Dialogue: Verify Logging Compliance

Dialogue: Verify Logging Compliance

Validate that required decision and observation logging occurred during process execution.

When to Use

Use this skill:

• Before presenting work for human approval
• As a validation step in capability flows
• When auditing whether dialogue protocol was followed

What It Checks

The verification checks for:

How to Verify

Option 1: Quick Check (Manual)

Review the logs directly:

# Count decisions with a specific context/​tag (per-file structure)
grep -l "<process-identifier>" ${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}/​.dialogue/​logs/​decisions/​*.yaml | wc -l

# Count observations with a specific context/​tag (per-file structure)
grep -l "<process-identifier>" ${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}/​.dialogue/​logs/​observations/​*.yaml | wc -l

Option 2: Script-Based Verification

Execute the verification script:

${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/​skills/​dialogue-verify-logging-compliance/​scripts/​verify-logging.sh <process-identifier> <min-decisions> <min-observations>

Parameters

Example

${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/​skills/​dialogue-verify-logging-compliance/​scripts/​verify-logging.sh "Process Architect v2 simulation" 5 2

Output

The script returns:

• PASS if minimums are met, with counts
• FAIL if any minimum not met, with details

Example output:

Verifying logging compliance for: Process Architect v2 simulation
---
Decisions found: 5 (minimum: 5) ✓
Observations found: 2 (minimum: 2) ✓
---
PASS: Logging compliance verified

Escalation

If verification fails:

1. Identify which log type is deficient
2. Return to the relevant process step to add missing entries
3. Re-run verification before proceeding

Integration with Process Flows

Add a verification step before approval gates:

Step X: Verify Logging Compliance
├── Capability: Validate
├── Pattern: AI-Only
├── AI role: Run verification script; report results
├── Escalation triggers: Verification fails (missing entries)
├── Completion criteria: All minimums met
└── Validation: Script returns PASS
