Build And Test Commands

The instruction file must include build and test commands that the agent can run. Without these, the agent can't verify its own changes work correctly.

Antipatterns

• Providing build commands in prose ("you can build by running the makefile") without a heading containing "Commands", "Build", "Testing", or "Setup". The check matches headings, not body text.
• Using a heading like "## Development" or "## Usage" that does not contain any of the matched terms. The heading must include one of the specific keywords.
• Documenting commands only in a README or separate file. The check targets the main instruction file.

Limitations

Checks for a heading containing "Commands", "Build", "Testing", or "Setup". Does not verify the section contains runnable commands.
