What it does
Verifying Results Before Claiming is an agent skill from K-Dense-AI/science-superpowers. Use when about to claim a result, effect, significance, or that an analysis reproduces, before reporting or writing it up - requires running the analysis fresh and reading the actual output first; evidence before claims always
Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k 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: Composable computational-science methodology skills for AI research agents — pre-registration over TDD. A science-domain reimplementation of Superpowers.
When your agent uses it
- About to claim a result
- That an analysis reproduces
- Before reporting
- Writing it up - requires running the analysis fresh and reading the actual output first
Example prompts
- “/verifying-results-before-claiming”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0374bdf. 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
Verifying Results Before Claiming loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 509 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 509 words (~1,489 tokens).
“Claiming a finding without fresh verification is dishonesty, not efficiency.”
