verify

verify is a skill for Claude Code from juanmhidalgo/claude-plugins. It costs 86 tokens per session (1,288 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only workflow for checking one or more GitHub issues against the current code. It can review specific issues or find open issues by label.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to verify issue claims, compare them with the current branch, and produce a review ledger without posting changes.
Why use it?
It helps separate current problems from issues that have drifted, been fixed, or were incorrect before implementation begins.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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 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 14d 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 — 136 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Context

  • Repository: !git remote get-url origin 2>/dev/null || echo "no remote"
  • Checkout path: !git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null
  • HEAD: !git log -1 --format='%h %cs' 2>/dev/null
  • Current branch: !git branch --show-current

Arguments

$ARGUMENTS

  • One or more issues: URLs, or #N / N for this repo (gh repo view --json nameWithOwner).
  • Or --label <label> with optional --limit N (default 10): open issues with that label, via gh issue list --repo {owner}/{repo} --label <label> --state open --limit N --json number,title.

Verification runs against the local checkout, so issues must belong to this repo. An issue from another repo → STOP and say which checkout to run it from.

If the current branch is not the default branch, say so: the ledger is only true for this HEAD.

Herdr pane

With --pane, run the verification in a Herdr pane in collect mode: follow ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/herdr-pane.md. It falls back to the normal run outside Herdr. Questions the run asks happen in the pane, and Herdr notifies the user. --pane / --no-pane are flags: drop them before reading the arguments. Resolve the list here first (step 1), so the pane receives issue numbers, not a label query that could resolve differently by the time it runs.

  • Command string: /github-issues:verify <resolved issue numbers> --no-pane
  • Report: <scratchpad dir>/verify-<first issue>.md
  • Present: the ledger and verdicts as the report has them. Anything the pane posted to GitHub was approved there; do not offer to post it again.

Workflow

1. Resolve the list

Resolve the arguments into issue numbers. With more than 10, show the list and ask before continuing — each issue costs one agent.

2. Verify in parallel

Spawn one github-issues:issue-verifier per issue, all in a single message. Do not pass a name to the Agent tool. Each prompt is exactly:

ISSUE: {owner}/{repo}#{number}
REPO_PATH: {checkout path}
RULES: {base directory of this skill}/../work/references/verification.md
       {base directory of this skill}/../work/references/work-types.md

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.
