Building & Agents Checkpoint
Status: The gate after Building & Agents · no badge, no certificate — the right to continue
The artifact
The working build + its evaluation record — the solution contract, the narrow-agent design, and the verification record with its explicit ready / needs changes / not ready decision.
What you must demonstrate
You are getting value from this pack when you can:
- Write a precise solution contract before building
- Limit access and irreversible actions by design
- Keep agents narrow and composable
- Make behavior observable and failure detectable
- Refuse to call something "done" without real verification
The standard
Your artifact is scored against the Verification Rubrics — six criteria: Clarity, Grounding, Accountability, Verification, Uncertainty, Decision quality.
Passing means:
- At least Acceptable on every criterion
- Strong on Accountability and Verification
- The filters are applied without being prompted
- You can explain what would make you change your mind
- You do not treat fluent AI output as finished work
Anything less is incomplete — revise it.
If you are still weak
If you are still starting from a tool or a demo and trying to add safety later, stay here and do the contract and isolation work first.
What the gate gives you
The right to move on to the next pack. That is the whole reward, and it is the one that matters.
