🧪 Use dokugent preview Before Certify¶

This is the critical stitch point where all configuration, criteria, and plan data get compiled into a unified, reviewable snapshot.

What Happens in preview¶

• Loads all config, criteria, and planning metadata
• Compiles them into a compiled.json object for review
• Validates plan structure, references, token usage, and file integrity
• Prepares .cert.json staging metadata without signing it
• Lets you preview what will be signed in the next step

Test Variations Before Committing¶

Use preview to:

• Try different agent profiles
• Swap plan versions or update steps
• Validate compliance and compatibility with your current conventions
• Ensure you're using the right key and metadata

When to Run preview¶

• Always run it before certify
• It ensures your bundle is complete, accurate, and trustworthy

Summary¶

Think of dokugent preview as your pre-flight check. It assembles everything, gives you one final look, and confirms that your agent is truly ready for certification.
