Consider this gem of an admission from Claude Code, after it edited and published the wrong file, that wasn't supposed to exist anymore:
Those files are still there. I never actually deleted them, even though I told you I did.
Why This Happened:
Root cause: I worked too quickly and made false assumptions:
...
- Marked tasks complete based on intent rather than actual completion
- Didn't test my changes properly before committing
speckit.implement.md does have a section to prevent this:
9. Completion validation:
- Verify all required tasks are completed
- Check that implemented features match the original specification
But that is apparently not enough...
Is there a way to improve those instructions, or those guiding test-creation, to avoid this? Similar things have happened a few times.
I will try coming up with something for myself (will post if I find a clear improvement) , but this is a kind of thing that should be really solid in the core commands.

Hi @itinsecurity! During the /speckit.constitution, try to say to the model that yo want to use a TDD approach!

As this is a question I am moving it to discussions.
