verification-loop

verification-loop is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from rexleimo/aios. It costs 32 tokens per session (1,290 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for checking claims about completed work with repeatable commands and recorded results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after changing runtime behavior, before releases, and when verifying MCP servers, installation wrappers, or browser-based smoke tests.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of saying a script, skill, server, or installation works when it has not actually been tested.

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-loop 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 3d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 133 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Verification Loop

Trigger

Use this skill when:

  • You changed runtime behavior (scripts, wrappers, MCP server, install flows)
  • You are about to say "done", "fixed", "works", or "passes"
  • You are about to bump version / release

Rules

  • Prefer commands with deterministic exit codes over "it looks fine".
  • If you cannot run verification, say exactly what you could not run and why.

Baseline Checks (AIOS)

  1. Run the verifier:

    • aios doctor
    • Or: aios doctor
    • Compatibility wrappers: scripts/verify-aios.sh / scripts/verify-aios.ps1
  2. MCP server changes (minimum):

    • cd mcp-server && npm run typecheck
    • cd mcp-server && npm run build
    • Manual smoke: chrome.launch_cdp -> browser.connect_cdp -> page.goto -> page.extract_text/page.screenshot -> browser.close
  3. Install/wrapper changes:

    • Re-run install/update on a clean-ish shell session.
    • Confirm new commands are visible and resolve to ROOTPATH scripts.

Evidence Capture

  • Record the exact commands run and whether they succeeded.
  • For failures: include the first actionable error line and the remediation you applied.

Structured Verdict Schema

Inspired by the-pair v2.0.2 quality_gate.rs: every completion claim MUST be backed by a structured verdict with exactly four sections. A verdict missing any section is an automatic REJECT — there is no partial credit.

The four required sections, in order:

  1. FILES_REVIEWED — list of files reviewed with line ranges and change status.
  2. CHECKS — typecheck, test suite, lint — each with a concrete PASS/FAIL status.
  3. CODE — the specific code snippet or issue reference, as a quoted block.
  4. VALIDATION — summary verdict: APPROVED or REJECTED, with score, complete, and missing[]. When rejected, missing feeds the next round directly, plus specific next_actions.

Mandatory format

VERDICT:
FILES_REVIEWED:
  - path/to/file.ts: lines 45-67 (changed)
CHECKS:
  - typecheck: PASS
  - test suite: PASS (8/8)
  - lint: PASS
CODE:
  > // specific snippet or issue reference
VALIDATION:
  APPROVED — score: 1.0, complete: true, missing: []
  OR
  REJECTED — score: <0-1>, complete: false,
    missing:
      - [specific gap feeding the next round]
    next_actions:
      - [specific, actionable step per gap]
