agents-create-verification-skill

agents-create-verification-skill is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jpoehnelt/skills. It costs 70 tokens per session (897 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow that creates a project-local verification guide for driving an application's real user surface, such as a website, command-line tool, API, desktop app, or mobile app.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect the repository for how to start and use the app, then create a verification skill that exercises a feature with browser automation, terminal interaction, or HTTP requests.
Why use it?
Projects without a repeatable way to prove user-visible behaviour leave later agents guessing. The generated guide records real commands, data, access details, and evidence steps.

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

agents-create-verification-skill scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 8d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 51 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Create a verification skill

Produce .agents/skills/verify-<surface>/SKILL.md, a skill that launches the real app, exercises a feature the way a user would, and captures evidence. The next agent reads it cold, so it must work from the file alone. Every command in it must be real.

Repo facts (from AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, or README.md): the local run command, ports, seed users and data, auth, the existing e2e harness, and any skill that already covers rendered UI evidence.

1. Interview the repo, not the user

Answer from the codebase. Ask the user in chat only about what you cannot observe.

  • Surface. Web UI, CLI, TUI, API, desktop, mobile, or device. Pick the primary one; a repo with several gets one skill per surface.
  • Run. Read package.json scripts, Makefile, README.md, and AGENTS.md for the documented start command, ports, env vars, seed data, and auth. Prefer a one-command local stack when the repo has one.
  • Drive. Prefer an existing harness: ls for playwright.config.*, cypress.config.*, e2e folders, health or metrics endpoints, or curl-able routes. Otherwise use Playwright for web, a tmux or PTY session for CLI and TUI, and plain HTTP (curl) for services. If an existing skill already covers this surface, extend it instead.
  • Observe. Screenshots, response bodies, logs, exit codes, database state.
  • Isolate. Can two instances run side by side? If not, the skill must say so.

If the checkout does not build or start, report that precisely before generating anything.

2. Write the skill

Frontmatter: name: verify-<surface>, and a description naming the app, the surface, and "Use when ...". Sections:

  • Launch. The exact start command and how to tell it is ready (a log line or a health response). It must work from an empty data directory, including migrations and seed data. Include teardown.
  • Doctor. One read-only check: process up, right build, port owned by this run, auth valid.
  • Drive. Real selectors and commands from this repo. Prefer ARIA roles, labels, and data attributes over coordinates.
  • Evidence. What to capture and where. Exercise the real user path, not test-only endpoints. Capture the action and the resulting state. Verify side effects such as files, rows, and messages. Mock only at an existing production boundary.
  • Cleanup. Stop only what the run started, never by process name. Keep the evidence, including failure evidence.
  • Helpers. Any shipped script is bash with set -euo pipefail, executable, and shown in the skill body. Keep fragile prerequisites in the script, not copied into prose.

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.
