documentation-verify

documentation-verify is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from canonical/copilot-collections. It costs 44 tokens per session (712 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A documentation-checking procedure that compares written claims, commands, API details, and configuration settings with the code in the same repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review changed documentation, inspect the code and tests, and flag claims that cannot be verified.
Why use it?
It helps find documentation that is unsupported, outdated, or inconsistent with the actual implementation.

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

documentation-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 4d 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.

Documentation Accuracy Verification

Scope

Accuracy verification only: cross-reference documentation claims, commands, API names, and configuration keys against source code in the same repository. Flag anything that cannot be verified.

Inputs

  • Changed documentation files (from git diff). If git diff is unavailable or empty, use files explicitly provided for review; otherwise, treat all documentation files under docs/ as changed.
  • Full codebase.
  • Test files, configuration schemas.
  • Documentation structure.

Workflow

Follow this three-stage process to verify documentation accuracy:

Stage 1: Discovery Scan

Objective: Identify documentation claims and form initial hypotheses.

  1. Run git diff to list changed documentation files.
  2. Categorize changes into claim types (behaviour, CLI, API, config, examples, error messages, etc.).
  3. Form initial hypotheses: Supported, Unsupported, Speculative, Ambiguous, or Outdated.

For detailed categorization and hypothesis formation procedures, see references/verification_procedures.md → Discovery Scan.


Stage 2: Verification Pass

Objective: Verify every hypothesis with code evidence. Code is the source of truth.

CRITICAL: Complete verification before reporting any claims.

  1. Use at least two search strategies per claim (direct search, entrypoint tracing, test evidence, schema/validation search).
  2. Apply claim-type-specific verification checklists (behaviour, CLI, API, config, examples, errors, terminology).
  3. Document evidence for each finding (file paths, line numbers, search commands).
  4. Reclassify hypotheses based on verification results.
  5. Apply false-positive prevention rules.
  6. Cross-check documentation coverage.

For comprehensive verification checklists and classification rules, see references/verification_procedures.md → Verification Pass.


Stage 3: Report Generation

Objective: Present verified findings with evidence and conservative recommendations.

What ships with it

2 files 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.
