verification

A verification guide for checking software changes before calling a task complete. It requires running relevant commands, such as formatters, compilers, and tests, and recording evidence.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose checks for schema, Java, Python, API, and other project changes before reporting completion.
Why use it?
It prevents completion claims based only on assumptions that the code should work.

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

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

Verification Before Completion

No completion claims without fresh verification evidence.

Core Rule

Never say "done", "should work", "looks correct", or "this fixes it" without running the verification commands and showing the output.

Verification by Change Type

Schema Changes (openmetadata-spec/)

# 1. Regenerate models
make generate

# 2. Verify Java compilation
mvn test-compile -pl openmetadata-spec,openmetadata-service

# 3. Verify Python models
source env/bin/activate && cd ingestion
python -c "from metadata.generated.schema.entity.services.connections.<module> import <Model>; print('OK')"

# 4. If connection schema: verify UI schema resolution
cd openmetadata-ui/src/main/resources/ui && yarn parse-schema

Java Backend Changes

# 1. Format
mvn spotless:apply

# 2. Compile
mvn test-compile -pl <module>

# 3. Run relevant tests
mvn test -pl <module> -Dtest=<TestClass>

# 4. For API changes: run integration tests
mvn verify -pl openmetadata-integration-tests -Dtest=<IntegrationTestClass>

Python Ingestion Changes

source env/bin/activate && cd ingestion

# 1. Format (apply) then lint check (verify)
make py_format
make py_format_check

# 2. Type check
make static-checks

# 3. Run unit tests
python -m pytest tests/unit/<relevant_test>.py -v

# 4. For connector changes: run connector-specific tests
python -m pytest tests/unit/topology/<service_type>/ -v

Frontend Changes

cd openmetadata-ui/src/main/resources/ui

# 1. Lint
yarn lint

# 2. Type check
npx tsc --noEmit

# 3. Run unit tests
yarn test <path/to/changed/component>

# 4. For significant UI changes: run Playwright tests
yarn playwright:run --grep "<relevant test>"

Evidence Format

When reporting completion, include:

## Verification Results

### Commands Run
1. `mvn spotless:apply` — completed, no formatting changes needed
2. `mvn test -pl openmetadata-service -Dtest=MyTest` — 5/5 tests passed
3. `yarn lint` — no errors

### Test Output
[paste relevant test output showing PASS]

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.

verification is a skill published in the GitHub repository open-metadata/OpenMetadata (15,059 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 689 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
