maintain-verification-skill

A maintenance process for a project's verification skill and feature map. A verification skill is a set of instructions for checking that features work, while a feature map records what needs checking.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review every listed feature against the source code and a live running session, then report whether the verification material is clean, needs a correction, or is blocked.
Why use it?
It finds documentation and test coverage that no longer match the changing application, without changing the application itself.

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

maintain-verification-skill 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 — 39 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Maintain a verification skill

A feature map rots the moment the app changes. This skill is the upkeep loop for a skill generated by create-verification-skill, or any project-local verification skill with a feature map. The unit of rigor is the feature, not every sentence: cover every feature file from source and exercise every feature live, without terminalising every bullet.

Outcomes

Pick one, and say which:

  • clean — every feature got source and live coverage; nothing worth shipping. No branch, no PR.
  • changed — one PR ships proven doc, harness, or map corrections.
  • blocked — coverage could not finish or a proven fix could not ship safely. Say exactly what blocked it.

Edit scope

Only edit the verification skill's own directory (its SKILL.md, features/, and any harness scripts it owns). Never edit product code during a run: a behavior the map describes that the app no longer does is either doc drift (fix the map) or a product regression (report it, don't paper over it in docs).

Pass

  1. Locate the target. Read the host-path table, then find verify-* under the active host's project skill root. Confirm that the candidate has launch and drive sections plus a feature map. If several candidates exist, ask which one. If none exist, stop and point at create-verification-skill instead of inventing a target.

  2. Index hygiene. Read the feature map README and glob its sibling files. Fix missing, extra, duplicate, or dead entries. Lightweight; no generated inventory.

  3. Source wave. When subagents are available and permitted, launch one read-only subagent per feature file. Otherwise inspect every feature inline. Each pass explains how the user-facing feature works from source, flags likely doc drift with citations, and returns one concise live-verification recipe. Source readers never drive the app or edit files. Return the feature summary, source entry points, likely drift or none, and one recipe.

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.
