verification

A checklist for verifying software work before calling it complete, committing changes, opening pull requests, or reporting status.

In plain words
What is it for?
Running and reviewing the commands needed to support claims about tests, linting, builds, commits, pull requests, and task completion.
Why use it?
It requires fresh command output as evidence, reducing the risk of claiming that tests, builds, or other checks passed when they did not.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

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 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.

Verification Skill

Evidence before claims, always. NO COMPLETION CLAIMS WITHOUT FRESH VERIFICATION.

Iron Law

NO COMPLETION CLAIMS WITHOUT FRESH VERIFICATION EVIDENCE. If you have not run the verification command in the current session, you cannot claim it passes. Prior knowledge, assumptions, and memory of previous runs do not count. Only fresh output from the current session constitutes evidence.

The Five-Step Gate

Every completion claim must pass through this gate:

  1. Identify — Determine which command proves your claim. "Tests pass" requires running the test suite. "No lint errors" requires running the linter. "It builds" requires running the build.
  2. Execute — Run the command freshly. Not from memory. Not from a previous session. Right now, in the current session.
  3. Read — Read the FULL output. Do not skim. Do not assume. If the output is long, read all of it. Errors can hide at the end.
  4. Verify — Confirm the output actually supports your claim. A test suite that prints results but exits with a failure code does not pass. A build that emits warnings about missing dependencies is not clean.
  5. Assert — Only after steps 1-4 are complete, state your claim and include the evidence. Quote the relevant output.

JS/TS Verification Checklist

Before claiming work is complete in this project, run each applicable command and confirm clean output:

Check Command What it proves
Type checking tsc --noEmit No type errors across the project
Tests npx vitest run or npm test All tests pass
Lint npx eslint . No lint errors or warnings
Formatting npx prettier --check . All files match formatting rules
Production build next build Build succeeds, catches SSR/hydration issues

Run these in order. A type error caught by tsc is cheaper to fix than one discovered during next build. A lint error is cheaper to fix before tests run.

If a project uses a different test runner, linter, or build tool, substitute the appropriate commands. The principle is the same: run the real tool, read the real output.

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.

verification is a skill published in the GitHub repository iwritec0de/app-dev (3 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 53 tokens to every session and 855 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
