Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00312 | $0.00312 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00125 | $0.00125 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00062 | $0.00062 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00031 | $0.00031 |
Grade A, and why
verification-evidence 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 today.
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.
What it actually says
Verification evidence
"All tests pass" on its own tells the reader almost nothing, and for a run nobody watched it is the only record there is. Report evidence.
What to report
- The exact command you ran and the relevant tail of its output, for each check that applies to the change.
- Which checks you skipped, and why.
- A failure shown as it printed, not summarised.
Where the commands come from
Never guess a repo's commands. Use, in this order:
- The repo's verification contract:
.ai/verify.jsonin the repo if it is trusted, otherwise the contract the setup stores for this repo.ai-verify --whereprints which one applies and where it is. - The repo's own scripts (
package.json,Makefile, project docs). - If neither names a check, ask once and offer to record the answer with the
verify-contractskill.
Scope every check to the files you changed. Do not run repo-wide checks.
Hooks do the enforcing
Where a Stop hook runs the contract, a failing check blocks the end of your turn and its output comes back to you. Fix the cause. Never delete, skip, or weaken a check to get past it. If the same failure comes back three times, stop and report the blocker.
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.

verification-evidence is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository tonyghiani/ai-essentials (7 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 312 tokens to every session, about $0.0012 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 2026-10-31.
