New tool ensures AI coding agents prove completion before finishing

A developer has created a tool called "agent-done-or-not" to address a common frustration with AI coding agents: their tendency to claim completion without verifying their work. This small utility wraps verification commands, records their output and exit codes, and prevents the AI agent from finalizing its task unless a recent, passing check is confirmed. The tool is designed to be dependency-free and compatible with various AI coding assistants like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor, aiming to provide a "proof-of-done" receipt for executed checks. AI

IMPACT This tool could improve the reliability of AI coding agents by ensuring they validate their work before reporting completion.

RANK_REASON The item describes a new software tool for AI coding agents.
