verify-task

A work-checking procedure that runs the validation tests or checks linked from an issue and reports each result.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before closing an issue or pull request, or when someone asks whether an issue is complete. It maps validation IDs to commands or CI steps and runs them.
Why use it?
It helps confirm that an issue is really finished instead of trusting its claim alone. It also shows which specific checks passed or failed.

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-task 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 2d 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 — 98 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Verify Task

Closes the loop between a work item's claimed acceptance and what's actually proven. Reads the V-* rows cited in the issue's ## Validation section (per the work-item template), looks each up in VALIDATION.md, runs the proof, reports green/red.

When to use

  • A PR is about to claim Closes #N and you want to confirm the cited validation rows are actually green.
  • A user asks "is this issue really finished?"

When NOT to use

  • For an issue that cites no V-* rows (pure-doc work). There's nothing to run.
  • As a substitute for code review.

Procedure

  1. Resolve the work item. An issue number → gh issue view <n> and pull the V-* IDs from its ## Validation section — falling back to scanning acceptance bullets for older issues that predate the template (also check any archived tasks/done/T-*.md file the issue names as its full spec). T-0037 → read tasks/T-0037-npm-prerelease-dist-tag-channel.md frontmatter directly (the one still-in-flight file-based task).

  2. Look up each V-* in VALIDATION.md. Pull the Proven by, Status, and Tracked by columns. This tells you whether the invariant is already enforced, non-blocking, CI-only, or still a declared gap.

  3. Run the proof.

    Run make verify — it covers V-typecheck, V-lint, V-unit, V-tool-registry, and V-retrieval-floor in one command (requires a populated DB). It runs bun test src/mcp-contract.test.ts without ROSETTA_REAL_DB_TESTS=1, so the real-DB blocks behind V-tool-shapes and V-tool-budget are skipped — run those separately with ROSETTA_REAL_DB_TESTS=1 bun test src/mcp-contract.test.ts against a populated DB. For CI-only invariants (V-db-min-content, V-bunx-*) there is no local equivalent; those are only proven by a release run.

    For more targeted checks, map common V-* IDs to commands:

    V-* ID Command
    V-typecheck bun run typecheck
    V-lint bun run lint
    V-unit bun test
    V-tool-registry bun test src/mcp-contract.test.ts (Block A, always runs)
    V-tool-shapes ROSETTA_REAL_DB_TESTS=1 bun test src/mcp-contract.test.ts (Block C, needs populated DB)
    V-tool-budget ROSETTA_REAL_DB_TESTS=1 bun test src/mcp-contract.test.ts (Block B, needs populated DB)
    V-retrieval-floor bun run src/eval/retrieval.ts
    V-retrieval-self bun run src/eval/self-supervised.ts
    V-canonicalize bun test src/canonicalize.test.ts src/canonicalize.fuzz.test.ts
    V-classifier bun test src/classify.test.ts
    V-schema-roundtrip bun test src/schema-roundtrip.test.ts

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.

verify-task is a skill published in the GitHub repository tikoci/rosetta (43 stars, last pushed 16d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 47 tokens to every session and 1,423 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.
