Overview
Use this validation sequence before accepting or publishing an agent-built artifact.
- Confirm the artifact type.
Is it the requested app, site, presentation, image, video, report, or workflow?
- Open or run it.
Do not accept the presence of files as proof that the product works.
- Test the visible functions.
Check navigation, interactive controls, links, previews, or other behaviors that the artifact is supposed to provide.
- Compare it with the task conditions.
Verify the niche, branding, content, format, and other stated requirements.
- Correct concretely.
State the observed failure and the exact desired behavior. "Make sure this is running and open it in the browser" is more actionable than "fix it."
- Re-run and inspect again.
Continue until the operational result, not merely the agent's status message, satisfies the need.
- Publish or export only after validation.
- Use restart, reset, backup, or restore when the environment itself is the problem.
