verification-protocol

verification-protocol is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dotnet/maui-labs. It costs 105 tokens per session (1,376 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A procedure for verifying .NET MAUI and Comet applications on a real device, including building, deploying, inspecting, and interactively testing the app.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after changes to screens, navigation, services, or behavior to check the fresh binary against reference code and screenshots.
Why use it?
It prevents declaring a task complete based only on a successful build or a screenshot from an outdated app version.

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

verification-protocol 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 — 110 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Verification Protocol

Verification means proving that code changes produce the intended result on a real device, against reference material, through interactive exercise — not just proving they compile. A fresh binary is built and deployed, the UI is inspected via DevFlow visual tree, navigation is exercised interactively, features are tested with real inputs, and results are compared against the original BaristaNotes app code and reference screenshots. A broken tool in this chain is a problem to solve, not a reason to skip a step.

No task is done until verified on device. "It builds" is not done. A screenshot of a stale binary is not done.

Rule 1: Own Your Dependencies

When a tool or dependency is broken, fix it. The solution is in the repo, the reference code, or the documentation you were given.

Problem Wrong Right
DevFlow won't connect "⚠️ Skipped — agent didn't connect" Diagnose: maui-devflow diagnose. Check csproj integration, broker status, entitlements, ports. Fix the issue. DevFlow source is in this repo — build a custom version if needed.
API key missing "⚠️ Needs API key" Read the reference app's code. It shows exactly how to source the key (IConfiguration, appsettings.json, env vars). Do what it does.
Simulator issue "⚠️ No simulator available" xcrun simctl create "Verify" "iPhone 16 Pro" then boot it.
Build fails on iOS TFM "✅ Builds on Release" Fix the iOS Debug build. That's the one that deploys.

If you report "blocked" and the answer is in the repo — that is a failure.

Rule 2: Verify Against Reference

When reference material exists (original app code at ~/work/BaristaNotes, screenshots at ~/Downloads/baristanotes-screenshots/), compare your result against it. Do not check if "it looks reasonable."

Rule 3: Verify the Specific Change

Generic verification is not verification. After completing all levels, explicitly test the exact behavior your task was supposed to produce or fix:

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.

verification-protocol is a skill published in the GitHub repository dotnet/maui-labs (213 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 105 tokens to every session and 1,376 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-09-03.
