live-verify

live-verify is a skill for Claude Code from yash-gadodia/claude-init. It costs 96 tokens per session (785 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A bug-verification workflow that checks a fix on the running system, not only in automated tests. It first reproduces the real failure, then checks every route that can reach the changed behaviour and reads the resulting evidence.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps investigate bugs and production issues by creating a realistic failing test, applying a minimal fix, and checking the live paths and outputs.
Why use it?
It helps catch fixes that pass the test suite but fail through another user interface, API route, background job, or user role.

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

live-verify 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 24d 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 — 45 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Live verify

Green gates (types, lint, the suite) prove the code compiles and passes the tests its author wrote. They say nothing about what the author never imagined. A behavior claim is proven only by watching the behavior happen on the real surfaces.

1. Reproduce before you fix

  1. Capture the exact shape that breaks from the real system: the request body, the database row, the job payload, the API response. The shape, not a description of it.
  2. Turn it into a fixture next to the test, named for the scenario, and anonymize it while preserving structure: field presence versus absence, nesting, empty versus null. The structure is usually where the bug lives, so a tidied fixture stops reproducing it.
  3. Run the test and confirm it fails for the same reason the bug happens. A test that fails for a different reason pins nothing.
  4. Make the minimal fix and watch the test go green.

2. The live pass, run as an attack

  1. List every path that reaches the behavior: each UI surface that renders it, the API route, the CLI, background jobs and cron, any bot or webhook, and every user role that can reach it. A fix wired into one path and not its sibling is the most common way a "fixed" bug ships again.
  2. Probe each path on the running app, as the same role and database user production uses. A dev server connected as a superuser bypasses row-level security and passes code that fails in production.
  3. Attack your own rule: the boundary value and one past it, empty, null, unicode, legacy rows that predate the change, and the mirror image of whatever you guarded against.
  4. Read the artifact, not the success message: the row in the database, the rendered page (an HTTP 200 is not proof the page rendered), the message actually sent.
  5. Read the attempt, not only the answer: a job that crashes and succeeds on retry looks like a slow success. Check the logs for the probe's time window, and treat any retry as a failure until explained.
  6. Every catch becomes a failing test before its fix (section 1). Restore any state the probes changed.

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.

live-verify is a skill published in the GitHub repository yash-gadodia/claude-init (5 stars, last pushed 25d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 96 tokens to every session and 785 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-26.
