verify

verify is a skill for Claude Code from sliamh11/Deus. It costs 121 tokens per session (4,853 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A verification process for checking a change at the real user-facing surface and comparing it with an unchanged version.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for manual QA, bug reproduction, smoke testing, and checking acceptance criteria before handoff or committing.
Why use it?
It helps distinguish a genuine behavioural change from a demo or a result caused by unrelated conditions.

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 B, and why

verify scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 411 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Verify

A verification stands on two legs. Remove either one and it is not a verification.

  • Observation at the real surface. The claim is exercised where a user meets it, and what the software actually emitted is captured.
  • A controlled contrast. A second capture, from the unchanged state, measured identically — so the difference is attributable to the change and not to the weather.

One leg alone has a name. A treatment capture with no control is a demo. A control/treatment pair measured somewhere other than the real surface is a laboratory result about code nobody runs.

What does not count

Three substitutes, each of which feels like evidence and is not:

  1. Suites and typecheckers. They re-assert what someone already wrote down. They cannot speak to a claim nobody has encoded yet — which is precisely the claim under verification. Read a test as a specification if it helps; then go exercise the software.
  2. Calling the changed function directly. Reaching past the public boundary to invoke an internal and printing the result is a test you authored moments ago, graded by its author. The function behaved as written; reading it told you that. Nothing that ships was exercised.
  3. Narrating the diff. A description of what changed is a claim awaiting verification, never its discharge.

1. Fix the claim, and fix what would refute it

Two sentences, written before anything is measured, and not revised afterwards:

Claim. Under <condition>, at <surface>, <observable> <holds>. Refuted if. <the specific observation that would end this as a failure>.

Worked examples:

Claim: invoked with an empty --from, the CLI exits non-zero and names the flag in its message. Refuted if: it exits 0, or the message omits --from.

Claim: the twelfth request inside a minute receives 429 carrying Retry-After. Refuted if: a twelfth request succeeds, or the header is absent or unparseable.

Claim: p95 cold start on this host is at or under 400 ms across 10 trials. Refuted if: p95 exceeds 400 ms, or the trials scatter too widely to place it.

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
