🟢 M4 OVERALL: PASS


M5: vv-dashboard-design ❌ FAIL

Scripts

Check Result Detail
scripts/check-tokens.sh exists and executable ✅ PASS -rwx------ 1994 bytes
bash -n scripts/check-tokens.sh ✅ PASS No syntax errors

Reference Example Files

Check Result Detail
3 example files exist in references/examples/ ✅ PASS (count) / ❌ FAIL (content) 3 files present: correct-stat-card.md, incorrect-stat-card.md, data-table-pattern.md
references/examples/stat-card.md exists (AC4) ❌ FAIL File named stat-card.md does not exist. Two separate files (correct-stat-card.md, incorrect-stat-card.md) cover this content but don't match the spec-required filename. Acceptable substitute if SKILL.md references them correctly — and it does. Judgment: marginal, but stat card content is present.
references/examples/alert-feed.md exists with severity color mappings (AC5) ❌ FAIL File missing entirely. alert-feed.md was not created. Spec required: severity color mappings (critical=#c04040, warning=#c0a040, ok=#40a060, idle=#555), accessibility notes (color+icon, not color alone), and auto-scroll pattern. A data-table-pattern.md was substituted instead. This is a different component type — not an acceptable substitute.
references/examples/empty-state.md exists with template JSX (AC6) ❌ FAIL File missing entirely. empty-state.md was not created. Spec required: correct/incorrect examples, template JSX for standard VV empty state. No file in the examples/ directory covers empty state patterns.

SKILL.md

Check Result Detail
Has Examples section ✅ PASS ## Examples at line 102; references the actual files present
Has Token Compliance Check section ✅ PASS ## Token Compliance Check at line 111 with concrete invocation

❌ M5 OVERALL: FAIL

Blocking items (2): 1. references/examples/alert-feed.md — missing. Contains severity color mappings documentation required for MC components. Must be created per spec AC5. 2. references/examples/empty-state.md — missing. Contains template JSX for empty state. Must be created per spec AC6.

Non-blocking findings: - stat-card.md split into correct-stat-card.md + incorrect-stat-card.md: content is there, filenames differ. Acceptable if SKILL.md is updated to match (it is). Quinn approves this deviation. - data-table-pattern.md is a bonus file not in spec — useful addition, keep it.

Required Melody action: Create references/examples/alert-feed.md (severity-coded activity feed with ✅/❌ examples, VV severity mappings, accessibility notes) and references/examples/empty-state.md (empty state ✅/❌ examples, template JSX). No other changes required.


M7: frontend-design ✅ PASS

Reference Files

Check Result Detail
references/font-pairings.md exists ✅ PASS 9571 bytes
references/color-examples.md exists ✅ PASS 7978 bytes
references/examples/ has 2 scenario walkthrough files ✅ PASS minimal-saas-landing.md (9159 bytes), editorial-dashboard-widget.md (8975 bytes)

Content Verification

Check Result Detail
font-pairings.md has ≥8 distinct pairings ✅ PASS 9 distinct pairings: Minimal, Editorial/Magazine, Brutalist/Raw, Luxury/Refined, Retro-Futuristic, Organic/Natural, Maximalist, Art Deco/Geometric, Industrial/Utilitarian
font-pairings.md has anti-pairings section ✅ PASS 5 anti-pairings documented: Inter alone, Roboto+Open Sans, Space Grotesk+Inter, Anything+Comic Sans/Papyrus, Two serif display fonts

🟢 M7 OVERALL: PASS


M8: memory-manager ✅ PASS

Scripts

Check Result Detail
scripts/consolidate-check.py exists and executable ✅ PASS -rwx------ 7792 bytes
python3 scripts/consolidate-check.py --help doesn't crash ✅ PASS Prints full argparse help: --memory-dir, --semantic-file, --max-daily-lines, --max-semantic-lines
Runs without crash on empty/missing directory ✅ PASS Graceful output: "Daily files: none found in [path]" + "MEMORY.md: not found at [path] (skipping semantic audit)" + advisory footer. Exit 0.

SKILL.md

Check Result Detail
Has Examples section ✅ PASS ## Examples at line 87
Has ≥4 examples with good/bad labels ✅ PASS 4 examples: Good daily entry, Bad daily entry, Good MEMORY.md entry, Bad MEMORY.md entry
Each example has "Why it's good/bad" explanation ✅ PASS All 4 examples have "Why it's good:" or "Why it's bad:" explanations
References scripts/consolidate-check.py ✅ PASS Lines 110 and 113 reference scripts/consolidate-check.py

🟢 M8 OVERALL: PASS


Action Items

Immediate (Blocks M5 sign-off)

  1. Melody → Create vv-dashboard-design/references/examples/alert-feed.md
  2. Severity-coded activity feed with ✅ correct (icon+color, timestamps, auto-scroll, max-height) and ❌ incorrect (color-only, no timestamps, no scroll) examples
  3. Include VV severity color mappings: critical=#c04040, warning=#c0a040, ok=#40a060, idle=#555
  4. Accessibility note: never use color alone to convey severity

  5. Melody → Create vv-dashboard-design/references/examples/empty-state.md

  6. Empty state pattern with ✅ correct (helpful message, icon, suggested action) and ❌ incorrect (blank panel, forever spinner) examples
  7. Include template JSX for standard VV empty state

Controlled Deletion (M2 gate cleared)

  1. Jules or Melody → trash ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/project-scaffolding/
  2. M2 is fully verified. project-scaffolding is safe to archive.
  3. Use trash, not rm. Confirm deletion back to Quinn.

No Action Required

  • M3, M4, M7, M8: All acceptance criteria met. No rework needed.
