verify-task

verify-task is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from flurdy/agent-skills. It costs 33 tokens per session (1,780 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A quality check for a completed task that compares the implementation with its requirements and examines test coverage. It checks normal cases, failures, and edge cases before task completion.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after implementation to review a task's completeness and decide whether its tests adequately cover expected and unusual behavior.
Why use it?
It helps reveal missing requirements or tests before the work is marked complete.

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-task 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 — 224 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Verify Task

Check that an implementation fulfills its task requirements and that tests adequately cover the changes.

When to Use

  • After finishing implementation, before committing
  • When unsure if test coverage is sufficient
  • As a quality gate before /complete-task
  • When reviewing your own work for completeness

Usage

/verify-task              # Auto-detect in-progress bead
/verify-task <bead-id>    # Verify against a specific bead

Instructions

Tier guard

This skill is model-tier: premium. Before starting, check which model you are running as. If it is below the premium tier for this runtime (e.g. Sonnet or Haiku in Claude Code), say so and ask via AskUserQuestion whether to:

  • Continue here — accept reduced depth on this run
  • Stop — switch model (/model in Claude Code) or rerun in a premium session

Skip the prompt when the user explicitly chose the current model. On a premium model, stay silent and proceed.

1. Identify the Task

# If bead ID provided, use it directly
bd show <bead-id>

# Otherwise, find the in-progress bead
bd list --status=in_progress

If multiple beads are in progress, ask the user which one to verify.

2. Gather Context

Collect the full picture of what changed and what was required:

# Read the bead requirements
bd show <bead-id>

# See what files changed
git status
git diff
git diff --cached

Read the bead description carefully. Extract:

  • Explicit requirements — what the bead says to do
  • Implicit requirements — obvious behaviors that follow from the description (e.g., a "delete" feature implies confirmation, error handling)
  • Type of change — feature, bug fix, refactor, config, docs, chore

3. Verify Requirements Are Met

Read each changed file. Compare the implementation against the requirements.

Check:

  • Every explicit requirement from the bead is addressed
  • The implementation is functionally correct (logic, data flow)
  • No partial implementations left behind (TODOs, placeholder code)
  • Changes are scoped to the task (no unrelated modifications)

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-task is a skill published in the GitHub repository flurdy/agent-skills (7 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 33 tokens to every session and 1,780 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.
