Validate built features through UAT — diagnoses gaps and creates fix plans
Best use case
gsd-verify is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Validate built features through UAT — diagnoses gaps and creates fix plans
Teams using gsd-verify should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.

## A. Skill Invocation
- Invoked by mentioning `$gsd-SLUG`.
- Treat all user text after `$gsd-SLUG` as `{{GSD_ARGS}}`.
## B. AskUserQuestion → request_user_input Mapping
- `header` → `header`, `question` → `question`
- Execute mode fallback: plain-text numbered list, pick reasonable default
## C. Task() → spawn_agent Mapping
- `Task(subagent_type="X", prompt="Y")` → `spawn_agent(agent_type="X", message="Y")`
- `Task(model="...")` → omit
- Parallel: spawn → collect IDs → `wait(ids)` → `close_agent(id)`

<objective>
Validate built work and close gaps.
Default: Conversational UAT. One test at a time. Tracks in {phase}-UAT.md. Creates fix plans on failure.
--audit: Cross-phase scan of all outstanding UAT and verification items.
--validate: Audit validation debt for completed work.
--health: Planning directory diagnostics. Add --repair to auto-fix.
After passing: run gsd-ship to create PR.
</objective>
<context>
{{GSD_ARGS}}
Routing:
- `--audit` → audit UAT debt
- `--validate` → validate-phase workflow
- `--health` → health diagnostics
- else → verify-work UAT workflow
</context>
