ha-verify

ha-verify is a skill for Claude Code from shiwenwen/hope-agent. It costs 40 tokens per session (693 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A completion-checking workflow that matches each requirement with current evidence, such as a test, observed result, code change, or generated file. It labels each requirement as proven, failed, blocked, stale, or not yet verified.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when closing development tasks or checking claimed completion. It helps choose focused tests, reviews, runtime checks, or manual checks for each requirement.
Why use it?
It prevents a passing build or a finished subtask from being mistaken for proof that the requested result works. It focuses checks on the actual requirements.

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

ha-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 — 76 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Hope Verify

Verification proves the requested behavior. It is not a list of commands and it does not decide the development order; use ha-test-strategy for that.

Build An Evidence Matrix

For each explicit requirement or completion criterion, record:

Requirement Direct evidence Status Gap
Expected behavior test, runtime observation, diff, artifact, or read-back proven / failed / blocked / unverified next useful check

Evidence must be current, attributable to the changed state, and strong enough for the requirement. A compile check cannot prove a UI interaction; a child Agent finishing cannot prove the parent outcome; a generated artifact cannot prove delivery without read-back.

Choose The Smallest Sufficient Check

Follow repository instructions first. Typical order:

  1. Inspect the final diff and state transition.
  2. Run the focused unit, fixture, command, or reproduction for the changed path.
  3. Add integration or E2E only when the contract crosses that boundary.
  4. Use manual smoke evidence for visual or environment-dependent behavior.
  5. Run full gates only when requested, required by the repository, or justified by a broad closeout.

For long background work, rely on completion injection and use status queries for snapshots. Do not busy-wait.

Interpret Results

  • Confirm the command exercised the intended case, not merely that it exited 0.
  • Record failures and skipped checks; do not reuse a result from before the last relevant edit.
  • Separate product failure from fixture, environment, credential, and external service failure.
  • Treat deterministic substitutes as substitutes, not as real external proof.
  • If evidence is indirect or missing, the requirement remains unverified.

Completion Audit

Before claiming a phase, Goal, or task complete:

  1. Re-read the actual request and named plan.
  2. Enumerate every required artifact, invariant, gate, and cleanup action.
  3. Inspect authoritative current state for each item.
  4. Confirm no required work remains and no stale status contradicts closure.
  5. State what was proven, what was not run, and any residual risk.

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.

ha-verify is a skill published in the GitHub repository shiwenwen/hope-agent (1,589 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 693 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
