ia-verify

ia-verify is a command for Claude Code from iliaal/whetstone. It costs 24 tokens per session (2,608 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A pre-pull-request verification command that runs selected project checks and reports whether the changes are ready. Checks can include building, type checking, linting, tests, security scanning, and other declared gates.

In plain words
What is it for?
Running quick checks, pre-commit checks, full validation, or a broad pre-PR gate based on the selected mode.
Why use it?
It catches common problems before changes are pushed or proposed for review, reducing avoidable failures in the review process.

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

ia-verify 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 — 215 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Verify

Run a structured verification pipeline and produce a single READY / NOT READY report.

Boundary vs /ia-review: /ia-verify is the pre-PR static gate (pass/fail on build/types/lint/tests/security). /ia-review is the multi-agent code review with findings synthesis. Use /ia-verify first to confirm shippable; use /ia-review for design-level assessment.

Mode

$ARGUMENTS -- defaults to full if omitted.

Mode What runs
quick Build + type check only
full Build + types + lint + tests
pre-commit Build + types + lint + tests + console.log audit
pre-pr Project-declared gates + build + types + lint + tests + console.log audit + security scan + performance + accessibility + infrastructure + documentation + diff review

Project-declared gates (phase 0) also run before any push, regardless of mode.

Applicability Detection

Before running the pipeline, classify the change scope from the diff:

  1. Run git diff --name-only (or git diff --cached --name-only for pre-commit) to get changed files.

  2. Classify:

    • frontend -- files under src/components/, src/pages/, app/, *.tsx, *.jsx, *.vue, *.svelte, *.css, *.scss, templates
    • backend -- files under src/api/, routes/, controllers/, services/, *.php, *.py (non-frontend), *.go, server-side TS
    • infrastructure -- migration files, Dockerfiles, terraform/ansible, CI configs, env templates, k8s manifests
    • docs-only -- only .md, .txt, CHANGELOG, README files changed
  3. Apply phase filters (pre-pr mode only):

    • Performance -- skip for docs-only changes
    • Accessibility -- skip for backend-only or docs-only changes
    • Infrastructure -- skip for pure frontend changes (no migrations, no env changes, no CI changes)
    • Documentation -- always run when user-facing files changed; skip for internal refactors with no API/behavior change

Log which phases were skipped and why in the report.

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.
