generating-app-verify

generating-app-verify is a skill for Claude Code from afaraha8403/balakit. It costs 85 tokens per session (831 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill that creates project-local instructions for checking a real application through its user-facing surface, such as a website, command-line tool, API, desktop app, or mobile app. It also creates a map of features and runs one feature check to confirm the instructions work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to generate a verification skill with launch, health-check, driving, evidence, and cleanup steps, plus documentation of the app's user-facing features.
Why use it?
It gives a project a repeatable way to start the app, exercise behavior as a user would, collect evidence, and clean up afterward. This is useful when the project has no scripted way to prove that features work.

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

generating-app-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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 71 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Generate an app verify skill

Leading words: interview the repo, drive like a user, feature map, prove one feature, skills/verify-app.

Every serious project needs a way to launch the app, exercise a feature as a user would, and keep evidence. This skill writes that as skills/verify-<app>/ (Agent Skills path — not .cursor/ only).

Copy these steps into the todo list verbatim. Skip with skip: <reason>.

  1. Interview the repo (surface, run, drive, observe, isolate). Ask the user only what you cannot observe.
  2. Write skills/verify-<app>/SKILL.md with Launch, Doctor, Drive, Evidence, Cleanup, Helpers. Helpers live under helpers/ (not scripts/). A Launch helper is required even when the app is a one-shot CLI (ready signal = usage line + exit).
  3. Seed a feature map (features/README.md + 3–5 user-POV feature files).
  4. Run launch → doctor → drive one mapped feature → evidence still exists after cleanup.
  5. Point at /refreshing-app-verify.

If the checkout does not start, fix that first (or report it). A skill written against a broken base teaches the wrong steps.

Interview

  • Surface: web UI, CLI/TUI, desktop, API, mobile? Pick the primary.
  • Run: the repo's own documented dev command. Ports, env, seed, auth.
  • Drive: existing harness first (Playwright, expect, curl). Then browser/CDP, PTY, or HTTP.
  • Observe: screenshots, transcripts, bodies, logs, exit codes, DB.
  • Isolate: can two instances run? If not, say so — refuse to double-drive a shared session.

Generated skill

Frontmatter: name: verify-<app> and a description that names the app and surface. Sections with no placeholders:

  • Launch — exact command, ready signal, teardown.
  • Doctor — read-only "is this instance worth driving?"
  • Drive — real selectors/commands from this repo. ARIA, data attributes, prompt strings, routes — not coordinates.
  • Evidence — what to capture and where. Real user path, not internal setters. Side effects counted. Mocks only at a production boundary.
  • Cleanup — kill what you started. Evidence survives.
  • Helpers — executable; invocation shown in the body.
