What it does

Lean Verification is an agent skill from epam/ai-dial-chat. Run build/lint/test/typecheck verification during implementation or before merge while minimizing token spend. Use instead of raw Nx or Vitest commands, especially during an OpenSpec task slice.

Its SKILL.md is about 560 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 Testing & QA, covering Unit testing and Linting and formatting. It works with Vitest. The repository describes itself as: A default UI for AI DIAL. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Unit testing
  • Tasks that involve Linting and formatting

Example prompts

  • “/lean-verification”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2d66a8d. 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:

    • npm

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, 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

Lean Verification loads about 563 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 249 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~53
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~563

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
Run build/lint/test/typecheck verification during implementation or before merge while minimizing token spend. Use instead of raw Nx or Vitest commands, especially during an OpenSpec task slice.

Lean verification

Use the narrowest verification tier that can disprove the current change. The scripts capture full output under tmp/agent-logs/; successful runs return a two-line status, while failures return a bounded excerpt and the log path.

Verification tiers

bash
# Red/green loop: pass one or more workspace-relative test paths.
npm run test:file -- libs/example/src/Foo.spec.ts

# Completed task or vertical slice: affected projects only.
npm run verify:changed

# Final pre-merge gate: full, non-mutating verification.
npm run verify:full
  • test:file is the default during implementation. It groups paths by their nearest Vite/Vitest config and runs only those files.
  • test:changed and verify:changed use Nx's affected project graph with origin/development as the base.
  • verify:affected remains available as an explicit affected verification alias.
  • verify:full uses lint:check, never the mutating npm run lint command.
  • build:quiet builds affected projects when the change can affect bundling.

This workspace contains many Nx projects, so affected verification narrows typecheck, lint, test, and build work to the changed projects and their affected dependents. Prefer exact tests for the mid-task loop; reserve project-level affected checks for a completed slice. A successful affected run may execute no task when only docs or agent configuration changed, so it is not a substitute for the final full gate.

Verification cadence

Batch related edits for one task-list item before re-verifying. Do not rerun a suite after each individual edit. OpenSpec tasks should name their exact test files so the red/green loop does not require rediscovery.

Failure handling

Use the printed failure excerpt first. Search or read only the relevant portion of the saved log if that excerpt is insufficient; do not load the whole log or rerun with a verbose reporter by default. Keep --reporter=minimal so passing test logs do not enter the conversation.
