verify-preflight

verify-preflight is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from implicit-labs/autosymph. It costs 77 tokens per session (1,326 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A fast preliminary check for the tools and files needed before a verification run. It can check infrastructure for iOS Simulator, web testing, and login-protected features.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps verify that authentication fixtures, simulators, device databases, and Playwright are ready for the planned tests.
Why use it?
It finds broken prerequisites in seconds, before a verification run wastes time failing later.

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-preflight 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/preflight.sh, test.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

verify-preflight

Fast-fail probes for verify agent infrastructure. Run this FIRST. If it returns exit 2, do NOT enter test classification or execution — emit the BLOCKED table the script printed and signal fail.

When to Use

Always, at the very start of any verify run, BEFORE Phase 1 (Load Context).

This skill exists because verify agents waste 5–10 minutes per run discovering that idb is broken or auth.md is missing by trying ui_tap or launching the sim and watching it fail repeatedly. A 10-second deterministic probe replaces the trial-and-error.

The Script

${AUTOSYMPH_SKILLS_DIR:-$HOME/.autosymph/skills}/verify-preflight/scripts/preflight.sh \
  --workspace "$WORKSPACE" \
  [--ios] [--web] [--auth-gated]

Pass the flags that match the test plan. If the test plan has any iOS items, pass --ios. If any web items, --web. If the feature under test is auth-gated (you need to log in to reach it), pass --auth-gated.

The script writes a single JSON line to stdout, then a markdown table:

{"status":"blocked","blocked_categories":["ios"],"probes":{"idb":{"result":"broken","detail":"python3 cannot import pyexpat: ..."}}}

## Verify Preflight

| Probe | Result | Detail |
|-------|--------|--------|
| idb   | BLOCK (broken) | python3 cannot import pyexpat: ... |
| sim   | PASS (ok)      | simctl available |

**Blocked categories:** ios

Mark every test item in the blocked categories as BLOCKED with the matching probe detail. Signal verify result `fail` with reason `preflight: ios`. Do not enter Phase 1+.

Exit Codes

Code Meaning Agent action
0 All probes passed Continue to Phase 1
2 At least one blocker Emit BLOCKED table for affected items, signal fail
1 Script error (bad args, missing python3) Treat as soft failure, continue but log warning

What the Probes Check

Probe What it verifies Bounded by
auth_md .autosymph/verify/auth.md exists and is non-empty none (file check)
idb python3 -c "import pyexpat" succeeds AND idb --help works 5s timeout each
sim xcrun simctl list devices booted returns 0 5s timeout
playwright npx --no-install playwright --version succeeds 8s timeout

Files

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.
