base: Skill for Claude Code

.ai/agents/base-contributor/skills/processes/verify/SKILL.md

verify is a skill for Claude Code from ai-swiss/base. It costs 37 tokens per session (623 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A verification skill for running a project's required quality checks before committing or pushing changes. It checks items such as tests, type checking, documentation, and project-specific rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run the project's verification gates, understand failures, regenerate required reports, and confirm that the evidence for a change is honest.
Why use it?
It helps catch broken code, missing documentation updates, invalid requirement references, and other issues before CI or reviewers find them.

Skill for Claude Code

This is ai-swiss/base's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on base itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything base configures →

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 2mo 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.

What it actually says

Verify the gates

The discipline is gate-enforced, not trusted. A contributor runs the gates locally before CI does. The single command runs them all; run it and read the output honestly.

Steps

  1. Run the core gates: npm run check (tests, typecheck, the spec:check chain, docs validation and route-test). Green here means the core is sound; CI additionally runs coverage, the regenerated-artifact diffs (base index / base build), doctor, the pack smoke test and the MCP/Studio suites — run those when you touch those areas (commands in CONTRIBUTING.md).
  2. Read each gate's meaning if one fails (the full registry is docs/reference/gates.md; each script also prints what it checks): the requirements matrix rejects phantom citations; spec-sync wants a runtime change to touch specs/ or declare [SPEC-NEUTRAL]; the immutability check forbids renumbering or reusing an ID; changelog-sync wants a visible change to carry its [Unreleased] line.
  3. Fix the cause, not the symptom. Never bypass a hook (--no-verify, --force), never add a silent fallback to make a gate pass. A red gate is information.
  4. Confirm the proof is honest. Regenerate the matrix (npm run spec:matrix) and check that the change's requirements are ✅, not ⚠️/❌; a gap is reported, never hidden.
  5. Report green (or the exact failing gate and why), then hand back for commit.

What you never do

  • Declare done on a red gate, or claim a gate passed without running it.
  • Run heavy suites to look thorough; run what can falsify the change, plus the one command.
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.
