What it does

Verify This is an agent skill from cursor/plugins, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Verify a claim with fresh local evidence: restate it falsifiably, capture baseline and treatment, compare artifacts, and return VERIFIED, NOT VERIFIED, or INCONCLUSIVE.

Its SKILL.md is about 690 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Cursor plugin specification and official plugins.

Example prompts

  • “/verify-this”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Restate the claim in falsifiable form: condition, metric, and threshold.
  2. Pick the smallest local surface that can disprove it.
  3. Capture a baseline from the old state: merge base, parent commit, failing branch, or current broken repro.
  4. Capture treatment from the changed state with the same command, data, warmup, and environment.
  5. Compare raw artifacts: numbers, screenshots, terminal transcripts, HTTP responses, profiles, heap snapshots, or test output.
  6. Return exactly one verdict: VERIFIED, NOT VERIFIED, or INCONCLUSIVE.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9f451cf. 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 This loads about 693 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 313 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~45
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~693

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 313 words (~693 tokens).

“Verification is not a recap. It proves or disproves a specific claim with repeatable evidence.”
