What it does
Dr Verify Outcome is an agent skill from AHepi/DeepReason. Prove a DeepReason fix against its GOAL.md success criterion, optionally with one guarded live run, and record the honest outcome in VERIFY.md. Use after dr-implement-fix.
Its SKILL.md is about 900 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The licence is MIT.
Example prompts
- “/dr-verify-outcome”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Criterion command. Run GOAL.md's success command verbatim.
- Historical roots. If the fix changed a reader/validator, re-run
- Live run (only if GOAL.md demands live proof). At most ONE
- Know what a live run can and cannot prove. Model behavior is
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9607fba. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
git
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Dr Verify Outcome loads about 896 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 47 tokens; SKILL.md has 467 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- Prove a DeepReason fix against its GOAL.md success criterion, optionally with one guarded live run, and record the honest outcome in VERIFY.md. Use after dr-implement-fix.
Verify the outcome
Input: GOAL.md's machine-decidable success criterion + the pushed fix. Output: VERIFY.md with verdict PASS or FAIL. You verify; you do not patch. Any new code change belongs to a fresh cycle through the orchestrator.
Ladder of proof (ascend only as far as the goal requires)
- Criterion command. Run GOAL.md's success command verbatim. Paste output.
- Historical roots. If the fix changed a reader/validator, re-run
verify_rootagainst the committed roots that showed the defect AND one known-good root: the target violations must disappear, everything else must be unchanged. List remaining violations by class — do not summarize them away. - Live run (only if GOAL.md demands live proof). At most ONE
attempt, fully guarded:
- Preflight: env file present,
deepreasonimportable, run identity free (retire + commit rename first if occupied). - Launch detached from the ladder's own directory:
setsid nohup ./<ladder>.sh & disown. - Arm rollback insurance: the snapshot loop (commit+push the
experiment dir every ~5 min) and a monitor on
progress.jsonlstate/phase + the driver log'src=lines, alerting on both success AND failure signatures. - Judge only typed outcomes: run state, stop_reason, audit JSON,
verify_root, FINDINGS.md. Model prose is not verification.
- Preflight: env file present,
- Know what a live run can and cannot prove. Model behavior is stochastic across identically-configured runs (a capability channel used in one attempt may go unused in the next). A live attempt that never reaches the fixed path is INCONCLUSIVE for that path — say so; the offline regression remains the proof of correctness. Do not burn repeated live attempts chasing a stochastic path: one relaunch maximum, then record the residue.

VERIFY.md template
# Verification
Criterion command + output: <pasted>
Historical roots re-checked: <root -> before/after violation classes>
Live attempt (if any): <run id, typed stop, tokens, one-line audit>
Verdict: PASS | FAIL | PASS-offline/INCONCLUSIVE-live
Residue (honest): <what remains unproven or parked, or "none">
Errata: <docs/ERRATA.md entry id(s) added, or "errata: none">Closing the tranche (on PASS)
- Append a dated segment to the experiment's RESULTS.md: what was observed, what was fixed, what the record now shows, and the honest residue. "Accepted does not mean true"; never claim more than the record shows.
- Errata check — mandatory, before VERIFY.md is committed. Did this
tranche find any committed document's claim (a handover, a map
document, a RESULTS.md, a spec, CLAUDE.md — anything docs/ERRATA.md
covers) to be wrong? If yes, the
docs/ERRATA.mdentry lands in the SAME commit as VERIFY.md. If no, state "errata: none" explicitly in VERIFY.md's Errata line — the same state-not-silence pattern this template already uses for Residue: an omitted line is ambiguous, an explicit "none" is not. - Commit and push everything; confirm
git statusis clean and the branch head is on the remote. - Report: verdict, evidence pointers, PARKED.md contents as candidate next tranches.
On FAIL: append the failure evidence to DIAGNOSIS.md, commit, and return to the orchestrator (route: dr-diagnose). Never patch from inside this skill.
