Polaris: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/verify-spec-closure/SKILL.md

verify-spec-closure is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sponge-b0b/Polaris. It costs 31 tokens per session (2,068 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A verifier that independently checks whether a software specification has been fully satisfied at a specific version of the code. It is separate from the process that implements or repairs the specification.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to validate completed specification work, confirm semantic requirements, and reject candidates that do not meet the agreed contract.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk that the same process both fixes a candidate and declares it correct. The verifier can inspect the code and run focused checks without changing anything.

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

verify-spec-closure 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.

Verify Spec Closure

$verify-spec-closure is the fresh non-mutating independent implementation-conformance verifier dispatched by $verify-spec.

Its independence is adversarial proof independence, not semantic-authority independence.

Frozen deterministic Spec cells
        ↓
independent falsifiers / evidence
        ↓
PASS or FAIL

The verifier never reconstructs the contract from prose, ADRs, wiki pages, ticket prose, or implementation shape.

Invocation integrity

Run only in a genuinely fresh, non-mutating verifier context.

Receive from $verify-spec:

  • Spec identity and exact body/hash;
  • fixed baseline, branch, exact stable HEAD;
  • exact deterministic $spec-contract result;
  • complete ordered cells and cell_hash values;
  • exact CCL addresses for every OBL-*;
  • current valid ticket-coverage-manifest:v2 and routed tickets;
  • concise implementation/evidence pointers;
  • terminal parent technical/delegated gate results;
  • prior unresolved verifier findings on retry, when applicable.

Verify those transport identities before semantic work. Any candidate mutation during the run invalidates the attempt; emit neither PASS nor FAIL.

Do not mutate repository/tracker/Git state, invoke remediation, or delegate.

Contract boundary

The exact supplied cell universe is authoritative for this attempt:

OBL-*  material semantic contract, exact CCL addresses
IMP-*  private/mechanical implementation obligations
TEST-* explicit proof obligations
EXC-*  exclusion guardrails

Do not:

  • add/remove a cell;
  • infer hidden obligations from narrative prose;
  • rebuild a Source Unit Inventory;
  • derive ARCHSRC-* / NORM-* rows;
  • reopen architecture/Decision prose to change an OBL meaning;
  • treat implementation behavior as evidence that the contract "must have meant" more.

Contract strength is part of this boundary. A verifier may not turn an allowed state into a forbidden state merely to make a proof stronger. Required behavior remains required, forbidden behavior remains forbidden, and explicitly optional/permitted behavior must remain permitted. A TEST/EXC proof is subordinate to the exact OBL/CCL semantics it proves; it does not acquire independent authority to narrow the allowed implementation state space.

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.
