Verification Checklist — Subagents Report

Rules accumulate over time. Each workflow-changelog run MUST execute ALL rules at the specified depth. When a new type of drift is caught that an existing rule should have caught (but didn't exist or was too shallow), append a new rule here.

Depth Levels

Depth	Meaning	Example
`exists`	Check if a section/table/file exists	"Does the report have a Memory Scopes table?"
`presence-check`	Check if a specific item is present or absent	"Is the `color` field in the Frontmatter Fields table?"
`content-match`	Compare actual values word-by-word against source	"Does the `model` field description match official docs?"
`field-level`	Verify every individual field is accounted for	"Does each frontmatter field from official docs appear in the table?"
`cross-file`	Same value must match across multiple files	"Does CLAUDE.md agent section match the report's field list?"

1. Frontmatter Fields Table

Rules that verify the Frontmatter Fields table against official docs.

#	Category	Check	Depth	Compare Against	Added	Origin
1A	Field Completeness	For each agent frontmatter field in official docs, verify it appears in the report's Frontmatter Fields table	field-level	sub-agents reference page	2026-02-28	Initial checklist — ensures no new fields are missed
1B	Field Types	For each field in the table, verify the Type column matches official docs	content-match	sub-agents reference page	2026-02-28	Initial checklist — type mismatches cause user confusion
1C	Required Status	For each field, verify the Required column matches official docs	content-match	sub-agents reference page	2026-02-28	Initial checklist — wrong required status causes broken agents
1D	Field Descriptions	For each field, verify the Description column accurately reflects official docs behavior	content-match	sub-agents reference page	2026-02-28	Initial checklist — stale descriptions mislead users

2. Memory Scopes

Rules that verify the Memory Scopes table.

#	Category	Check	Depth	Compare Against	Added	Origin
2A	Scope Completeness	Verify all memory scopes from official docs appear in the Memory Scopes table	field-level	sub-agents reference page	2026-02-28	Initial checklist — new scopes could be added
2B	Storage Locations	For each scope, verify the Storage Location column matches official docs	content-match	sub-agents reference page	2026-02-28	Initial checklist — wrong paths cause data loss

3. Examples

Rules that verify example accuracy.

#	Category	Check	Depth	Compare Against	Added	Origin
3A	Minimal Example	Verify the minimal example uses only required fields with valid syntax	content-match	sub-agents reference page	2026-02-28	Initial checklist — minimal example should stay minimal
3B	Full-Featured Example	Verify the full-featured example demonstrates ALL available frontmatter fields	field-level	sub-agents reference page	2026-02-28	Initial checklist — full example must show every field

4. Scope & Priority

Rules that verify scope and priority information.

#	Category	Check	Depth	Compare Against	Added	Origin
4A	Priority Order	Verify the Scope and Priority table lists all agent locations in correct priority order	content-match	sub-agents reference page + CLI reference page	2026-02-28	Initial checklist — wrong priority order causes resolution bugs

5. Cross-File Consistency

Rules that verify consistency between the report and other repo files.

#	Category	Check	Depth	Compare Against	Added	Origin
5A	CLAUDE.md Sync	Verify CLAUDE.md's Subagent Definition Structure section lists the same fields as the report's Frontmatter Fields table	cross-file	CLAUDE.md vs report	2026-02-28	Initial checklist — CLAUDE.md could drift from report

6. Process

Meta-rules about the workflow verification process itself.

#	Category	Check	Depth	Compare Against	Added	Origin
6A	Source Credibility Guard	Only flag items as drift if confirmed by official sources (sub-agents reference page, CLI reference page, GitHub changelog). Third-party blog sources may be outdated or wrong — use them for leads only, verify against official docs before flagging	content-match	official docs only	2026-02-28	Adopted from voice-hooks workflow — prevents false positives from blog sources
