# Verification planning

Map the affected contracts to existing tests, build commands, and manual checks. Recommend additional coverage only where current evidence cannot catch a credible failure, and explain what each proposed check would establish.

Package version: 0.1.0-beta.7.

Included with [Faye Coding Assistant](/plugins/faye-coding-assistant/).

## When to use

Use this when you want a test strategy, command selection, coverage plan, or manual QA plan.

## What to provide

- The proposed or completed change and its material risks.
- Existing test commands, relevant test files, runtime constraints, and any acceptance requirements.

## Expected results

- A prioritized set of checks with the behavior each one proves.
- Targeted coverage recommendations and material gaps classified by importance.

## Example requests

### Try this request

#### Codex

```
$verification-planning Choose checks for the new skill-guide template. Cover direct links, example text, related skills, keyboard access, and narrow-screen layout without duplicating existing tests.
```

#### Grok

```
/verification-planning Choose checks for the new skill-guide template. Cover direct links, example text, related skills, keyboard access, and narrow-screen layout without duplicating existing tests.
```

#### Antigravity

```
/verification-planning Choose checks for the new skill-guide template. Cover direct links, example text, related skills, keyboard access, and narrow-screen layout without duplicating existing tests.
```

## Requirements

- Access to the changed behavior and existing verification setup.

## Scope and limitations

- The planning workflow does not run checks or edit tests.
- When the same request authorizes execution, the parent can run the selected checks after the recommendation is established.
- A request to run already-named commands does not need this planning step.
