agentic-os: Skill for Codex

.agents/skills/verification-before-completion/SKILL.md

verification-before-completion is a skill for Codex from KbWen/agentic-os. It costs 22 tokens per session (329 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A completion check that requires reproducible evidence before work can be called finished. It covers scope, quality checks, evidence, risks, rollback, and communication.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before handing off work or submitting a pull request, and after changes involving data, permissions, or core user flows.
Why use it?
It prevents unverified claims that a task is complete, especially when tests fail or important risks remain.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is KbWen/agentic-os's own configuration. It tells Codex how to work on agentic-os itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything agentic-os configures →

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-before-completion 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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

Verification Before Completion

Overview

Any "completed" statement MUST be supported by evidence. This skill provides a pre-completion Gate Function, ensuring results are reproducible, traceable, and deliverable.

Ironclad Rules

  • No evidence = no completion claim.
  • Evidence MUST be reproducible by others; verbal descriptions are NOT accepted.
  • If tests/checks fail, the status MUST revert to in-progress.

When to Use

  • Tasks are preparing to enter /ship.
  • Before submitting PRs or handing off work.
  • After completing high-risk changes (data, permissions, core flows).

Gate Function

  1. Scope Gate: Confirm changes only cover the agreed scope.
  2. Quality Gate: Execute required tests and static checks.
  3. Evidence Gate: Compile reproducible evidence (commands, outputs, versions).
  4. Risk Gate: Confirm rollback strategies and known risks.
  5. Communication Gate: Output a completion summary (changes, validation, constraints).

Minimum Evidence Checklist

  • At least one set of tests/checks directly related to this change.
  • Specific execution commands and results (Success/Failure/Warning).
  • If there are unfinished items, explicitly mark them with follow-up suggestions.

Common Mistakes

  • Claiming "it should work" without any output evidence.
  • Testing only the happy path, missing regressions or edge cases.
  • Treating old test results as evidence for new changes.

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.
