verify-skills

verify-skills is a skill for Cursor from vraj-ai/skills. It costs 51 tokens per session (376 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A verification routine for a repository of coding-agent skills. It checks each skill's metadata and links, then runs the project's automated tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after editing a skill or before presenting a pull request as verified. It produces the validation and test summaries that can be included as evidence.
Why use it?
It provides actual command output before claiming that the repository or a pull request works. This catches broken references, invalid descriptions, routing mistakes, and test failures.

Skill for Cursor

Written for Cursor: installed under .cursor/.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is node scripts/validate-skills.mjs.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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-skills 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 5d 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.

What it actually says

Verify skills

This repository is a skill catalogue and a Node installer. Proof is the command output, not a summary of it. Run both commands from the repository root. A non-zero exit is a failure. Paste the validate-skills: line and the test summary into the PR body.

Feature map: frontmatter, cross-references.

Frontmatter and cross-references

node scripts/validate-skills.mjs

That command lints every catalogue skill and this skill:

  • frontmatter parses, with name, description, and, for catalogue skills, a semver version
  • name matches the directory
  • the description stays inside the routing budget
  • every dependencies entry names a catalogue skill
  • every relative markdown link inside a skill directory resolves
  • every skill named in route's intent table is a catalogue skill
  • the body does not invoke a retired skill name

poteto-mode, interrogate, how, architect, and ketchup are pstack skills. They are not catalogue entries, so route must not list them as its destination.

Tests

npm test

npm test runs scripts/run-tests.mjs, including the structural and routing evals.

Evidence

Keep both summaries. If either command fails, verification failed. Do not start a server. There is nothing to tear down.

Files

What ships with it

3 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.
