regression-verification

regression-verification is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dayfinggg/openai-codex-agent-skills. It costs 33 tokens per session (402 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for choosing and running checks that show whether a code change or bug fix works and has not brought back an old problem.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to recover the expected behavior, select unit or integration checks, reproduce defects, validate changed failure or concurrency paths, and separate new failures from existing ones.
Why use it?
It avoids relying on redundant tests, empty test runs, or lint results when the changed behavior needs a more direct check.

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

regression-verification 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 today.

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.

What it actually says

Verify the requested behavior without creating redundant tests or claiming unperformed checks.

  1. Recover the requirement, changed contract, affected consumers, and original defect evidence. Read the diff and existing checks. Preserve unrelated user changes.
  2. Identify the smallest checks capable of failing when the requested behavior is wrong. Choose unit, integration, runtime, configuration, or inspection according to the actual risk. A test that mirrors implementation is not independent evidence.
  3. For a defect, verify that the reproduction exercises the reported failure. If an old revision can be tested safely, observe it fail for the right reason. Do not alter the user's worktree to obtain a baseline.
  4. Run existing relevant checks with the project's configured tools and versions. Confirm target selection, executed counts, meaningful assertions, and nonzero failures. An empty test run or linter-only pass does not prove runtime behavior.
  5. Exercise changed failure, cancellation, concurrency, or data-compatibility paths only when the change affects them. Do not add a broad hypothetical test matrix.
  6. Fix regressions introduced by the change. Distinguish unrelated pre-existing failures and do not modify them solely to obtain a green summary.
  7. After passing checks, broaden or repeat only for new edits, failures, or a specific unresolved concern. Inspect the final diff for scope, generated files, secrets, and temporary materials.
  8. Remove verified task-owned temporary fixtures and helpers when no process needs them. Retain requested deliverables and permanent tests that add meaningful coverage.

Finish once the requirements and relevant checks are satisfied. Report what changed, the performed validation, and only material limitations. Keep explanatory reports in chat unless a standalone document is requested.

For skill development, structural validity and host discovery are different from measured improvement on real engineering tasks. Preserve that distinction in completion claims.

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.

regression-verification is a skill published in the GitHub repository dayfinggg/openai-codex-agent-skills (8 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 33 tokens to every session and 402 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-10-30.
