Capstone: AI-Assisted Change Defense
Prove you can build, verify, explain, and own an AI-assisted change end to end.
The capstone is the proof-backed heart of the certification. Steps 1–3, 5–7 run inside Skills Tech Certified today; verification (OpenThunder), defense (Skills Tech Talk), and signing (Skills Tech Workspace) light up as those integrations go live. Each produces a safe-derived proof — never your source code, secrets, or recordings.
Read the scenario and state, in your own words, what needs to change and why.
Go →Drive an agent with a plan, constraints, and success criteria — not a vague prompt.
Go →Read the diff. Identify key files, blast radius, and anything you don't fully understand.
Go →Tests, type checks, static/security analysis. A safe-derived verification proof comes from OpenThunder.
Name the residual risks: security, data, supply chain, rollout.
Go →Write what the AI did, what you accepted or rejected, and what you verified.
Go →The revert steps, the metrics to watch, and who owns the watch window.
Go →Explain and defend the change out loud. A safe-derived defense proof comes from Skills Tech Talk.
STCE assembles your inputs into a certificate; Skills Tech Workspace signs it and hosts public verification.
