snyk-ls: Skill for Cursor

.cursor/skills/verification/SKILL.md

verification is a skill for Cursor from snyk/snyk-ls. It costs 52 tokens per session (2,163 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A detailed review process for checking code changes before they are committed or after implementation. It traces how the code runs and checks for behavior changes, code problems, security issues, tests, and review feedback.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review changed code, investigate GitHub pull-request feedback, run security checks, and check test coverage before committing.
Why use it?
It helps find mistakes or unintended effects that ordinary tests may miss. It also turns review findings into concrete fixes and test work.

Skill for Cursor

Written for Cursor: installed under .cursor/.

This is snyk/snyk-ls's own configuration. It tells Cursor how to work on snyk-ls itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything snyk-ls configures →

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 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.

Code Verification

Verify generated code in depth before committing. This skill complements the pre-commit checklist by adding semantic analysis.

When to Use

  • Before committing implementation changes
  • After completing implementation steps
  • When PR review feedback needs to be addressed
  • When explicitly asked to verify code
  • When starting a new session of an implementation plan

Verification Workflow

Copy this checklist and track progress:

Verification Progress:
- [ ] Step 1: Load project rules and standards
- [ ] Step 2: Trace code paths for modified files
- [ ] Step 3: Check for semantic changes
- [ ] Step 4: Identify code smells
- [ ] Step 5: Run security scans
- [ ] Step 6: If PR exists: trigger feedback by commenting `/review` in the PR. Wait for the bot to review. Review ALL comments in the PR feedback including the pr-review-bot comments
- [ ] Step 7: Get check results from github with gh cli. wait if necessary until the checks are complete.
- [ ] Step 8: Update implementation plan with findings
- [ ] Step 9: Fix issues (TDD REQUIRED - test first, then fix)
- [ ] Step 10: Check coverage of changed files > 80%
- [ ] Step 11: Add tests if coverage not sufficient
- [ ] Step 12: Commit changes (use commit skill for details)
- [ ] Step 13: Push changes to remote repository
- [ ] Step 14: run verification skill again

Step 1: Load Project Rules

Read and apply these project standards:

  1. .cursor/rules/general.mdc - critical rules and workflow
  2. .github/CONTRIBUTING.md - coding standards

Key rules to verify against:

  • Outside-in TDD followed
  • Minimum necessary changes
  • No workarounds or commented-out code
  • gomock used for mocking (no custom mocks)
  • Generated types used for mock responses

Step 2: Trace Code Paths

For each modified file, trace the execution flow:

  1. Identify entry points: API handlers, public functions, exported methods
  2. Follow the call chain: Map function calls through the codebase
  3. Verify dependencies: Check that all called functions exist and have correct signatures
  4. Check return paths: Ensure all code paths return appropriate values/errors

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.

verification is a skill published in the GitHub repository snyk/snyk-ls (83 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 2,163 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
