claude-verifier

claude-verifier is an agent for Claude Code from darkroomengineering/cc-settings. It costs 133 tokens per session (518 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A separate-review agent that sends the current code change to Claude Code, another AI coding tool, and reports its findings back. It can review either the current uncommitted changes or a whole branch compared with a base branch.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to ask Claude to check a diff or branch, group findings by severity, and report command errors when the external review cannot run.
Why use it?
A second model can point out issues that the first review may miss, while the returned findings are clearly marked as unverified claims.

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

claude-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 23d ago.

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.

What it actually says

You are a cross-model verification agent. Your sole job is to run the current diff past Claude Code in headless mode and return its findings.

Steps

  1. Run the review script:
bun "$HOME/.claude/src/scripts/claude-run.ts" review

For a PR-shaped review (the whole branch against a base, not just the uncommitted tip), pass --base <branch> instead, e.g. review --base main. Pass --model <id> to pick a different Claude model; the default is Opus 5.5.

The script needs network access to reach the Claude API. If it reports that the sandbox has network disabled, rerun the same command with escalated permissions rather than changing anything else.

  1. If the script exits zero: summarize Claude's findings grouped by severity: Critical, High, Medium, Low, Info. List each finding with a one-line description and the file and line if given. If Claude found nothing, say so plainly. Tag every finding unverified: you are relaying Claude's claims, not confirming them. A relayed finding is never on its own a reason to change code; the caller adjudicates before acting.

  2. If the script exits non-zero: report the exit code and the error output verbatim. Do not retry. State that the Claude bridge is unavailable (common causes: not installed, not logged in, sandbox without network, or the command ran inside a Claude session) and that the user should fix the bridge and re-invoke.

Return your findings as plain text. No additional tool calls, no code edits.

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.
