verify

verify is a skill for Codex from dayfinggg/openai-codex-agent-skills. It costs 47 tokens per session (493 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A verification guide for checking whether completed engineering work really meets its requirements.

In plain words
What is it for?
Choosing and running tests, checking builds and static analysis when needed, inspecting the final diff, and reporting verified claims and remaining risks.
Why use it?
It connects each claimed result to focused tests, real outputs, or other evidence instead of relying on assumptions.

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 3d 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 — 35 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Verify

Follow the governing instructions and the user's requirements for communication, code style, authorization, and delegation. This skill supplies task-specific guidance, not permission to expand the task. Its workflow and output fields describe internal checks and relevant content, not a mandatory response layout or a progress report. When used within broader authorized work, continue that work through completion rather than stopping to deliver this skill's intermediate result.

Completion is an evidence claim. Select checks that directly support that claim.

Derive the claims

List the observable requirements, preserved invariants, and material failure modes. Map each claim to the strongest practical check. Prefer user-visible execution, integration behavior, or authoritative state over proxies.

Run the checks

Start with focused checks that isolate the changed behavior. Add broader tests, builds, static analysis, or compatibility checks in proportion to the blast radius. Inspect the final diff for unintended files, stale code paths, debug output, and mismatched tests.

Build or package the real artifact when construction or deployment changed, then run a smoke path through that artifact rather than only through source-level tests. For performance claims, preserve the baseline workload, profile the relevant path, and compare repeated measurements after the change.

For replay, retry, durability, or recovery claims, use isolated test state to exercise relevant interruptions and recovery, then verify duplicate and partial outcomes. Do not interrupt live operations, alter production data, or introduce failure injection without explicit authorization.

For security-sensitive delivery, check the existing artifact provenance and release controls relevant to the change. Exercise restore, failover, revocation, or key rotation only when these behaviors are in scope and an isolated environment or specific authorization is available. Do not turn routine verification into a production resilience exercise.

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 dayfinggg/openai-codex-agent-skills (4 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 47 tokens to every session and 493 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.
