app-verification

app-verification is a skill for Claude Code from mblode/agent-skills. It costs 69 tokens per session (2,102 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A procedure for building and maintaining a verification harness inside an application's repository. The harness includes commands and project data that let agents run the application and check user-facing features consistently.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add a verification command, a health-check command, isolated worktree instances, feature maps, seed data, test accounts, and reproducible bug reports.
Why use it?
Without a shared way to run and inspect an application, each agent may create a different temporary test setup. This provides a repeatable project-local verification process and a reproduce-first bug handoff.

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

app-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 5d 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 — 103 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

App Verification

Builds, inside a product's own repository, the harness every agent uses to run that product and prove a claim about it: a verify CLI, a doctor command, an isolated instance per worktree, a feature map written from the user's point of view, seed data and test accounts, and a reproduce-first bug handoff. The harness lives in the target repo, not in this skill; this skill scaffolds and then maintains it, so every agent that opens that repo runs the app the same way instead of writing a throwaway script each session.

  • IS: scaffolding a project-local verification harness (Create mode) and running or extending one that already exists (Maintain mode): the verify CLI's contract, the feature-map format, the proof record, per-worktree isolation and seed data, the cheapest-method ladder up to computer use, and the bug-handoff format.
  • IS NOT: ad hoc browser probes against a fixed catalogue of UI rules (ui-verification; this skill's verify can call those probes as one check among several), repo-wide module boundaries and enforcement tooling (codebase-architecture; this skill's CI wiring follows its enforcement order), pruning an existing test suite (test-audit), or a plan for one feature (planning).

Invocation

Create mode edits the target repo and Maintain mode drives a real running instance of it; both run only when named, not from a loose "check the app" prompt a lighter skill might serve better. On a host that supports it, add disable-model-invocation: true to the installed copy's frontmatter. It is a host extension, not a portable field, so it is not shipped in this source (agent-skills-creator's references/format-specification.md explains why). Hosts with an equivalent explicit-invocation setting should apply it the same way.

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.
