What it does

Verify Agent Context is an agent skill from Luligu/matterbridge. Verify which coding agent is running and that it loaded the shared Matterbridge instructions, rules and skills from AGENTS.md and .agents/. Use when the user asks to check, test or debug the agent configuration. v.1.0.4

Its SKILL.md is about 530 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 Codebase knowledge for agents and Agent instruction files. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: Matterbridge plugin manager for Matter. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to check
  • Debug the agent configuration

Example prompts

  • “/verify-agent-context”

Workflow steps

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

  1. First, report the absolute current working directory and whether you are working in a linked Git worktree or a direct folder (the main…
  2. State which agent you are (GitHub Copilot, Codex, Claude Code or Gemini / Antigravity) and, if known, the model.
  3. Confirm you have the shared instructions from AGENTS.md in context. Quote its title line, including the version.
  4. List the rule files in .agents/rules/ and, for each, say whether its content is already in your context or only reachable on demand.
  5. List the skills you discovered from .agents/skills/ and from any tool-specific folder such as .claude/skills/ or .github/skills/.
  6. Read .agents/rules/testing.instructions.md and report the version at the end of its description frontmatter to prove the file is readable.
  7. Report the result as a markdown table with the columns Item, Status, Notes.
  8. Report the context size, including the number of instructions, rules, and skills currently loaded.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 857fd9b. 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:

    • git

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

  • Network

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

Verify Agent Context loads about 525 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 278 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~60
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~525

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.

Agent configuration check

Run this check and reply with a short report. Do not modify any file.

  1. First, report the absolute current working directory and whether you are working in a linked Git worktree or a direct folder (the main checkout or a non-Git folder). Verify using git rev-parse --show-toplevel, git rev-parse --absolute-git-dir and git rev-parse --path-format=absolute --git-common-dir: different Git and common directories indicate a linked worktree; matching directories indicate the main checkout. If the folder is not a Git repository, report it as a direct non-Git folder. Report the current branch using git symbolic-ref --quiet --short HEAD; if HEAD is detached, report detached HEAD and the short commit ID from git rev-parse --short HEAD. For a non-Git folder, report the branch as not applicable. Include the repository root when it differs from the current directory, and make this location and branch information the first row of the report.
  2. State which agent you are (GitHub Copilot, Codex, Claude Code or Gemini / Antigravity) and, if known, the model.
  3. Confirm you have the shared instructions from AGENTS.md in context. Quote its title line, including the version.
  4. List the rule files in .agents/rules/ and, for each, say whether its content is already in your context or only reachable on demand.
  5. List the skills you discovered from .agents/skills/ and from any tool-specific folder such as .claude/skills/ or .github/skills/.
  6. Read .agents/rules/testing.instructions.md and report the version at the end of its description frontmatter to prove the file is readable.
  7. Report the result as a markdown table with the columns Item, Status, Notes.
  8. Report the context size, including the number of instructions, rules, and skills currently loaded.
