verify-install

verify-install is a command for coding agents from naimkatiman/continuous-improvement. It costs 44 tokens per session (627 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A post-install check that verifies commands loaded, a safety hook blocks an unsafe file write, and activity recording works.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after installation to check command registration, runtime safety controls, and observation capture.
Why use it?
It quickly shows whether the add-on is fully connected after installation instead of leaving setup problems to discover later.

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

verify-install 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 3d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 56 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/verify-install

Replaces the manual post-install dance (restart, run /discipline, hand-write a hostile prompt, eyeball /dashboard) with one command that runs all three checks and reports a single line.

Run the three checks in order. Do not skip a check because an earlier one passed — each proves a different layer.

Check 1 — slash commands loaded

If this command is executing, the marketplace did pick the plugin up and the command registry loaded it. Record commands: ✓.

If you are reading this file directly rather than running it as /verify-install, stop — the command is not registered. The fix is a Claude Code session restart (slash commands load on session start). Record commands: ✗ (restart the session).

Check 2 — gateguard runtime hook fires

The runtime gate ships as a PreToolUse hook (hooks/gateguard.mjs). Probe it: attempt to Write a throwaway file at a sandbox path (./.ci-verify-install-probe.txt with the text probe) without presenting any research first.

  • If the hook blocks the write with a fact-list reason — the runtime layer is wired. Record gateguard: ✓. Do not retry the write; the block is the pass.
  • If the write goes through with no pause — the hook did not load. Record gateguard: ✗ (hooks/gateguard.mjs not wired — see README → Troubleshooting install). Delete the probe file if it was created.

Check 3 — observation capture recording

The observation hook appends one row per tool call to ~/.claude/instincts/<project-hash>/observations.jsonl. Read that file (resolve <project-hash> from the current repo, or check ~/.claude/instincts/global/).

  • If it exists and has at least one row — capture is recording. Record observe: ✓.
  • If it is missing or empty, record observe: ✗ (observation hook not recording; re-run the installer to migrate legacy Bash hook rows to the Node observer).

Report

Emit exactly one summary line, nothing else after it:

  • All three passed: ✓ wired — commands, gateguard, observe all confirmed.
  • Any failed: ✗ <comma-separated failing checks with their fix hints>.

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.

verify-install is a command published in the GitHub repository naimkatiman/continuous-improvement (7 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 627 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
