create-verification

create-verification is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from EzraApple/skills-init. It costs 43 tokens per session (387 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A recipe writer for creating repository instructions that prove a real application, command-line tool, or API user journey works. The instructions cover setup, a visible action, an independent check of the result, evidence, and cleanup.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or update a repo-local verification skill for browser, application, CLI, or API journeys.
Why use it?
It prevents verification from accidentally testing the wrong process, stale server, or isolated internal state. It turns one-off testing knowledge into a repeatable check another agent can run.

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

create-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 18d 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.

What it actually says

Create verification

Write a repo-local .agents/skills/verify-<app>/SKILL.md that another agent can run to prove a real user journey. Adapt the name and location to an existing repo convention when one exists. Reuse the repository's working harness, fixtures, and checks before adding new ones.

Inspect the current entry points, startup commands, configuration, and app behavior. The recipe must identify the exact target and prove readiness, so an agent cannot accidentally test a stale server or the wrong environment. State required credentials and data as preconditions; do not embed secrets.

Make each journey reproducible:

  1. Start or connect to the target, verify its identity and ready state, and prepare isolated data.
  2. Perform a real action through the user-facing app, CLI, or API. Name the input and the expected visible result.
  3. Read back the resulting state or side effect through an independent surface when available. Record evidence that remains after cleanup.
  4. Remove only data and processes the recipe created. Track process ownership; never kill by a broad name or port match.

Use the environment the user asked to verify. For browser journeys, follow the user's preferred browser path and existing approval. Describe a blocked precondition honestly rather than replacing the real journey with a mock or a static check.

Run the written recipe, including the success and failure paths it claims to verify. Correct gaps found during that run. If access or setup prevents a path, mark it unverified and state the failed step, observed result, and what would unblock it. Keep the recipe short enough to run again; move long commands or fixture setup into a script only when that improves reliability.

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.
