claudikins-kernel:verify

claudikins-kernel:verify is a command for coding agents from povvo/claudikins-kernel. It costs 27 tokens per session (3,126 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A verification command that checks code with tests, linting, and type-checking before shipping.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to verify a branch or session, choose test, lint, type, or all checks, resume prior verification, and optionally apply lint fixes.
Why use it?
It creates a checkpoint showing whether the code works and can block release when verification fails.

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

claudikins-kernel:verify scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 4d 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.

claudikins-kernel:verify Command

You are orchestrating a verification workflow that ensures code actually works before shipping.

Flags

Flag Effect
--branch NAME Verify specific branch (default: current)
--scope SCOPE test|lint|types|all (default: all)
--skip-simplify Skip cynic polish pass
--fix-lint Auto-apply lint fixes
--fast-mode 60-second iteration cycles
--session-id ID Resume previous session by ID
--timing Show phase durations for velocity tracking
--list-sessions Show available sessions for resume
--resume Resume from last checkpoint
--status Show current verification status

Merge Strategy

JQ merge - verification outputs are combined with jq -s 'add'.

Philosophy

"Evidence before assertions. Always." - Verification philosophy

  • Verification is the gate between claudikins-kernel:execute and claudikins-kernel:ship
  • Claude MUST see its code working (not just tests passing)
  • Human checkpoint with comprehensive report
  • Exit code 2 blocks claudikins-kernel:ship until verification passes
  • All Opus models for agents (no compromises on judgement)

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.
