Green Belt badge template

Status: drafted · Time: 12 min · Audience: experienced-builder Outcome: Provide the builder-facing template for claiming Green Belt with cross-belt synthesis evidence and reviewer attestation.

Use this after Boss Fight G-B’s product PR is merged or under named review. The badge is not a reading chapter. It is the builder-facing evidence packet for certification.

Copy the template into the program tracker or the approved evidence location.

Part C guardrail that caught the most:
The moment the cross-over paid off:
One thing I would do differently next time:

This is the field that makes Green distinct. White asked for proof; Yellow asked for prompt / context / harness reflection; Green asks for cross-belt synthesis: naming which Part A craft compounded with which Part B practice, what the Part C guardrails caught, and where the cross-over paid off in a way no single Part could have produced.


Reviewer handle:
Reviewer role:
Review date:
I confirm that the evidence above satisfies Green Belt:
- Yellow Belt evidence exists;
- Quest G-1 produced a team-adopted skill with at least one teammate invocation;
- Quest G-2 produced a merged greenfield PR with cross-Parts technique evidence;
- Boss Fight G-B's product-repo PR satisfies all five sub-requirements
(scoped CLAUDE.md, Playwright test, clean pre-ship-check, PR-guardrail
used, prompt-craft teammate sign-off);
- the cross-belt retro shows synthesis, not just compliance;
- at least one piece of evidence was reviewed by a builder outside the
candidate's immediate team (Appendix L sample-size rule);
- no evidence includes sensitive material.

Refresh note:

Set recertification due to one year from the awarded date. See Appendix L - Certification for the program rule.


Recommended Black Belt start:
Why:

Black Belt is drafted end-to-end. Most Green Belt graduates should start with B.1 — Authoring an internal MCP server (the platform-builder voice anchor) and walk Part A through to Quest B-1 (publish an internal plugin), then continue through Parts B and C to Boss Fight B-B and the Black Belt badge.


  • Yellow Belt tracker row exists and is awarded.
  • Quest G-1 evidence is complete (skill exists, teammate invoked).
  • Quest G-2 evidence is complete (merged greenfield PR, cross-Parts technique list, reflection).
  • Boss Fight G-B product-repo PR is merged or under named review.
  • All five Boss Fight sub-requirements have evidence:
    • (a) Scoped CLAUDE.md.
    • (b) Playwright test asserts a behaviour, not just a snapshot.
    • (c) pre-ship-check pass with all six layers GREEN.
    • (d) PR-guardrail invoked and named.
    • (e) Prompt-craft sign-off comment from an out-of-team reviewer.
  • Cross-belt retro exists and shows synthesis.
  • At least one out-of-team reviewer per Appendix L sample-size rule.
  • Reviewer attestation exists.
  • Recertification due date is set.
  • No sensitive details are present in the badge packet.

When all twelve are checked, the Green Belt claim is ready for the tracker.
