verify-agent-readiness

verify-agent-readiness is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from bikeread/promethos. It costs 26 tokens per session (612 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A verification guide for checking that an agent or code change is genuinely ready before calling it complete. It connects each success claim to a recent test, command, transcript check, or manual review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before shipping, declaring a task done, or checking an agent-domain change against its requirements.
Why use it?
It prevents completion claims based only on reading code or assuming that an applied fix works.

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-agent-readiness 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 9d 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.

Goal

Prevent false completion by tying every positive claim to fresh verification evidence.

Inputs

  • Claimed change or fix
  • Relevant requirements or acceptance criteria
  • Available verification commands, tests, or manual checks

Non-Goals

  • Assuming the implementation is correct because the code looks clean
  • Treating partial checks as proof of total correctness
  • Replacing a broader workflow library's generic merge-readiness or completion-verification path when coexistence rules already assign it there

Workflow

Trigger signals (for proactive recognition)

  • You are about to say "done" or "complete"
  • The user says "差不多了吧" or "is it ready"
  • A fix was applied but not re-tested
  • Acceptance criteria exist but have not been checked with fresh evidence
  • Someone is about to claim completion based on inspection alone
  • The user explicitly asks PromethOS to verify an agent-domain deliverable, eval pack, autonomy policy, or agent-system change before calling it ready

1. Translate each claim into a check

List the specific requirement, fix, or success statement you are about to make and map it to a test, command, transcript check, or manual verification step. Success criteria: Every major claim has a named verification path.

2. Run fresh verification

Execute the relevant checks now, not from memory, old logs, or assumed behavior. Success criteria: The evidence is fresh and tied directly to the current state of the work.

3. Check for scope gaps and regressions

Verify not only the changed behavior but also the nearby assumptions most likely to have been broken or left unverified. Success criteria: Verification covers both the target claim and the most probable adjacent breakage.

4. Report the real status, not the hopeful one

State what is verified, what remains unverified, and what the evidence actually supports. If a stronger session-level workflow system already owns generic merge-readiness in coexistence mode, say so explicitly instead of pretending PromethOS should override it by default. Success criteria: The final report is aligned with evidence rather than optimism.

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-agent-readiness is a skill published in the GitHub repository bikeread/promethos (33 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 26 tokens to every session and 612 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
