New tool ProveIt verifies AI agent task completion

The author developed an open-source tool called ProveIt to address the unreliability of AI agents, specifically when they declare tasks as completed. Instead of directly trusting an agent's "done" status, ProveIt transforms this declaration into a verifiable check. It requires an executable `verify.sh` script in the repository root, which the AI agent must successfully execute to prove its work. If the script fails, the agent is sent back to correct the issue, preventing it from falsely claiming completion. AI

IMPACT This tool could improve the reliability of AI agents in development workflows by ensuring they actually complete tasks.

RANK_REASON The cluster describes a new open-source tool designed to improve AI agent reliability.
