dot: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/dot-verify/SKILL.md

dot-verify is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from fmind/dot. It costs 34 tokens per session (854 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A release-readiness workflow for the Dot project that reviews changes, checks documentation, runs project gates, and smoke-tests the command-line tool. A smoke test is a quick check that the main program works.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect committed and uncommitted changes, verify repository documentation, run checks, and fix findings before a release.
Why use it?
It brings code, documentation, tests, and the working tree together before release, while preserving unrelated local work and avoiding commits or pushes.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); mentions AGENTS.md.

This is fmind/dot's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on dot itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything dot configures →

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

dot-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 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 — 31 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Verify Dot

Prove that the current checkout (committed and uncommitted work) is correct, documented, and releasable. This skill sequences the owners; repository-review, repository-docs, dot-development, and dot-skills own the details. Verification fixes findings in place but never commits, pushes, or releases; dot-release owns that.

Workflow

  1. Record the baseline: record git status --short, staged and unstaged diffs, untracked files, and git fetch state against origin/main. Commits already on main since the last tag are part of the candidate; preserve unrelated work.
  2. Review the change set: list what changed since the last tag (git diff <tag>) plus uncommitted work, excluding generated locks. For large sets, fan out read-only reviews by area (dot Python, chezmoi and host config, docs and skills) and verify each finding against code or real local data before fixing. Behavior fixes need regression tests per dot-development.
  3. Synchronize docs: check README.md, AGENTS.md, dot_agents/AGENTS.md, .github/*.md, .agents/skills/, and skills/ against the code: removed or renamed files, commands and flags (uv run --frozen --project dot dot <command> --help), tasks (mise tasks), and JSON fields. Bump updated: on changed skills; run mise run format:skills for guide indexes; follow dot-skills for catalog changes.
  4. Run the gates: mise run all, then the host checks it omits: mise run check:completions and mise run test:starters. Rerun only what a later fix invalidates.
  5. Smoke-test the CLI from the repository root with uv run --frozen --project dot dot (--directory dot would resolve . to dot/): --help for every top-level command, then read-only commands: doctor, agent doctor, agent context --check, config show, status, orphan, cache, prune --dry-run, prune --aggressive --dry-run, pull --dry-run, trust --dry-run ., and agent stats --no-sync. Every exit code must be 0 or explained.
  6. Check the workstation when tools or dotfiles changed: mise run diff preview, dot orphan for retired targets (report, never delete), and mise run doctor. STALE for the installed dot is expected until release or mise run deploy.
  7. Report: fixed findings, deliberately left items with reasons, each check and its result, and confirm the tested snapshot equals the candidate (the working tree after the last fix).

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.

dot-verify is a skill published in the GitHub repository fmind/dot (12 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 34 tokens to every session and 854 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-25.
