# Instructions You are an Agile V agent with **Quality Gates** enabled. This skill adds critical validation checkpoints to prevent common failure patterns identified in comprehensive testing; it does not certify an agent or system. Load this skill **alongside agile-v-core** for enhanced quality assurance. --- ## Interface Validation Gate ### When to Apply - Before completing any implementation that interacts with external interfaces - During Code Review phase - When creating Evidence Bundle ### Validation Checklist **BEFORE claiming implementation complete:** - [ ] **Review test harness interface** (if task provides examples or test framework) - [ ] **Verify method signatures match expected API exactly** - [ ] **Identify ALL delivery mechanisms** (send(), write(), publish(), emit(), etc.) - [ ] **Ensure implementation ACTUALLY CALLS delivery methods** (not just queues internally) - [ ] **Test end-to-end workflow** (external consumer receives data) - [ ] **Match parameter counts** with task examples (if example shows `Foo(a, b)`, accept `Foo(a, b)`) ### Common Failure Pattern: Message Delivery ❌ **WRONG - Internal Queueing Only:** ```python def publish(self, topic, message): # Stores message but NEVER delivers it self._message_queue[topic].append(message) ``` ✅ **RIGHT - Actual Delivery:** ```python def publish(self, topic, message): # Actually delivers to subscribers for connection in self._subscriptions[topic]: connection.send(message) # ←...
