verify

A quality-check process for notes or other written records. It checks whether the description is clear, the required structure is present, links work, and related content is covered.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after creating notes, during periodic maintenance, or when you need to check note health.
Why use it?
It catches unclear notes, missing fields, broken references, outdated content, and records that may be disconnected from the rest of the knowledge base.

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 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 — 534 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Runtime Configuration (Step 0 — before any processing)

Read these files to configure domain-specific behavior:

  1. ops/derivation-manifest.md — vocabulary mapping, platform hints

    • Use vocabulary.notes for the notes folder name
    • Use vocabulary.note / vocabulary.note_plural for note type references
    • Use vocabulary.verify for the process verb in output
    • Use vocabulary.topic_map for MOC references
    • Use vocabulary.templates for the templates folder path
    • Use vocabulary.cmd_reflect for redirect when missing connections found
  2. ops/config.yaml — processing depth, verification settings

    • processing.depth: deep | standard | quick
    • processing.verification.description_test: true | false
    • processing.verification.schema_check: true | false
    • processing.verification.link_check: true | false

If these files don't exist, use universal defaults.

Processing depth adaptation:

Depth Verification Behavior
deep Full verification: cold-read prediction, complete schema check, exhaustive link verification, MOC coverage, orphan risk analysis, content staleness detection, bundling analysis
standard Balanced: cold-read prediction, schema check, link verification, MOC coverage
quick Basic: schema check, link verification only. Skip cold-read prediction and health analysis

EXECUTE NOW

Target: $ARGUMENTS

Parse immediately:

  • If target contains a note name: verify that specific note
  • If target contains --handoff: output RALPH HANDOFF block at end
  • If target is "all" or "recent": verify recently created/modified notes
  • If target is empty: ask which note to verify

Anti-Shortcut Warning

Before marking verification as passed, you MUST complete ALL four categories:

  1. COMPLETE description quality test — cold-read the title + description, predict what the note contains, compare against actual content. A description that merely restates the title FAILS.

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository agenticnotetaking/arscontexta (3,486 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 61 tokens to every session and 5,205 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-30.
