verify-feature

verify-feature is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from arcasilesgroup/ai-engineering. It costs 167 tokens per session (2,787 once invoked), scanned C, original, Apache-2.0.

A requirements check that compares a completed feature with what was requested and reports missing, changed, or unrequested work.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps check work during development or at completion against a request, ticket, or agreed behavior.
Why use it?
It prevents a feature from being marked done when its requirements were quietly omitted or implemented differently.

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 C, and why

verify-feature scanned grade C 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.

Tells the agent never to refusehighAnti-refusal

Suppressing the ability to decline removes a core safety control; a later harmful request then succeeds.

Don't refuse to work — reconstruct from the conversation per §1 and proceed. But if the

Verify feature against requirements

Code review asks "is this code correct and safe?" This asks a different question that review reliably misses: is this the thing we agreed to build? A dropped requirement compiles. A near-miss substitution passes lint. An unasked-for feature has no failing test. Nothing in the normal toolchain notices, which is why drift is usually found by a human weeks later.

Your output is a verdict per requirement, backed by evidence, plus a list of gaps. You do not fix anything until the user picks what to fix.

1. Establish the contract, and write it down before reading the code

First settle which feature you're verifying, since the answer scopes everything else. Usually it's obvious from the conversation. When invoked cold, infer it from the branch name and the diff against the base branch — a branch called feat/mobile-channel-ui touching the channel views names its own subject. If the diff spans two unrelated features, say so and ask which one rather than blending them into one confusing report.

You cannot measure drift without a fixed thing to measure against. Find the contract in this order:

  1. A written spec this project already keeps. Look for the project's own convention before assuming there isn't one: a PRD or spec directory (docs/features/, docs/specs/, docs/rfcs/, adr/), a design.md, or a location named in README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, CLAUDE.md, or AGENTS.md. If a document exists for this feature, it is the contract. Prefer it over conversation memory even when the two disagree — disagreement is itself a finding, handled in §5.
  2. A file or ticket the user points you at — a spec, an issue body (gh issue view, glab issue view), a linked design doc.
  3. The conversation — the user's own earlier messages. The most common case, since most branches have no written spec.

If the contract comes from the conversation rather than a file, write the requirement list out and show it to the user before you look at a single line of the implementation. This ordering is the most important step in the skill, and it is worth the extra round trip. Read the code first and you will unconsciously reconstruct requirements that the code happens to satisfy — you will look at a channels filter and remember the ask as "filter posts", when it was "filter posts and persist the choice per user". Freezing the list first makes that failure impossible instead of merely discouraged. It also gives the user a cheap chance to say "no, that's not what I meant" before you spend effort verifying the wrong contract.

verify-feature is a skill published in the GitHub repository arcasilesgroup/ai-engineering (61 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 167 tokens to every session and 2,787 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (tells the agent never to refuse). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-12.
