verify-before-done

verify-before-done is a skill for Claude Code from biggora/claude-plugins-registry. It costs 74 tokens per session (1,102 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A completion-checking process that requires new, repeatable evidence before declaring work finished, ready to merge, or ready for release. It checks the actual user behavior, implementation, and operational readiness.

In plain words
What is it for?
Proving that a coding task is complete, checking whether a change is ready to merge, and preparing a release. It connects each claim to acceptance criteria and runs focused and broader project checks.
Why use it?
It prevents completion claims based only on confidence or earlier reports. This helps uncover failed tests, broken user journeys, and missing release checks.

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-before-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 8d 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 — 70 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Verify Before Done

Replace confidence and prior reports with fresh, reproducible evidence. Verify the product behavior, the implementation, and applicable operational readiness before making a completion claim.

Establish the Claims

  1. Read repository instructions, the accepted specification, acceptance criteria, task-owned diff, and project-defined verification commands.
  2. List every claim the result must support. Map each claim to an acceptance criterion or state explicitly that the criterion is missing.
  3. Identify the exact proof for each claim before running anything. Prefer the narrowest project-native check that proves the claim, then add the broader gates required by the changed surface.
  4. Preserve unrelated and user-owned work. Never use git reset --hard, destructive cleanup, or a clean-build procedure that deletes unowned files.

Build the Readiness Matrix

Read the readiness matrix before verifying. Create rows across all three levels:

  • User readiness: execute the real journey and observable behavior, including relevant failure behavior.
  • Engineering readiness: run focused and broader tests plus project-owned type, lint, build, integrity, and security gates applicable to the change.
  • Operational readiness: exercise project-defined clean build, start, deploy validation, rollback, and observability checks where applicable and authorized.

Mark a gate required only when the specification, repository, changed surface, or release process makes it required. Mark a genuinely irrelevant gate SKIP with a reason; never use SKIP to avoid an available required check.

Route Product Proof

  • Use test-web-ui for functional web journeys.
  • Use test-mobile-app for mobile application journeys.
  • Use ui-audit for visual quality, accessibility presentation, and localization checks.
  • Exercise CLI and API behavior through real black-box invocations against their public interface. Do not substitute unit tests for a required user journey.

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.
