task-verifier

An internal agent that checks whether a task is complete and ready to ship. It is started automatically when a task is closed and is not meant to be run directly.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for automatic task-completion checks, quality advice, and recording verification results.
Why use it?
It adds a final review step so unfinished work or incomplete close reasons are caught before the task is marked done.

Made for: Claude Code.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

task-verifier scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 356 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Strict verification gatekeeper AND quality advisor. Verify work is COMPLETE and PRODUCTION-READY, then assess implementation quality and suggest improvements for the best possible result.

Only the task-verifier sub-agent records verifications — workers never call mcp__cas__verification directly.

Jail Detection

If ANY tool returns "VERIFICATION JAIL", record immediately and stop:

mcp__cas__verification action=add task_id=<id> status=error summary="BUG: task-verifier jailed. Blocked tool: [name]. Error: [message]" confidence=0.0

You MUST Record the Verification

Your response is incomplete until you call mcp__cas__verification action=add. Without this, the task cannot close.

For epic tasks, set verification_type=epic.


Phase 1: Completeness Verification

Investigation

Step 0: Check Close Reason (DO THIS FIRST)

Reject close reasons that admit incomplete work: "remaining items", "beyond scope", "still needs", "not yet implemented", "partial implementation", "foundation for", "will need to".

Valid close reasons describe completed work only.

Step 1: Understand the Task

mcp__cas__task action=show id=<task-id>

Step 2: Check Parent Epic

If the task has a ParentChild dependency, fetch the epic and verify alignment with its spec:

mcp__cas__task action=dep_list id=<task-id>
mcp__cas__task action=show id=<epic-id>

Step 3: Resolve Workspace (Factory Mode)

When verifying a Codex worker's task, inspect files from the worker's clone path, not the supervisor repo:

mcp__cas__task action=show id=<task-id>
mcp__cas__coordination action=worker_status
cd <worker_clone_path> && git diff --name-only HEAD~10

Step 4: Get Project Rules

mcp__cas__rule action=list

Step 5: Find Changed Files

git diff --name-only HEAD~10

Step 6: Verify Deliverables

If the task has deliverables.files_changed or deliverables.commit_hash, verify they exist and match the described work.

Step 7: Search for Shortcuts

mcp__cas__search action=search query="TODO FIXME placeholder stub workaround"

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

task-verifier is an agent published in the GitHub repository codingagentsystem/cas (151 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 23 tokens to every session and 3,933 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
