Evidence Gate

  • Updated June 25, 2026
  • random1st/groundwork

A discipline skill that refuses to claim completion without proof: it identifies the command that would prove a claim, runs it fresh, reads the actual output, and reports PASS or FAIL with evidence. A developer uses it to stop false 'done' claims and force verification.

Key points

  • No completion without proof
  • Runs the proving command fresh
  • Reads actual output
  • Reports PASS/FAIL with evidence

What it does

Refuse to claim completion without proof — run the proving command fresh, read real output, and report PASS/FAIL.

README.md

groundwork

Personal Claude Code plugin marketplace — random1st/groundwork.

Five plugins that turn a single AI session into a calibrated one — independent multi-model audit, a deeper two-round debate audit, cross-CLI delegation, a reasoning baseline, and an evidence-before-claim verification gate. Plus a project-agnostic AGENTS.md template that documents the discipline behind them.

No coupling to any personal runtime. Each plugin uses raw CLIs (claude, codex, gemini, grok) or standard Claude Code conventions.

Install

/plugin marketplace add random1st/groundwork
/plugin install <plugin-name>@groundwork

Plugins

tribunal

Independent code review by two other AI CLIs. Whichever CLI you are running stays as the arbiter; the two others (any combo of Claude, Codex, Gemini) audit the code in parallel and you read both verdicts before deciding. Use for pre-merge reviews, security-critical code, and changes you don't want to ship alone.

conclave

The deep sibling of tribunal — two rounds instead of one. Every other CLI (Claude, Codex, Gemini, Grok) audits independently at max effort, then each one re-judges after reading every round-1 verdict; the arbiter synthesizes all of it. A closing GPT-5.5 historian scores each model on the run and appends one JSON line to a history log, so over time you can see which models actually audit best. For the hardest calls — auth, payments, crypto, irreversible migrations, pre-prod deploys — where a single pass isn't enough.

delegate

Routing matrix for sending work to another AI CLI. Tells you which model and which reasoning effort to use for each task — code review, architecture analysis, whole-project scans, quick documentation. Uses raw codex exec and gemini binaries; no wrapper required.

fpf

Reasoning baseline plus a local builder for the full FPF corpus. The SKILL.md ships the always-loaded operational subset — ADI cycle, calibration tags, I/D/S discipline, weakest-link heuristic. A bundled refresh.sh script pulls the upstream ailev/FPF spec on first use and splits it into navigable modules, cards, and a relation graph; re-runs are a silent no-op when upstream hasn't moved (caches the commit SHA). No FPF text is bundled — every user builds their own derivative locally against the latest upstream. Requires python3 (stdlib only) and curl.

evidence-gate

Refuses to claim completion without proof. Identifies the command that would prove the claim, runs it fresh, reads the actual output, and reports PASS or FAIL with the evidence. Companion to the tag discipline in fpf — the gate that makes [OBSERVED] tags trustworthy.

Template: AGENTS.md

templates/AGENTS.md is one canonical instructions file usable by any agentic CLI. Same content, just copy to wherever your CLI looks:

  • Codex → ~/.codex/AGENTS.md or <repo>/AGENTS.md
  • Claude Code → ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md or <repo>/CLAUDE.md
  • Gemini → ~/.gemini/GEMINI.md or <repo>/GEMINI.md

It includes the universal core (Constitution, Calibration, FPF, Protocol) plus a compact CLI Quick Reference covering native mechanics of all three CLIs.

Prerequisites

tribunal, conclave, and delegate shell out to the other providers' CLIs. Install and authenticate the ones you use before invoking:

  • codex
  • gemini
  • grok (the grok.com CLI; grok models confirms login)

conclave additionally runs gpt-5.5 through codex for its scoring historian, and reads back the log with jq. evidence-gate is pure guidance — no external tooling needed. fpf ships a builder for its corpus but no external tooling beyond python3 and curl.
