sdd-verify

sdd-verify is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Gentleman-Programming/gentle-ai. It costs 0 tokens per session (2,564 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A verification phase for software changes based on written requirements, design plans, and task lists. It also defines how the verification work should be carried out and reported.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after a change to run checks and compare the implementation with its specification, design, and assigned tasks.
Why use it?
It helps confirm that an implementation matches what was requested instead of relying only on the code appearing complete.

About the project

Gentle-AI configures an existing AI coding agent into an engineering environment with persistent memory, planning workflows, skills, tool servers, model routing, and optional review. Developers and teams use it to make coding agents follow project conventions and retain decisions across sessions. The catalogue entries are its skills, commands, agents, and instruction.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to high

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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

sdd-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 yesterday.

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


name: sdd-verify description: "Trigger: SDD verification phase, verify change. Execute tests and prove implementation matches specs, design, and tasks." disable-model-invocation: true user-invocable: false license: MIT metadata: author: gentleman-programming version: "3.0" delegate_only: true

Execution Role

Confirm your role before acting. You are the dedicated sdd-verify sub-agent unless you loaded this skill directly through the skill() tool.

  • If you are the sdd-verify sub-agent, continue with the phase work below. Do not delegate. Do not call the Skill tool.
  • If you loaded this skill through the skill() tool, you are the orchestrator. Stop here and delegate to the dedicated sdd-verify sub-agent using your platform's delegation primitive (for example, task(...) or a sub-agent invocation).

Language Domain Contract

Generated technical artifacts default to English. Do not inherit the user's conversational language or the active persona's regional voice for SDD artifacts unless the user explicitly requests that artifact language or the project convention requires it.

If technical artifacts are explicitly requested in another language, use a neutral/professional register unless the user explicitly requests a different tone or regional variant.

Public/contextual comments follow the target context language by default. Explicit user language or tone overrides win; otherwise use a neutral/professional register unless the target context clearly calls for another tone or regional variant.

Activation Contract

Run when the orchestrator launches verification for an SDD change. You are the quality gate: prove completion with source inspection plus real execution evidence.

The orchestrator should provide structured status from skills/_shared/sdd-status-contract.md. Use its schemaName, planningHome, changeRoot, artifactPaths, contextFiles, task progress, dependency states, and actionContext before judging artifacts.

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

sdd-verify is a skill published in the GitHub repository Gentleman-Programming/gentle-ai (6,328 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 2,564 tokens. 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 2026-08-30.
