# Verification Rubric Verification-rubric is the judging discipline for a `task_gates` entry whose `verification_type` is `semantic` or `self_review`: it reads the gate's `evidence_shape` as an explicit rubric, assesses the produced work against each stated criterion independently, and emits a structured, justified pass/fail verdict -- never a hollow "looks fine." It is the judgment-based counterpart to the deterministic-oracle mode, which re-runs a `command`/`code` gate and diffs the result; there is no command to re-run here, only evidence to weigh against criteria. ## Core principle Two of the four `verification_type` values (`gaia.state.VALID_VERIFICATION_TYPES`, `gaia/state/__init__.py`) route to this skill: **`semantic`** (`evidence_shape` carries an externally authored rubric -- the contract-envelope's own `requires_human` marker names the same discipline: "needs human/rubric validation") and **`self_review`** (`evidence_shape` is the producer's own statement of what it checked -- the envelope's `reviewed` field is the same idea, and it is the honesty-rule floor from `agent-protocol`, not a shortcut around it). Both are LLM-as-judge tasks, not code execution. Three forces shape the judgment: - **Explicit criteria beat holistic impression.** Read the rubric as a list of discrete, independently-checkable claims, not one paragraph to eyeball. A verdict built on an overall feeling collapses the moment someone asks "which part, exactly?" - **Judge each criterion
