Audit an existing verification skill and feature map against source and the running app, then repair proven documentation or harness drift.

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Audit the verify skill

What it does

Maintain Verification Skill is an agent skill from get-bb/bb. Audit an existing verification skill and feature map against source and the running app, then repair proven documentation or harness drift. Use for "maintain the verification skill", "audit the verify skill", or "refresh the verification feature map".

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file.

The repository describes itself as: The agent IDE that builds itself. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Maintain the verification skill
  • Audit the verify skill
  • Refresh the verification feature map

Example prompts

  • “maintain the verification skill”
  • “audit the verify skill”
  • “refresh the verification feature map”
  • “/maintain-verification-skill”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 68a1e8b. 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

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • github.com

    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

Maintain Verification Skill loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 542 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~70
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

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.

Audit an existing verification skill and feature map against source and the running app, then repair proven documentation or harness drift. Use for "maintain the verification skill", "audit the verify skill", or "refresh the verification feature map".

Maintain a verification skill

Keep a repository's .bb/skills/verify-<app>/ usable by the next agent.

Locate and scope

Read repository instructions and the target verification skill. If several apps are plausible and the request does not identify one, ask which. If none exists, report that and point to create-verification-skill; do not invent an audit target. A request to explain maintenance does not authorize running it.

Edit only the verification skill directory, its feature map, and its owned helpers. Report product regressions separately. Do not rewrite the expected behavior to match a broken app. Preserve only explicitly requested feature subsets and real product boundaries.

Read source

Check the index against its feature files. Read each feature's source entry points and compare its recipe with current routes, labels, CLI flags, defaults, and persistence behavior. Record a concrete source citation for each suspected drift and one concise live recipe per feature. Reconcile the feature inventory against current routes, commands, settings, plugins, platform clients, and action menus. Document omitted features even when their live prerequisites are unavailable. Preserve an explicitly requested subset, but do not infer a scope limit from gaps left by an earlier generator.

Work directly unless delegation is authorized. When source review is delegated, keep browser driving with one owner and reconcile findings before editing. Concurrent reviewers must not manipulate a shared app session.

Drive the app

Follow the skill's launch and isolation rules. Run doctor before driving and after unexpected behavior. Reset a stuck UI to a known state; do not repeatedly click into a broken session. Exercise every mapped feature through its actual user entry point, even when source review finds no drift.

Record the initial state, action, observable outcome, and relevant side effect. Use fresh isolated sessions when the launch model requires them. Preserve evidence outside disposable runtime state, including failed-attempt evidence. Clean up residue from failed attempts before proceeding.

When a prerequisite is missing, record what was attempted and the prerequisite. Source inspection is not a live pass. Do not claim whole-product coverage from a feature map that deliberately covers only a subset.

Reconcile

  • Wrong documentation: correct it using source and live evidence.
  • Working behavior the harness cannot drive: repair the harness, then run the repaired recipe before accepting it.
  • Broken product behavior: report the regression and evidence; keep the expected behavior intact.
  • Missing prerequisite: mark coverage blocked and say what enables a retry.

Retry a failed setup or drive once after correcting its observed cause; stop that feature if it remains blocked and continue independent coverage.

Finish

Run final cleanup after all rechecks. Confirm owned processes and browser sessions stopped and evidence remains. Review the diff and report one outcome:

  • clean: every mapped feature has source and live coverage; no corrections.
  • changed: all mapped features have coverage and proven corrections are ready to commit.
  • blocked: coverage or verification of a correction could not finish. Report completed coverage and any useful partial corrections explicitly.

Keep transient run details outside the repo. A checked-in validation summary, when requested, names the tested source commit and scope and excludes secrets, personal data, and machine-specific paths. Commit or publish only within the user's authorization. Do not create an automation merely because an audit ran.
