Give me a short checklist for a reusable fact-check pass. I want something I can run before I call the work done.
a reusable fact-check pass, minus the vague advice
The useful bit was asking for trade-offs and a smallest test before committing to a full plan.
Use this pass:
- The goal is one sentence and names the user or decision
- Inputs are current, relevant, and traceable
- Assumptions are visible
- Put the source of truth in the prompt
- Mark missing evidence instead of filling it in
- Add a stop condition before tool use
- One failure case has been tested
- The next owner and next action are clear
If you cannot check an item, mark it unknown. Do not quietly treat unknown as done.
Saving this. The unknown-versus-done line catches most of my shortcuts.
