agentic-verify

agentic-verify is a skill for Claude Code from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. It costs 39 tokens per session (2,098 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Python testing skill that checks whether tests would catch changes made to code by deliberately creating small faulty versions of those changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after a feature or fix in a Python project that uses pytest, before declaring the work complete.
Why use it?
Passing tests alone may miss code that was accidentally removed or altered. This reports evidence of which faults the tests detect.

About the project

AAS Core is a local control plane for coding agents that lets them search a large catalogue of skills, choose a stack, validate it, and create a reproducible plan. It is used to assemble and review agent workflows through its CLI, local MCP server, catalogue, plugins, and Workbench. The catalogue add-ons provide the skills, plugins, bundles, and workflows that AAS Core helps agents select and validate.

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

agentic-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 yesterday.

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 a change

Overview

This skill checks that code Claude wrote or changed is actually tested. It defines the check before coding, runs every mutant of the changed lines with a pinned runner, and writes tests until the tests catch them. It reports which mutants were killed and which new tests fail on the old code, so the user can trust the change from evidence. Upstream source: timini/agentic-verification.

When to Use This Skill

  • Use after implementing a feature or fix in a Python/pytest project, before saying the work is done.
  • Use when the user asks whether a change is tested.
  • Use @agentic-test-audit instead to review a whole test suite rather than one change.

How It Works

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS. --base is the git revision to compare with: HEAD (default) checks uncommitted work, a branch such as main checks a whole branch. Other options go to the runner.

The goal is that the user can trust the change from evidence, without reading every line. A change is verified when the tests fail if any part of it is wrong. Passing tests alone do not show that: our study found 71% of the calls that could be deleted unnoticed sat in functions that looked well tested.

Runner

AV='uvx --from git+https://github.com/timini/[email protected]#subdirectory=runner agentic-verification'
$AV verify <project-root> --base <rev> [--budget-minutes N]
$AV replay --run <run-dir> --mutant <id> --all
$AV base-check <project-root> --base <rev> [tests...]

Pass the project root (the directory pytest runs in), not a package directory or a file. base-check runs tests against the production source as it was at --base, in a disposable copy, and lists the tests that pass now and fail there: those detect the change.

The runner works in a disposable copy and writes only to .test-suite-audit/ in the project. It needs Python 3.12+ and pytest-cov in the project's environment, plus pytest-randomly for the order check. Use a Bash timeout of the budget plus 2 minutes. The last stdout line is JSON with the verdict and report paths.

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.
