verify

verify is a skill for Claude Code from epicsagas/epic-harness. It costs 23 tokens per session (692 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A pre-completion checklist that requires a project's build, tests, lint checks, and applicable type checks to pass before work is marked finished or shipped.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before reporting a coding task as done or opening a pull request.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance of delivering code that fails to build, breaks tests, or contains unfinished debugging changes.

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 1mo 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.

Verify — Pre-Completion Check

Iron Law

NO COMPLETION CLAIMS WITHOUT FRESH VERIFICATION EVIDENCE. "I tested it" without output is an unverified claim.

When to Trigger

  • Before a /go subagent reports "done"
  • Before /ship creates a PR
  • Before telling the user "it's ready"
  • After any significant code change

Process

1. Build

# Detect and run the project's build command
npm run build  # or: go build ./... | cargo build | make

Must exit 0. If it fails, fix before proceeding.

2. Test

# Run the project's test suite
npm test  # or: go test ./... | pytest | cargo test

Must exit 0. If tests fail, invoke debug skill.

3. Lint

# Run linter if configured
npm run lint  # or: golangci-lint run | ruff check | cargo clippy

Warnings are OK. Errors must be fixed.

4. Type Check (if applicable)

npx tsc --noEmit  # TypeScript
mypy .            # Python

5. Final Sanity

  • No console.log / print debug statements left
  • No TODO or FIXME introduced without explanation
  • No hardcoded test values or credentials
  • All new files are tracked by git

Anti-Rationalization

Excuse Rebuttal What to do instead
"Tests pass locally" Did you actually run them? Trust the output, not your memory. Run npm test right now. Show the output.
"I only changed one file" One file can break the entire build. Imports propagate. Full build + test. Every time. No exceptions.
"Lint warnings aren't errors" Warnings become errors. Fix them before they multiply. Zero warnings policy. Fix now or suppress with justification.
"CI will catch it" CI feedback is 5-10 min delayed. Catch it locally in seconds. Run verify locally before pushing. CI is the safety net, not the test.

Evidence Required

Before reporting "ready", show ALL of these:

  • Build output: exit code 0 (show the command + result)
  • Test output: all passing (show summary line)
  • Lint output: zero errors (show summary or "clean")
  • Type check output: no errors (show tsc --noEmit or equivalent)
  • Final sanity: no console.log, no unexplained TODO, no hardcoded values

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.
