elps: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/verify/SKILL.md

verify is a skill for Claude Code from luthersystems/elps. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,267 once invoked), scanned A, original, BSD-3-Clause.

A pre-commit and pre-pull-request check that runs the same sequence as the repository's CI job. CI, or continuous integration, automatically checks proposed changes; these checks include static analysis, tests, race detection, formatting, and linting.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check whether changes are ready to commit or submit as a pull request.
Why use it?
It finds failures locally before they block a pull request or reach the shared build system. Running the checks in the documented order also stops at the first problem, making failures easier to address.

Skill for Claude Code

This is luthersystems/elps's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on elps 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 elps 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

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 2d 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 — 83 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/verify — CI Gate Skill

Runs the same checks as the Lint & Test job in .github/workflows/elps.yml, in the same order. Use it before committing or creating a PR. If CI's steps change, update this file to match — the workflow is the authority.

Trigger

Use when asked to verify changes, check CI readiness, or as a pre-commit/pre-PR gate.

Pipeline

Run in order. Stop and report on the first failure.

# Step Command CI step name
1 Confidentiality guard bash scripts/confidentiality-guard.sh Confidentiality guard
2 Go static checks make static-checks golangci-lint, golangci-lint config schema
3 Tests make test Tests
4 Race detector make race Race detection (full)
5 Tagged tests make test-elpscheck Singleton integrity (elpscheck)
6 elps's own Go analyzers make elpsvet Seal contract (elpsvet)
7 Sealed-AST benchmark oracle make bench-elpscheck-smoke Sealed-AST oracle over the benchmarks
8 Format go build -o elps . && ./elps fmt -l ./... Check formatting
9 Lisp lint ./elps lint --workspace=. --exclude 'grammar' --include '_examples' ./... Lint ELPS source
10 Docstrings ./elps doc -m Check missing documentation
11 API break gate make api-break-gate (BASE=origin/main default) API break gate (job api-break)
12 Work marker gate (none: shared workflow) quality / result (job work-markers in the shared Quality workflow)

Notes:

  • Step 2: make static-checks runs golangci-lint config verify, then golangci-lint run ./..., then a second pass under --build-tags elpscheck scoped to ./lisp/... (tagged files are invisible to the first, and today they only live there). It warns when your golangci-lint differs from CI's pin; on a mismatch, trust CI — see "golangci-lint version skew" in AGENTS.md before deleting any //nolint.
  • Step 6: two passes (untagged and GOFLAGS=-tags=elpscheck). For interpreting a finding, use the /elpsvet skill.
  • Step 8: -l lists files that would change; fix with ./elps fmt ./... and re-run.
  • Step 9: fix the diagnostic, or add ; nolint:<check-name> only for a genuine false positive.
  • Step 10: add the missing docstring to the builtin/op/macro/export.
  • Step 11: fails when the branch removes or incompatibly changes the Go API of a non-internal package or the Lisp public surface (packages, exports, kind, formals) against its merge base with BASE. If the break is intended, paste the line the gate prints into scripts/api-breaks.txt, fill the issue (and the substrate migration) and reason, and justify it in the PR. Otherwise restore compatibility (keep the old name/arity, add instead of change).
  • Step 12: fails on a work marker that does not name an open issue (MARKER(#N)) and that .github/quality/work-markers.txt does not cover, and on an entry that covers nothing. Do the work, or name its issue. Delete stale entries.
  • CI also builds and vets on Windows (go build ./... && go vet ./...); run go vet ./... if you touched OS-specific code.
  • Touched scripts/, cmd/benchgate, benchmark.yml or fuzz.yml? Also run make ci-gates-test (and make fuzz-classify-test for fuzz 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.

verify is a skill published in the GitHub repository luthersystems/elps (36 stars, last pushed today), licensed BSD-3-Clause. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,267 tokens. 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 2026-10-26.
