verify

A verification workflow for checking whether a software change actually works before calling it complete. It uses tests, type checks, builds, direct checks, or manual validation as appropriate.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after making a change to identify the behavior that must be proven, run the narrowest useful checks, and summarize what passed or remains unverified.
Why use it?
It replaces assumptions such as “it should work” with concrete evidence. Failed checks and anything that could not be tested are reported explicitly.

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 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.

What it actually says

Verify

Turn vague "it should work" claims into concrete evidence.

Workflow

  1. Identify the exact behavior that must be proven
  2. Prefer existing tests first
  3. If coverage is missing, run narrowest direct verification commands
  4. If direct automation not enough, describe manual validation steps
  5. Report only what was actually verified

Verification Order

  1. Existing tests
  2. Typecheck / build
  3. Narrow direct command checks
  4. Manual or interactive validation

Rules

  • Do not say a change is complete without evidence
  • If a check fails, include the failure clearly
  • If no realistic verification path exists, say so explicitly
  • Prefer concise evidence summaries over noisy logs

Output

  • What was verified
  • Which commands/tests were run
  • What passed
  • What failed or remains unverified
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.

verify is a skill published in the GitHub repository zereight/gitlab-mcp (1,939 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 29 tokens to every session and 222 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
