sw-verify

sw-verify is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Obsidian-Owl/specwright. It costs 32 tokens per session (3,054 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coordinator for the project's quality gates, meaning checks that judge whether a work unit is ready. It runs enabled checks in order, continues even when one fails, and combines the results into a report.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to verify a work unit against its specification and integration requirements, collect gate evidence, and prepare the review packet for shipping.
Why use it?
It puts test, specification, integration, and other checks in one repeatable process. It leaves evidence for each check and gives reviewers a concise summary of the outcome.

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

sw-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 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.

Goal

Run quality gates against the work unit. Continue through all gates regardless of failures and present the report at handoff per protocols/decision.md.

Inputs

  • {worktreeStateRoot}/session.json -- selected work
  • {repoStateRoot}/work/{selectedWork.id}/workflow.json -- work state and gate results
  • {projectArtifactsRoot}/config.json -- gate configuration
  • {workDir}/spec.md -- for spec compliance gate
  • {workDir}/implementation-rationale.md -- curated build rationale when present
  • {workArtifactsRoot}/{selectedWork.id}/integration-criteria.md -- behavioral IC list when present
  • Gate skill files in skills/gate-*/SKILL.md

Outputs

  • {repoStateRoot}/work/{selectedWork.id}/units/{selectedWork.unitId}/stage-report.md -- verify handoff digest
  • Evidence files in {workDir}/evidence/, one per gate
  • {workDir}/review-packet.md -- reviewer synthesis from approvals, rationale, proof, and gate outcomes
  • Selected work's workflow.json updated with gate results; status verifying
  • Aggregate report presented at gate handoff

Constraints

Stage boundary (LOW freedom): Follow protocols/stage-boundary.md. Run quality gates and show findings. NEVER fix code, create PRs, or ship. After gate handoff, STOP.

Ownership check (LOW freedom): Resolve the selected work from the current worktree session. If another live top-level worktree owns that work, STOP with explicit /sw-adopt guidance and do not rely on generic adopt/takeover behavior.

Assumption re-validation (LOW freedom) — before gate execution: Scan the design assumptions artifact from the design-level directory. Check ACCEPTED/VERIFIED assumptions against current code. Invalid → WARN in the aggregate report. Runs silently.

Approval lineage check (LOW freedom) — before gate execution: Use protocols/approvals.md and the shared helper to validate the recorded design and current unit-spec approval hashes. Missing, STALE, or SUPERSEDED lineage becomes a distinct approval finding; headless verify may report it but never create APPROVED entries.

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.

sw-verify is a skill published in the GitHub repository Obsidian-Owl/specwright (9 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 3,054 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. 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 2026-08-31.
