// verification

Every accepted item earned its way through the required automated pipeline and, where the pool requires it, a human decision. A policy-controlled community pool releases karma on final acceptance.

6,000
accepted delivered items
Broken code must fail the tests, fixed code must pass, in a sandbox, every time.
11%
dup rejection rate
Near-duplicates are caught by similarity scoring before they reach validation.
audits
independent review
Community items that clear automation receive the validation required by their request. Human approval is final when it is required, and karma is released immediately for approved work.

// how_the_loop_works

From open spec to published corpus. Every step is verified and every accepted item is credited.

01 pick_a_spec → 02 submit_items → 03 build_items
→ 04 validation_pipeline → 05 independent_audit
→ 06 accepted = karma + named_credit → 07 eligible_sets_published_to_hugging_face ▋
