Proof of Done — The Agentic Software Development Manifesto. When agents write the code, done is a state of the system that can be proven.

README
Proof of Done: The Agentic Software Development Manifesto

**The standard for building software with AI agents.**

When agents write the code, done is not the last message of the run. Done is a state of the system that can be proven.

The reference implementation
The process this document argues for is packaged as installable skills and Claude Code plugins — [`sshlg-skills`](https://github.com/ssheleg/sshlg-skills):
npx sshlg-skills install
The implementation is evidence that this process can run. It is not the authority for the manifesto: the four-field protocol, the three graphs and the seam walk survive every tool and package name in that repository changing.
The smallest version of it
DONE
What became true.
PROOF
What was executed or observed, and where the result lives.
SCOPE
The commit, environment, requirements, and surfaces covered.
NOT VERIFIED
What was not checked, could not be checked, or remains uncertain.
`NOT VERIFIED: none within the stated scope` is a valid answer. Silence is not.
