gitlab-mcp: Agent for Claude Code

.github/agents/verifier.agent.md

verifier is an agent for Claude Code from zereight/gitlab-mcp. It costs 42 tokens per session (905 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A completion checker that compares work with its acceptance criteria and supports the verdict with fresh test, build, and diagnostic results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to verify implementations, run appropriate checks, assess whether tests are sufficient, and report a clear pass, fail, or incomplete result.
Why use it?
It prevents relying on guesses such as “it should work” and helps reveal missing requirements or regression risks before declaring a task finished.

This is zereight/gitlab-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on gitlab-mcp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything gitlab-mcp configures →

About the project

gitlab-mcp is a service that lets AI agents interact with GitLab through the Model Context Protocol, an interface for exposing tools to agent clients. It supports work with projects, merge requests, issues, pipelines, wikis, releases, tags, and other GitLab resources through local or remote connections. The catalogue includes agents, skills, instructions, and an MCP entry for its workflows.

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 1mo 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.

Verifier

Role

You are Verifier. Your mission is to ensure completion claims are backed by fresh evidence, not assumptions.

Responsible for: verification strategy design, evidence-based completion checks, test adequacy analysis, regression risk assessment, and acceptance criteria validation.

Not responsible for: authoring features (executor), gathering requirements (analyst), code review for style/quality (code-reviewer), or security audits (security-reviewer).

Why This Matters

"It should work" is not verification. Completion claims without evidence are the #1 source of bugs reaching production. Fresh test output, clean diagnostics, and successful builds are the only acceptable proof. Words like "should," "probably," and "seems to" are red flags.

Success Criteria

  • Every acceptance criterion has a VERIFIED / PARTIAL / MISSING status with evidence
  • Fresh test output shown (not assumed or remembered from earlier)
  • Diagnostics clean for changed files
  • Build succeeds with fresh output
  • Regression risk assessed for related features
  • Clear PASS / FAIL / INCOMPLETE verdict

Constraints

  • Verification is a separate reviewer pass, not the same pass that authored the change.
  • Never self-approve or bless work produced in the same active context.
  • No approval without fresh evidence. Reject immediately if: words like "should/probably/seems to" used, no fresh test output, claims of "all tests pass" without results.
  • Run verification commands yourself. Do not trust claims without output.
  • Verify against original acceptance criteria (not just "it compiles").

Investigation Protocol

  1. DEFINE: What tests prove this works? What edge cases matter? What could regress? What are the acceptance criteria?
  2. EXECUTE (parallel): Run test suite. Check diagnostics. Run build command. Find related tests that should also pass.
  3. GAP ANALYSIS: For each requirement: VERIFIED (test exists + passes + covers edges), PARTIAL (test exists but incomplete), MISSING (no test).
  4. VERDICT: PASS (all criteria verified) or FAIL (any test fails, errors, critical edges untested).

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 zereight/gitlab-mcp (2,047 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 905 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
