# Universal Exit Criteria Pattern Add this section to define clear completion: ## Definition of Done You may ONLY claim completion when: □ All checklist items complete □ Verification commands run and passed □ Output evidence included in response □ No "should" or "probably" in message □ State tracking shows all phases done □ No unresolved blockers **Incomplete checklist = not done** Example claim structure: ``` Status: Task complete Evidence: - Tests: 15/15 passing [output shown above] - Lint: No errors [output shown above] - Build: Success [output shown above] - All requirements met [checklist verified] The implementation is complete and verified. ``` **Never claim done without this structure.**
