verify-before-done

verify-before-done is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Zfinix/aster. It costs 44 tokens per session (447 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A checklist for proving that a code change works before reporting it as complete. It covers running checks after the last edit and testing the behavior of applications that build or render pages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run type checks, builds, tests, HTTP probes, and neighboring regression checks after editing code.
Why use it?
A successful compilation alone may not prove that the feature behaves correctly. The guide requires failed checks to be fixed or clearly reported.

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-before-done scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 4d 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.

What it actually says

Verify before done

  1. Every code edit gets a check after the last edit. Typecheck or build at minimum (cargo check, bunx tsc --noEmit, dart analyze), tests when they exist. A check that ran before your last edit proves nothing.
  2. Verify behavior, not just compilation. For anything that serves or renders, probe the running artifact: curl -s localhost:8082/page | grep -c "expected heading" and curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" localhost:8082/page. A build that passes can still render the wrong thing.
  3. Wait by polling, never by sleeping. for i in $(seq 1 40); do curl -s localhost:8082 >/dev/null && break; sleep 0.5; done
  4. A red check means fix, not report. Name the root cause in one sentence, fix it, re-run the same command. Never end the turn on a failing check without saying so in the first sentence.
  5. Calling a failure pre-existing needs evidence. Show the same failure on untouched code, or cite what does pass ("31 tests pass; the analyzer errors are a version mismatch, present before my change").
  6. Re-verify the neighbors. After the fix, re-run the checks that passed earlier for behavior next to your change. Breaking the sticky header while fixing the alignment is the classic complaint; replaying an earlier check catches it.
  7. Report with the verdict first and the evidence inline. Write: "Fixed. 15/15 tests pass, page renders the new section." Never "should work". Either "verified by " or "unverified because ".

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.
