+8. **Evidence** — post results to the originating ticket via `lisa-tracker-evidence` (vendor-neutral; dispatches to `lisa-jira-evidence`, `lisa-github-evidence`, or `lisa-linear-evidence` per `.lisa.config.json` `tracker`), including the list of codified tests added on this branch. **If the work is UI-visible** (any verification step ran in a browser, or the change touches a user-facing surface), author `evidence/comment.md` per the **UI Evidence Checklist** in `lisa-tracker-evidence` — numbered live-session steps, one Playwright-MCP screenshot per step uploaded to the GitHub `pr-assets` release as plain URLs, and an explicit invitation to be corrected.
+
+The rule contains the canonical step sequence. Change it there, propagate everywhere.
+
+## Output
+
+A merged PR, a successful deploy to the target environment, and posted evidence on the originating work item.
