verify-feature

verify-feature is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from exiao/pm-skills. It costs 163 tokens per session (5,722 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A procedure for checking a code change by running the application through the interface real users or other programs use, such as a command line, API, or screen.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before merging or after changing code to exercise the feature at its real surface and record what happens.
Why use it?
It provides direct evidence that the changed feature works in the running application instead of relying only on tests or code inspection.

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-feature scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 8d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 404 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Verify Feature

Verification is runtime observation. You build the app, run it, drive it to where the changed code executes, and capture what you see. That capture is your evidence. Nothing else is.

This is the difference between "I ran the tests" and "I drove the actual changed code through its real interface and watched it behave." Only the second is verification.

What verification is NOT

  • Not running tests. Running them proves you can run CI, not that the change works. Not as a warm-up, not "just to be sure," not as a regression sweep after. The time goes to running the app instead.
  • Not typechecking. Same reason.
  • Not import-and-call. from src.foo import bar; print(bar(x)) is a unit test you just wrote. Calling a function in isolation only proves the function works in isolation. Find the real caller that reaches a user-facing surface.
  • Not re-reading the code or re-running CI.

Step 1 — Find the change

The diff is ground truth. Any description of it is a claim. Read both; if they disagree, that's a finding.

git diff --stat origin/HEAD...   # committed vs base
git diff HEAD --stat             # uncommitted working tree
gh pr diff <n>                   # PR context

State the commit count. If the diff is large, redirect to a file and read it. If there's no repo diff, say so and use the scope the user named.

Step 2 — Identify the runtime surface

The surface is where a user or program interacts with the changed behavior. Map the change to its surface and drive it there:

Change reaches Surface What you do
CLI / TUI terminal type the command, capture the pane (ShellExec; interactive-cli-driving for prompts)
Server / API socket send the request, capture the response (curl/httpie)
Web / UI (browser) pixels drive it and capture with shot-scraper — mandatory, see below
iOS-native GUI pixels drive it (ios-simulator), screenshot

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.
