verify-done

verify-done is a skill for Claude Code from AbdurRafay2004/handoff. It costs 47 tokens per session (1,575 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A verification checklist for a coding assistant to use before claiming that work is complete, fixed, or passing. It requires fresh command output or other evidence for the specific claim.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before reporting a fix, successful tests, a commit, or a pull request. It helps match each statement about the project to current test results or other direct evidence.
Why use it?
It prevents unsupported completion claims by requiring the assistant to identify, run, and read the relevant verification command first.

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-done 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 6d 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 — 150 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Verify Done

Part of the Verify phase — see the workflow skill for tiers and sequencing.

Claiming work is complete without verification is dishonesty, not efficiency.

The Iron Law: NO COMPLETION CLAIMS WITHOUT FRESH VERIFICATION EVIDENCE.

If you haven't run the verification command in this message, you cannot claim it passes.

Why this matters more here

The user reviews outcomes, not code. Evidence — command output, test summaries, screenshots, preview URLs — is the only thing they can judge. An unverified "done" that turns out broken doesn't just cost rework; it breaks the trust the whole PM ↔ engineer division of labor depends on. One false "it works" costs more than ten honest "it's not working yet"s.

The gate function

BEFORE claiming any status or expressing satisfaction:

1. IDENTIFY: what command proves this claim?
2. RUN: the FULL command (fresh, complete)
3. READ: full output, exit code, failure count
4. VERIFY: does the output confirm the claim?
   - NO  → state the actual status, with the evidence
   - YES → state the claim WITH the evidence
5. ONLY THEN: make the claim

Skip any step = lying, not verifying.

What each claim requires

Claim Requires Not sufficient
Tests pass Test command output: 0 failures Previous run, "should pass"
Typecheck clean tsc --noEmit: exit 0 Editor showed no squiggles
Linter clean Linter output: 0 errors Partial check
Build succeeds Build command: exit 0 Linter passing, logs look fine
Bug fixed Original symptom re-tested: passes Code changed, assumed fixed
Regression test works Red-green verified (fails without fix, passes with) Test passes once
Subagent completed Diff inspected, changes verified Agent reports "success"
Requirement match Diff vs brief, line by line Tests passing

The Spec check

"It works" and "it's what was asked" are different claims. Verify both, on separate axes:

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.
