What is assess-verification?

A codebase assessment skill that reviews how a project checks its software and reports its verification maturity. Verification includes tests and other ways to detect incorrect, unsafe, or broken code.

Use it to audit tests and other verification tools, assess coverage and feedback loops, identify missing checks, and create a verification report.

It reveals gaps such as missing tests, weak checks, unclear expected results, or steps that still require human review. This makes it easier to decide what should be checked automatically before changes are accepted.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00053	$0.04039
Opus 5	$0.00026	$0.02020
Sonnet 5	$0.00011	$0.00808
Haiku 4.5	$0.00005	$0.00404

Security

Grade A, and why

assess-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 9d 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.

Software Verification Assessment

Assess the current verification maturity of a codebase. Produce a verification-report.md with maturity tier, component breakdown, missing oracles, exactness analysis, human review requirements, autonomy candidates, feedback loop completeness, workflow gate assessment, and shift-left positioning.

Workflow

Step 1: Inventory existing verification

Search for all verification-related artifacts:

Testing:

Test files: *_test.*, *_spec.*, test_*.*, tests/, __tests__/
Test config: jest.config.*, pytest.ini, pyproject.toml [tool.pytest], vitest.config.*
Property tests: imports of hypothesis, fast-check, proptest, QuickCheck
Fuzzing: fuzz/, *_fuzz_test.go, cargo-fuzz config, AFL configs
Mutation testing: mutmut, stryker.conf.*, cargo-mutants config

Static analysis:

Linters: .eslintrc*, ruff.toml, .golangci.yml, clippy.toml
Type checkers: tsconfig.json, mypy.ini, pyrightconfig.json
SAST tools: .semgrep/, codeql-config.yml
Sanitizers: ASan/TSan/UBSan flags in build configs or CI
Profiling: pprof, perf, py-spy configurations or scripts

Security and supply chain:

Dependency / SCA scanning: Dependabot (.github/dependabot.yml), Renovate, Snyk, npm audit, pip-audit, osv-scanner, govulncheck in CI
Secret scanning: gitleaks, detect-secrets, trufflehog configs or hooks
IaC scanning: tfsec, checkov, kics, terrascan configs or CI steps

Contracts and schemas:

Schemas: *.schema.json, *.proto, openapi.*, *.graphql
Contracts: assertions, icontract, contracts library imports, invariant
Consumer-driven contracts: pact/, pacts/, Pact broker config, Spring Cloud Contract stubs
Formal specs: *.tla, *.cfg (TLC), *.als, *.dfy

CI and operational:

CI config: .github/workflows/, .gitlab-ci.yml
Coverage: codecov.yml, coverage report configs
Canary/shadow: feature flag configs, deployment configs, traffic splitting

What ships with it

12 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.
