create-verification-skill

create-verification-skill is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from minghinmatthewlam/agent-guards. It costs 64 tokens per session (1,292 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of create-verification-skill, MIT.

A generator that creates a project-local verification skill. That skill launches the real app, uses it like a user, and records evidence that features work.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for examining a repository, finding how its app runs, and generating checks tailored to that app.
Why use it?
It gives an agent a repeatable way to prove behavior when a project lacks scripts for checking its user interface, command-line tool, service, or other main surface.

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

create-verification-skill scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 today.

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.

Create a verification skill

Every serious project needs a scripted way to drive the real app and prove behavior: launch it, exercise a feature the way a user would, and capture evidence. This skill generates that as a project-local skill (.agents/skills/verify-<app>/) tailored to the repo. You write the generator's output for the next agent, not for a human: it will be read cold, mid-task, by an agent that has never seen the app.

1. Interview the repo, not the user

Answer these from the codebase and only ask the user what you cannot observe:

  • Surface: what does a user actually touch? A web UI, a CLI/TUI, a desktop app, an API, a mobile app, a library? A repo can have several; pick the primary one and note the rest.
  • Run: how does the app start locally? Prefer the repo's own documented dev command (package scripts, Makefile, README quickstart). Note ports, env vars, seed data, auth.
  • Drive: how can an agent interact with it programmatically? Existing harnesses first — Playwright/Cypress specs, expect scripts, PTY helpers, curl-able endpoints, a debug port. Only then pick a generic recipe: browser/CDP for web and Electron, a tmux/PTY harness for CLI/TUI, plain HTTP for services.
  • Observe: what evidence can be captured? Screenshots, terminal transcripts, response bodies, logs, exit codes, DB state.
  • Isolate: can two instances run side by side (ports, data dirs, profiles)? If not, say so in the generated skill: refusing to double-drive a shared instance beats corrupting the user's session.

If the checkout doesn't build or start as-is, fix that first (or report it precisely) before generating; a skill written against a broken base teaches wrong steps. When an irrelevant missing asset blocks startup (a static dir the API never serves, a sample config), the generated skill may create it, clearly marked as verification scaffolding, and remove it in cleanup.

2. Generate the skill

Write .agents/skills/verify-<app>/SKILL.md with YAML frontmatter (name: verify-<app> and a description that names the app, the surface, and when to reach for it — without frontmatter the skill never registers) and these sections, each grounded in what the interview actually found (no placeholders left):

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.
