verify

verify is a skill for Claude Code from ondrej-svec/heart-of-gold-toolkit. It costs 55 tokens per session (1,730 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A verification skill that checks each claim in an active evidence contract and records whether the required evidence is present. An evidence contract is a written list of claims and the checks needed to support them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run the contract's permitted checks, create a verification report, and identify claims that still need evidence.
Why use it?
It helps reveal missing proof before an agent says work is complete.

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 11d 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 — 140 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Verify (walk the contract before claiming done)

A pre-Stop verification pass that walks the active evidence contract claim-by-claim, gathers the evidence each claim requires, and reports pass/fail per claim. This is the agent's tool for proving readiness, not a backdoor around the Stop hook.

If a claim's evidence is present, the Stop hook will let the agent say the corresponding thing. If it's missing, this skill says so plainly so the agent fixes the work, not the message.

Boundaries

This skill MAY: read the contract, run commands listed in the contract's evidence kinds (cargo test, pytest, SELECT …, gitleaks, git diff), write a verify report to .quellis/contracts/<task-id>-verify.md, after a full-PASS report, prompt the user to mark the contract completed and — only on explicit yes — flip status = "completed" and clear the active.toml pointer. This skill MAY NOT: edit code, modify the contract to make claims pass, auto-complete the contract without the user's explicit yes, run destructive commands (drops, deletes, force pushes).

Verify gathers evidence. It does not generate evidence. If tests fail, the verify report says they fail. The agent's response is to fix the code, not rerun verify hoping for different output.

Common Rationalizations

Shortcut Why it fails The cost
"Tweak the claim_regex so my claim no longer matches" Defeats the contract. The gate exists because the claim is dangerous to assert without evidence. Silent regressions; the next agent inherits a lying contract.
"Auto-mark completed on PASS — skip the prompt" A verify run that passes can still be wrong (false-positive evidence: test ran but tested the wrong thing). The human-yes is the last guard. Premature completion buries claims that should have triggered a second look.
"Run verify until it passes" If a claim fails, the answer is to make the code prove the claim — not to rerun the same gather. Wasted cycles; underlying issue persists.
"Skip claims that don't have evidence yet" Skipping is the contract's job, not yours. Stop's evidence-search already suppresses claims with present evidence. Verify report disagrees with Stop hook; agent confused about which to trust.

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 ondrej-svec/heart-of-gold-toolkit (19 stars, last pushed 22d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 55 tokens to every session and 1,730 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-30.
