What it does

Check is an agent skill from aiblueprinthq/ai-blueprint. Check the running app, CLI, or server against the active spec's done-when criteria and capture observable pass or fail evidence without editing source. Use /check to verify real feature behavior, or /check guide [latest|scope] for a read-only manual walkthrough: how to test manually, where to click, expected and incorrect results, or a human review path.

Its SKILL.md is about 550 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `reference/guide.md` and `reference/verify.md`).

The repository describes itself as: A file-backed, spec-driven AI coding workflow framework for building real software while staying in control. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/check”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 96222b7. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Check loads about 546 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 91 tokens; SKILL.md has 248 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~91
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~546

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.

description
Check the running app, CLI, or server against the active spec's done-when criteria and capture observable pass or fail evidence without editing source. Use /check to verify real feature behavior, or /check guide [latest|scope] for a read-only manual walkthrough: how to test manually, where to click, expected and incorrect results, or a human review path.

check - verify behavior or explain how to try it

Context reuse: Reuse any required file already loaded in project instructions or the current session. Read it again only if absent, changed, or exact current bytes or line references are needed.

Select the mode before any tool call

  • /check guide or $check guide: generate a read-only manual walkthrough. Pass remaining arguments such as latest, a step, a path, route, or command to reference/guide.md. Read and follow that reference only. Do not write activity state, run checks or the app, edit files, update spec status, or produce verification receipts.
  • A natural-language request for instructions on how the user can manually test or review a change also selects guide mode. If the request mixes a guide with agent verification, clarify which mode to run first before any activity.
  • /check or $check, optionally with a verification scope: verify observed behavior against the spec. Follow verification startup below, then read and follow reference/verify.md only.

Load only the selected reference. Do not read both references preemptively. Guide generation never satisfies a verification gate. The existing qualityGates.regular.tryGuide and qualityGates.continuous.tryGuide keys now select /check guide; their policy values and automatic invocation rules are unchanged. The separate check gates continue to select verification mode.

Verification startup (verification mode only)

First action: Before project inspection, preflight, or any other tool call, publish running to blueprint/.state/run.json using the dashboard activity contract in AGENTS.md, with command check. This precedes reading the verification reference. Guide mode must skip this startup entirely.

How do I install Check in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add aiblueprinthq/ai-blueprint --skill check -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/check in aiblueprinthq/ai-blueprint) into .claude/skills/check in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Check in Codex?

Run `npx skills add aiblueprinthq/ai-blueprint --skill check -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/check in aiblueprinthq/ai-blueprint) into .agents/skills/check in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Check in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add aiblueprinthq/ai-blueprint --skill check -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/check, .gemini/skills/check, .github/skills/check and .opencode/skills/check in your project.

What does Check need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Check is instructions for the agent only.

Does Check access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Check safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Check use?

Check is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Check use?

About 546 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.2k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Check?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Check: Modeling Activation Metrics (PostHog/posthog, 40k stars), Summarize Activity (alpinejs/alpine, 32k stars), Duplicate Id Active (thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist, 74k stars) and Puzzle Activity Planner (sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, 47k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
