openspec-verify-change

openspec-verify-change is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from redhat-developer/rhdh-skills. It costs 93 tokens per session (753 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A review skill that checks whether completed code matches an OpenSpec change, a set of written requirements and implementation tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after implementing an OpenSpec change to check task completion, requirement coverage, design consistency, and specific code gaps.
Why use it?
It finds missing tasks, uncovered requirements, incorrect behavior, and differences from the planned design before the change is archived.

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

openspec-verify-change 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 7d 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.

Verify an OpenSpec implementation

Check that code actually satisfies a change's specs, tasks, and design — after implementation, before archiving — and report gaps with actionable, file-referenced recommendations.

Steps

  1. Select the change. If not given, run openspec list --json, show changes with implementation tasks, mark ones with incomplete tasks "(In Progress)", and let the user choose. Never guess.
  2. Check the schema: openspec status --change "<name>" --json.
  3. Load artifacts: openspec instructions apply --change "<name>" --json returns contextFiles (artifact ID -> paths); read everything available.
  4. Verify completeness. Tasks: parse - [ ]/- [x] in every contextFiles.tasks file; each incomplete task is CRITICAL with a recommendation ("Complete task: " or "Mark done if already implemented"). Spec coverage: for each requirement in delta specs, search the codebase for implementation evidence; an apparently-unimplemented requirement is CRITICAL ("Requirement not found: ").
  5. Verify correctness. For each requirement, search for implementation evidence and assess whether it matches intent; a divergence is WARNING with a file/line-referenced recommendation. For each scenario, check whether code and tests cover it; an uncovered scenario is WARNING.
  6. Verify coherence. If design.md exists, extract key decisions and check the implementation follows them; a contradiction is WARNING. No design.md means skipping this check and noting it. Check new code against project naming/structure/style conventions; a significant deviation is SUGGESTION.
  7. Generate the report: a summary scorecard (Completeness / Correctness / Coherence), issues grouped CRITICAL / WARNING / SUGGESTION each with a specific recommendation and file.ts:123-style references, and a final assessment — "X critical issue(s) found, fix before archiving" / "No critical issues, Y warning(s) to consider, ready for archive" / "All checks passed, ready for archive".

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.
