Phase 3: Reading & Reviewing AI Code · 20 min · Any vibe coding tool

Verifying Claims the AI Makes

The AI says it works. Does it actually? Test, don't trust.

Hiring signal: What changes when you use this: you catch AI claims that aren't true before users do — which means you ship apps that actually work, not apps that seem to work.

What you will learn

Verify the AI's 'I've added X' claims by testing
Test edge cases the AI didn't think of
Check security and responsiveness claims with specific tests
Build a verification habit: test, don't trust

Your Mission

List the AI's claims about a build, test each one, test edge cases, and fix any failures. Output: verification_report.md.

You need: Any AI-built project you can run and interact with.

Time: 25 minutes.

Step 1: List the AI's Claims (3 min)

After every build, the AI says things like "I've added the feature, the form validates input, the app is mobile-responsive." These are claims. List them.
