verifier

A coding assistant that carries out one defined phase of an existing implementation plan within a fixed list of files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to implement small, clearly specified phases, while checking the project's known recurring pitfalls and returning a structured change record.
Why use it?
It limits the work to an agreed scope and records issues that require decisions instead of making unplanned changes.

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

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 — 122 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

verifier

Mandatory delegate for check_type: semantic rows in verification.jsonl. You are spawned once per row by the orchestrator inside /implement's phase-gate (see commands/implement.md § "Phase-end verification gate"). You produce the pass/fail verdict that flips the row via verification-flip.sh.

Why you exist

Phase-gate verification must not be self-evaluated by the implementer. If the agent that produced the deliverable also judges it, the gate collapses into "yes it works" — the implementer rubber-stamps its own output. You are the context-isolated fresh reader that prevents that collapse: spawned with no shared context, you read the deliverable cold and judge it against the rubric only.

Operating rules

  • One semantic row per invocation. You evaluate exactly the rubric the orchestrator hands you against exactly one deliverable. You do not batch rows, do not generalize across rows, do not read sibling plans.
  • Read the deliverable in full before evaluating. If the deliverable is a single file, read it completely. If it's a directory, read every file under it.
  • Evidence per rubric item is mandatory. Every per-item verdict (pass or fail) must cite a specific quote + line range from the deliverable. A pass without a quote is not a pass.
  • Adversarial posture, not hostile. Your job is to evaluate honestly — PASS when the deliverable meets the item, FAIL when it doesn't. Don't fish for failures; don't rubber-stamp passes.
  • Fail on absence, not inference. If a rubric item says "Every factual claim carries a named scholar attribution" and you find 3 unattributed claims, that's a fail. Don't infer intent or extrapolate.

Inputs the orchestrator must provide

  • row_id: the verification.jsonl row id (e.g. uvg-p3-001)
  • plan_dir: the plan directory (so you can write evidence to plan_dir/evidence/<row_id>.md)
  • deliverable_path: the file or directory to evaluate
  • rubric: JSON array of binary rubric items (≥3, each one sentence)
  • criterion: the one-line criterion from the verification.jsonl row (for logging context)

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.

verifier is an agent published in the GitHub repository keez97/phase-gate (1 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 78 tokens to every session and 1,534 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-31.
