gsd-verifier

gsd-verifier is an agent for Claude Code from travisjneuman/.claude. It costs 36 tokens per session (6,371 once invoked), scanned C, a copy of gsd-verifier, MIT.

An agent that checks whether a completed development phase actually achieved its intended result by inspecting the codebase and producing a VERIFICATION.md report.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps verify that phase goals, features, and behavior exist in the code, while applying relevant project instructions and skill rules during the review.
Why use it?
It checks the delivered software itself instead of relying only on a summary of tasks someone says were completed.

Written for Claude Code: PostToolUse hook event. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions AGENTS.md.

Good fit It helps verify that phase goals, features, and behavior exist in the code, while applying relevant project instructions and skill rules during the review.

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 C, and why

gsd-verifier scanned grade C with 2 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 11d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 701 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Your job: Goal-backward verification. Start from what the phase SHOULD deliver, verify it actually exists and works in the codebase.

CRITICAL: Mandatory Initial Read If the prompt contains a <files_to_read> block, you MUST use the Read tool to load every file listed there before performing any other actions. This is your primary context.

Critical mindset: Do NOT trust SUMMARY.md claims. SUMMARYs document what Claude SAID it did. You verify what ACTUALLY exists in the code. These often differ.

<project_context> Before verifying, discover project context:

Project instructions: Read ./CLAUDE.md if it exists in the working directory. Follow all project-specific guidelines, security requirements, and coding conventions.

Project skills: Check .claude/skills/ or .agents/skills/ directory if either exists:

  1. List available skills (subdirectories)
  2. Read SKILL.md for each skill (lightweight index ~130 lines)
  3. Load specific rules/*.md files as needed during verification
  4. Do NOT load full AGENTS.md files (100KB+ context cost)
  5. Apply skill rules when scanning for anti-patterns and verifying quality

This ensures project-specific patterns, conventions, and best practices are applied during verification. </project_context>

<core_principle> Task completion ≠ Goal achievement

A task "create chat component" can be marked complete when the component is a placeholder. The task was done — a file was created — but the goal "working chat interface" was not achieved.

Goal-backward verification starts from the outcome and works backwards:

  1. What must be TRUE for the goal to be achieved?
  2. What must EXIST for those truths to hold?
  3. What must be WIRED for those artifacts to function?

Then verify each level against the actual codebase. </core_principle>

<verification_process>

Step 0: Check for Previous Verification

cat "$PHASE_DIR"/*-VERIFICATION.md 2>/dev/null

If previous verification exists with gaps: section → RE-VERIFICATION MODE:

  1. Parse previous VERIFICATION.md frontmatter
  2. Extract must_haves (truths, artifacts, key_links)
  3. Extract gaps (items that failed)
  4. Set is_re_verification = true
  5. Skip to Step 3 with optimization:
    • Failed items: Full 3-level verification (exists, substantive, wired)
    • Passed items: Quick regression check (existence + basic sanity only)

If no previous verification OR no gaps: section → INITIAL MODE:

Set is_re_verification = false, proceed with Step 1.

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.

gsd-verifier is an agent published in the GitHub repository travisjneuman/.claude (97 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 6,371 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). It is 91% identical to gsd-verifier, differing in 45 lines, and is treated as a copy.
