What it does

Verify Output Readback is an agent skill from ashutoshsinghpr7/wikiskill. After writefile, re-read the deliverable (or ls + hexdump/line-print) and re-check the last format clauses before finishing.

Its SKILL.md is about 240 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Verification before completion. The repository describes itself as: WikiSkill (arXiv:2608.27454) for Hermes Agent — self-evolving agent skills via a persistent knowledge wiki. Faithful Algorithm 1 implementation with real agent runs, isolated… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Verification before completion

Example prompts

  • “/verify-output-readback”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cdc291c. 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

Verify Output Readback loads about 241 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 37 tokens; SKILL.md has 82 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~37
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~241

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.

Verify Deliverable by Re-Reading

What passing agents did

  • After write_file, always re-read the deliverable (or ls + hexdump / line-print) to confirm exact content, line count, and absence of trailing blank lines before finishing.
  • Re-checked the last format clauses (header? separator? case? final newline?) against the spec one more time.
  • A find-secret run verified the payload was exactly data.log (8 bytes).

When to use

Any task graded by exact-match output comparison — the readback is the difference between a byte-exact pass and a silent 0.0.
