verify

A quality-check workflow that runs selected type checks, code-style checks, unit tests, and end-to-end tests, then records and explains failures. End-to-end tests check a system through a user-like workflow.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for fast, standard, full, or end-to-end-only verification before deciding whether code or configuration needs changes.
Why use it?
It gathers results consistently and traces failures back to their source without changing the code automatically.

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 yesterday.

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 — 379 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Verify

A unified quality verification skill. Runs typecheck, lint, unit tests, and E2E tests with configurable scope. Filters known runtime noise, persists logs, and performs source-level failure analysis on any failures.


Agent Responsibility Boundaries

The agent's role when running /verify is strictly limited to:

  1. Execute quality checks according to the requested level
  2. Collect and persist logs
  3. Filter known runtime noise from results
  4. Analyze failures at the source level and report findings

The agent MUST NOT:

  • Auto-fix any errors or warnings discovered during verification
  • Modify source code, configuration, or test files
  • Re-run failed checks after making changes
  • Suggest or apply patches without explicit user request

If failures are found, the agent reports a structured analysis. The user decides next steps.


Parameter Format and Routing

/verify [level] [scope]
Invocation Level What Runs
/verify fast fast typecheck + lint + unit tests (no E2E)
/verify standard fast + default E2E layer
/verify full full fast + all E2E layers
/verify e2e [scope] e2e-only E2E tests only (skips typecheck/lint/unit)

E2E Sub-routing

When E2E tests are included, the [scope] parameter controls which E2E layer(s) run:

Scope Meaning
(omitted) Default E2E layer only
all All E2E layers
<layer-name> Specific named layer
<glob-pattern> Pattern-matched layers (e.g. stable/*)

Route Decision Flow

User invokes /verify [args]
│
├─ args = "fast"
│   └─ Phase A only (typecheck + lint + unit tests)
│
├─ args = "" (empty / standard)
│   └─ Phase A → Phase B (default E2E layer)
│
├─ args = "full"
│   └─ Phase A → Phase B (all E2E layers)
│
├─ args = "e2e [scope]"
│   └─ Phase B only (E2E with given scope)
│
└─ args = unrecognized
    └─ Report error: unknown parameter

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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository context4ai/workflow (4 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 2,865 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-31.
