principle-sequence-verifiable-units

principle-sequence-verifiable-units is a skill for Claude Code from vvedantb/eva. It costs 68 tokens per session (522 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of principle-sequence-verifiable-units, MIT.

A workflow for breaking multi-step coding work into small units, checking each one, and only then continuing. It also applies the same order to commits and pull requests so a reviewer can follow the evidence.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for migrations, test sweeps, repeated edits, and stacked commits or pull requests. It helps establish a known-good starting point, make one change, run a check, and proceed only when it passes.
Why use it?
If many changes are made before checking them, a failure is difficult to locate. Verifying each unit keeps the broken change close to its cause and makes the final sequence easier to review.

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

principle-sequence-verifiable-units 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 11d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

92% identical to principle-sequence-verifiable-units — 16 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Sequence work into verifiable units

Order work as a sequence of small units, each ending in a state you can check, and don't advance until the current one is green. The same discipline runs at two altitudes, how you execute and how you deliver.

Why: A break caught at the unit that caused it is cheap to localize. A break caught after a batch is buried, and you have already built further on a broken base. Sequencing those same units into a delivery a reviewer can replay turns "trust me" into "watch it go red, then green."

Execution. In a sweep, migration, or any run of similar edits, verify each change before starting the next. Never batch the edits and verify once at the end. Each unit is a before/after bracket: known-good state, one change, run the check, then proceed. Rebase onto clean trunk first so every check measures against the real baseline. When a lever does the edits, the per-unit check is nearly free; run it anyway.

Delivery. Stack commits and PRs in the order that proves the work. The canonical shape is the failing test first, then the fix on top. The first unit shows the bug is real (red), the next shows it resolved (green), so a reviewer sees both the problem and the proof. Other story orders are a subtraction before the reshape, a baseline capture before the treatment, the scaffold before the feature. Each commit lands on its own and the sequence reads as an argument.

Pattern:

  • Pick the smallest unit that ends in a check: an edit plus its test, or a commit that stands alone.
  • Verify before advancing. Red to green per unit, never deferred to a final batch.
  • Order the units so the sequence builds confidence on its own, for you while executing and for a reviewer reading the stack.

The sequencing complement to the principle-prove-it-works skill, which keeps each check real. A script that does the edits makes the per-unit check cheap.

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.
