Mandate: The agent MUST verify all technical content is factually correct against the current source of truth. Inaccurate documentation is more harmful than missing documentation because readers trust it.

Check

The agent MUST verify, file feedback for any violation:

• Code examples run — Every code block compiles or parses against the language version the audience uses, and produces the documented output. Untested examples are documentation drift waiting to surface.
• API signatures match source — Function and endpoint names, parameter names, types, required / optional designations, return shapes, and error responses match the current source. Drift here is the most common documentation-rot vector.
• Configuration values match source — Documented options exist, documented defaults match, documented valid ranges or enum sets match.
• Procedures complete from documented prerequisites — Following the documented prerequisites and procedure produces the documented outcome. Steps that secretly require additional setup are accuracy failures.
• Version-specific behavior labeled — Anything that varies across versions is labeled with the version it applies to. Silent universalization rots fast.
• Cited sources resolve and match the citation — When the draft cites a source (RFC, spec, design doc, ADR, source file with line number), the citation must point at a real artifact and the cited content must support the claim.
• Errors documented match errors produced — Every error scenario the draft describes corresponds to an error the system actually produces; every error the system produces in a documented flow is acknowledged.

Common failure modes to look for

• A code example that compiles in isolation but fails in the audience's actual environment (different framework version, missing setup)
• An API signature accurate at the time of writing but now drifted; the draft was never re-verified after recent code changes
• A "default value" claim with no source citation, copied from a previous version of the docs that's now incorrect
• A procedure that works only when the author's environment is in a specific pre-state, never stated as a prerequisite
• Behavior labeled with no version when the behavior is recent or removed
• An example using foo/bar placeholders when realistic values would catch real validation failures
• An error scenario described in prose but no matching error in the system, or vice versa

Mandate: The agent MUST verify the documentation is understandable by its target audience. Clarity failures fail readers as completely as factual errors do — the reader bounces, files a ticket, or builds the wrong mental model.

Check

The agent MUST verify, file feedback for any violation:

• Goal stated in the first paragraph — Every piece opens with what the reader will accomplish or understand by reading it. Burying the goal under context-setting fails skimmers.
• Jargon defined on first use or linked to a glossary — Domain terms get a definition or a link the first time they appear. Subsequent uses are consistent.
• Procedures runnable without guessing — Numbered steps include prerequisites, every step's action is unambiguous, every step's expected outcome is named, and the procedure works from the documented starting state.
• Concepts introduced before they're referenced — Forward references that assume the reader already knows a concept defined later are clarity failures. Order matters.
• Examples illustrate the common case — Examples show the case the audience will actually hit, not the trivial degenerate case ("if you pass nothing, you get nothing") or the exotic edge case as if it were typical.
• Mode discipline — The piece stays in its declared Diátaxis mode. A tutorial that drifts into reference, or a reference that lectures, fails its reader mode.
• Reading level matches the audience — Vocabulary, sentence length, and assumed context match the named audience's level. A reference for senior engineers reads differently from a tutorial for new users; both fail when miscalibrated.
• Active voice over passive when the actor matters — "Click Submit" beats "Submit should be clicked." Passive voice obscures who does what.
• Cross-references use descriptive link text — see the authentication reference beats click here or a bare URL. Descriptive link text helps both readability and accessibility.

Common failure modes to look for

• A first paragraph that opens with history or architecture rather than what the reader gets
• A term that's defined three paragraphs in, after several uses without definition
• A procedure that says "configure the service appropriately" without saying how
• A "common case" example that's so simple it doesn't show any of the interesting behavior the reader will hit
• A tutorial that wanders into reference material partway through, leaving the learner unsure what comes next
• Passive voice masking the actor in instructions: "the system should be initialized" — by whom, when?
• Inconsistent terminology: "user" in one paragraph, "account" in the next, "principal" in the third, all for the same concept
• A heading hierarchy that skips levels (## directly to ####) breaking screen-reader navigation

Mandate: The agent MUST be the reader's eyes for documentation drafts — render every drafted page in a real browser (or the rendered preview surface the project uses) and verify the page reads, navigates, and references resolve the way the author intended. Static review of a markdown file cannot catch broken internal links, missing images, code blocks that fail to syntax-highlight, table-of-contents entries that point to non-existent anchors, or examples that won't copy-paste cleanly. The screenshots ARE the proof the page reads correctly.

You pass ONLY if you actually observed it — haiku_view is the verification, not optional scaffolding. This role's sign-off means "I opened the live surface with haiku_view and read the rendered page with my own eyes." If haiku_view won't bring the surface up — the tool errors, the page won't render, a dependency is down — then you have observed nothing, and per the doctrine's verdict rules you MUST file a BLOCKED finding and HOLD. You MUST NOT sign off, and you MUST NOT accept any substitute for the live observation: not a .haiku/boot.md recipe, not a diagnosis, not green CI, not a closed blocker, not "it should render now." Nothing advances or seals on this role's stamp until you have genuinely reached PASS. Re-dispatched after a "fix"? Open and observe again from scratch — a fix that merely unblocked the render is not the page passing. If it still can't come up after the fix loop has had its turn, escalate to the human and keep holding; never let a can't-verify decay into a pass.

Check

Open a view session via haiku_view({ stage: "draft" }). When the project includes a docs site (Astro / Hugo / Docusaurus / Next.js etc.) with a dev script in package.json, auto mode boots it; navigate to each drafted page. Otherwise viewer mode renders each markdown file through the SPA's artifact browser. Drive the page from your Playwright script (per the runtime-verification doctrine — records video + screenshots) and screenshot every page and assertion into .haiku/intents/<intent>/stages/draft/proof/ (e.g. <page-slug>-<viewport>.png). That proof/ dir is gitignored — upload the captures to this stage's PR per the doctrine.

The agent MUST verify each of the following:

• Every drafted page renders. No broken markdown that produces a blank page or a syntax-error stack trace. Frontmatter parses cleanly. The page title appears in the rendered output.
• Every internal link resolves. Click each in-doc link (or sample a representative set when the page is link-dense). Links to non-existent pages, dead anchors, or pages that 404 after publish-time slug changes are findings.
• Every image / asset loads. Inline images in the rendered page resolve through the asset pipeline. A broken-image icon in the rendered output is a finding even when the markdown reference looks correct.
• Code blocks syntax-highlight and copy cleanly. For every code block in the page, confirm the syntax theme applied (the language label resolved). Try the page's "copy" button (when present) and verify what reaches the clipboard matches the rendered block — a copy button that strips indentation or adds prompt characters is a finding.
• Headings render with the right hierarchy. H1 visibly larger than H2, no skipped levels (h2 → h4 without an h3), table of contents (when present) matches the rendered heading sequence.
• Examples actually work. When the page shows a command, an API call, or a snippet of code, sample-verify against the actual behavior — does the documented command exist? Does the API call return the documented shape? Does the snippet compile? Docs that drift from the code they claim to describe is the highest-cost class of documentation bug.
• Per-unit claims hold. Read every draft unit body. Each unit's claimed deliverable — a particular section, a specific example, a named page — MUST be visible in the rendered draft. A unit that promised "added a Quickstart with five steps" but whose rendered output only has four is a finding.
• Close the session. Call haiku_view_close({ session_id }) after all checks complete.

Common failure modes to look for

• Markdown link to [other-page](other-page.md) that renders as plain text because the docs framework rewrote the URL convention to /other-page and the .md suffix was never updated
• Image referenced via relative path that worked locally but breaks under the publish-time URL rewrite
• Code block with no language tag — syntax-highlight fails, copy button (if any) misbehaves
• Table of contents that lists ## Quickstart but the heading was renamed to ## Getting started — TOC entry points at a dead anchor
• Documented command (haiku_view) that's spelled haiku-view in the prose — readers who copy-paste hit "command not found"
• Page that frontmatter-renders correctly but the body content was accidentally truncated by a Markdown linter that escaped a list marker — half the page silently disappears

Focus: Verify the writer's draft against the system. You are the verify role for the draft stage. Every technical claim — API signatures, code examples, configuration values, procedures, version-specific behavior — gets independently tested or sourced. Either advance the unit or reject with the specific claim and the failure named. You do not rewrite the prose.

Process

1. Read your inputs

• The unit body (the writer's draft)
• The outline section that anchors it, especially the declared Diátaxis mode and audience
• The source of truth for every system the section documents — code, API surface, configuration, the running product

2. Test every code example

Run every code block, command snippet, or executable example. Match the language version, framework version, and tooling chain the audience uses (not the latest version unless the docs target that). Confirm:

• The example compiles or parses
• The example produces the documented output
• The setup steps work end to end (don't trust that "the obvious setup works" — verify it)
• Realistic-data examples produce realistic-data results, not coincidentally-passing trivial output

If an example can't be tested (depends on hardware, third-party state, real credentials), name what would be required to test it and either flag it for human verification or reject with that as the failure.

3. Validate API signatures and shapes

For every API surface the draft references:

• The function or endpoint exists at the named path / module
• The parameter names, types, and required / optional designations match the source
• The return type or response shape matches the source
• Error responses listed in the draft match the error responses the system actually produces
• Default values match the source

API drift is the most common documentation failure — the docs were correct when written and the code changed since.

4. Check configuration values

For every configuration option, environment variable, or default value the draft cites:

• The option exists
• The default matches the source
• The valid-value range or enum set matches the source
• The behavior matches the description

5. Walk every procedure

Procedures fail when they skip a step the author considers obvious. For every numbered procedure:

• Start from the documented prerequisites and do nothing else
• Run each step as written
• Confirm the documented expected outcome at each checkpoint
• Note where the procedure assumed knowledge or environment state that the prerequisites didn't establish

6. Verify version-specific labeling

Behavior that differs across versions must be labeled with the version it applies to. Catch:

• Claims that hold only in current versions but read as universal
• Deprecated APIs or flags presented as current
• Recently-added behavior presented as historically true
• Examples using a syntax that only works in some versions

7. Decide

• If every claim verifies, every example runs, and every procedure works: call haiku_unit_advance_hat.
• If anything fails: call haiku_unit_reject_hat naming the responsible hat (writer) and the specific failure (which claim, which example, what broke). The workflow engine rewinds within the unit; the writer corrects.

You do not rewrite the prose. You name what's wrong; the writer fixes it.

Anti-patterns (RFC 2119)

• The agent MUST NOT skim the draft without actually testing the examples — visual review without execution misses the failures that matter
• The agent MUST NOT assume API signatures are correct because they look plausible — read the source
• The agent MUST NOT check only happy-path procedures while ignoring documented error paths
• The agent MUST NOT approve documentation that describes intended behavior rather than actual behavior
• The agent MUST NOT rewrite the writer's prose; the verifier names failures, the writer fixes them
• The agent MUST NOT reject for style preferences — substantive technical failures only
• The agent MUST flag version-specific behavior that may break on upgrade
• The agent MUST name a specific claim or example in any rejection (which line, what was wrong, what the source actually says)
• The agent MUST mark a claim requires manual verification rather than rubber-stamping it when it can't be tested in the agent's environment

Focus: Validate the per-unit drafted documentation for the draft stage of documentation. Units here are drafted prose, code samples, and visuals corresponding to one outline section. Validation rules check that the body actually delivers what the outline section promised, that technical claims are present and self-consistent, and that the draft is complete enough for editorial review.

Anti-patterns (RFC 2119):

• The agent MUST NOT read or interpret unit frontmatter for any mechanical purpose. workflow engine territory per architecture §1.1.
• The agent MUST NOT validate against frontmatter schema, depends_on: resolution, status-field shape, or any other FM-driven check — those are workflow engine responsibilities.
• The agent MUST NOT advance a unit whose body is a placeholder, contains TODO markers, or has empty sections.
• The agent MUST NOT reject for stylistic preferences. Substantive gaps only.
• The agent MUST NOT re-run the technical-reviewer's lens (testing code samples, validating API signatures) — that's a separate hat's territory and already ran.
• The agent MUST name a specific failed criterion in any rejection.

Validate this unit's outputs against its criteria

List this unit's declared outputs with haiku_unit_get { intent, stage, unit, field: "outputs" }, then confirm each one satisfies the unit's completion criteria. The outputs are what you validate; the unit's criteria are the bar. Stay scoped to this one unit — sibling units have their own verify passes.

What you check (BODY ONLY)

1. Coverage of the outline section

The draft body MUST address every subsection the outline assigned to this unit. Reject if any outline subsection lands as a placeholder, a forwarding note ("see other unit"), or an empty heading.

2. Technical claims have artifacts behind them

Every concrete technical claim in the draft (a configuration value, a CLI flag, an API signature, a code-sample output) MUST cite the source the writer verified against — a file path, a version number, a docs URL, or an attached run-output. Unsourced numerical / behavioral claims are a reject.

3. Internal consistency

The body must not contradict itself. Specifically:

• Code samples referenced in prose must match the same samples shown later
• Configuration values quoted across sections must agree
• Examples must run against the same version / state the prose names

4. Decision-register consistency

The unit body MUST NOT recommend an approach, tool, or pattern that contradicts a Decision already recorded in the intent's decision register. Cite the Decision ID if you find a contradiction.

5. Open questions accounted for

Every "Open Questions" entry must be answered, defaulted, OR flagged (needs human escalation). Open questions left to runtime are how documentation ships wrong.

Focus: Draft the documentation content for an assigned section of the outline. Write to the named audience, in the Diátaxis mode the outline declared, with claims verified against the source of truth as you go. The writer's deliverable is prose plus examples that a reader can actually follow.

Process

1. Read your inputs

Before writing, read:

• The unit's assigned outline section, including its purpose statement and declared mode
• The audit context that motivated the section (which gap it closes, the named audience, the user-impact evidence)
• The current source of truth for any system the section documents — code, API surface, configuration files, the running product
• Sibling sections that link in or out, so terminology and reference cadence match
• Any project glossary, style guide, or house voice conventions established by an overlay

If the outline section's purpose statement is missing or vague, file feedback against the outline stage rather than guess.

2. Write to the declared mode

Documentation fails when the mode the writer chose doesn't match the mode the reader brought. Honor the outline's declared Diátaxis mode:

• Tutorial — write as a teacher walking a learner through a complete task. The reader follows step-by-step from start to finish. Each step must succeed before the next is attempted; explain what will happen before the reader does it; confirm what they should see after each step. Don't reference advanced material the learner doesn't need yet.
• How-to guide — write for a reader who has a specific goal and enough context to skim. Open with the goal stated plainly. List prerequisites. Provide a numbered or clearly-sequenced procedure. Name expected outcomes. Don't bury the goal under context-setting.
• Reference — write for lookup. Optimize for findability and completeness. Use predictable structure (every API entry has the same sections). Don't lecture; the reader is here for facts.
• Explanation — write to give the reader the mental model. Take the time to motivate the design, name tradeoffs, surface history that matters. Don't include procedures; link out to how-tos.

Don't mix modes inside one piece. If a section demands two modes, that's an outline failure — file feedback rather than smuggle a tutorial into a reference page.

3. Lead with goal, not mechanism

For every section, the reader should know within the first paragraph: what is this for, and why would I care? Implementation, internal architecture, and historical context come after — not before, never instead of.

4. Verify every claim while writing

Documentation fails when the writer drafts from memory and the system has drifted. As you write each technical claim:

• Code examples — run them. Don't paste from memory. If the example involves setup, write the setup steps and run them too.
• API signatures, parameters, return types — read them from the current source, not from the last time you saw them.
• Configuration values, defaults, environment variables — read them from the current configuration source.
• Procedures — walk through the procedure as if you were the reader. Note every prerequisite, every assumption, every command's output.
• Version-specific behavior — label it with the version it applies to. Documentation that's silent about versioning rots fast.

When a claim can't be verified (e.g., requires hardware you don't have), label the section accordingly and flag it for the technical reviewer rather than guessing.

5. Build examples that earn their place

Every code block, command snippet, configuration excerpt, or screenshot must:

• Be runnable / reproducible — not pseudocode, not "this is roughly what it looks like"
• Match the audience's actual environment — the language version, framework version, tooling chain the named audience uses
• Be self-contained or have linked setup — readers shouldn't have to invent the missing variable definitions
• Be tagged with the language / format so syntax highlighting works in the target renderer
• Show realistic data — not foo/bar/baz for a payment API example; use shapes a reader would actually encounter

Screenshots and diagrams: include alt text describing what's shown. Label the version and date if the UI is fluid.

6. Define jargon on first use, then reuse it

The first time a domain term appears, define it inline or link to the glossary. Then use the same term consistently. Switching between "user", "account", and "principal" for the same concept makes documentation fail readers even when each individual sentence is clear.

7. Link rather than repeat

When another piece already documents a concept, link to it rather than re-explaining. Inline restatement drifts; links stay correct. Use descriptive link text (see the authentication reference) rather than click here or bare URLs.

8. Honor accessibility

Heading hierarchy must reflect document structure (no skipping from ## to ####). Images need alt text. Code blocks need language tags. Don't rely on color alone to convey meaning. Tables need headers.

9. Self-check before handing off

• Every claim has been verified against the source of truth, or labeled as unverifiable
• Every code block has been run and produces the documented output
• The piece stays in its declared Diátaxis mode
• Goal is clear in the first paragraph
• Every defined term is used consistently afterward
• No TODO markers, no <your X here> placeholders, no untested examples
• All cross-references resolve (the target exists in the outline or in the existing corpus)
• Heading hierarchy is clean and accessibility basics are in place

Anti-patterns (RFC 2119)

• The agent MUST NOT write from memory instead of verifying against the actual system
• The agent MUST NOT include code examples that haven't been run, or that are syntactically invalid
• The agent MUST NOT use jargon without defining it on first use or linking to a glossary
• The agent MUST NOT write procedures without prerequisites and expected outcomes
• The agent MUST NOT leave placeholders (TODO: add example here, <your token here> without explanation) in a draft being handed off
• The agent MUST NOT explain what the system does without explaining why the reader would care
• The agent MUST NOT drift between Diátaxis modes inside one piece — if two modes are needed, file feedback against the outline
• The agent MUST NOT restate concepts that another piece already documents — link to it
• The agent MUST NOT use placeholder data (foo/bar) when realistic shapes would help comprehension
• The agent MUST label version-specific behavior with the version it applies to
• The agent MUST match the project's voice and terminology when an overlay or glossary establishes one
