What it does

Verify is an agent skill from PromptPartner/agentsmith. Answer "is this shippable / done?" with evidence before a commit or PR — fires on "verify", "is this done", "ready to ship?", pre-commit or pre-PR. Part of the Agentsmith harness; runs the project's verify phases and never claims "passing" without showing the output (R5).

Its SKILL.md is about 760 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: Requires command access; the fast path requires the cross-platform Agentsmith CLI.

The repository describes itself as: Universal, model-agnostic operating harness for AI agents (Claude, Codex, Gemini, …) — a lean core + work-type profiles assembled by one setup script. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “is this shippable / done?”
  • “verify”
  • “is this done”
  • “/verify”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires command access; the fast path requires the cross-platform Agentsmith CLI.

Workflow steps

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

  1. Run agentsmith verify (or the installed-project shim .agentsmith/agentsmith verify on
  2. On a failure: read the label + command it printed, explain in plain language what broke, and
  3. Report the actual pass/fail output — not a summary of intent.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b293c3a. 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.

  • Compatibility

    Requires command access; the fast path requires the cross-platform Agentsmith CLI.

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Verify loads about 761 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 368 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
~761

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.

Verify — evidence before "done"

"Verified" is not a feeling; it's output you can point at. Never claim passing without showing it (R5 + verification-before-completion).

When this fires

"verify" / "is this done / shippable / ready to merge?" / just before a commit or PR.

Runtime neutrality

The verification runner and evidence standard are client-neutral. Never infer the active agent from this skill's install path: portable canonical content may be copied into a required client adapter such as .claude/skills. Use canonical AGENTS.md when an instruction is relevant.

Fast path — if the Agentsmith CLI is available

  1. Run agentsmith verify (or the installed-project shim .agentsmith/agentsmith verify on macOS/Linux and .agentsmith\\agentsmith.cmd verify on Windows). It runs every phase in .harness/verify.conf and stops at the first failure). --list shows the phases; --only <tag> iterates just one. Add --record <directory> --tree-class <clean-clone|disposable-fixture|linked-worktree|operator-worktree> when deterministic command evidence needs a durable local receipt. The explicit class keeps a dirty operator tree from masquerading as clean-checkout evidence; clean-clone refuses a dirty tree. The destination must be new; relative paths resolve from the project target. Record mode redacts secret-shaped console and sidecar output before either is emitted.
  2. On a failure: read the label + command it printed, explain in plain language what broke, and point at that phase's line in .harness/verify.conf to fix or refine.
  3. Report the actual pass/fail output — not a summary of intent.

The v1 receipt covers deterministic commands only. Keep screenshots, videos, manual assertions, published results, and real runtime or visual checks as separately referenced artifacts. A green receipt does not satisfy an end-to-end gate that requires those observations.

Fallback — no runner or no conf

  1. Say so plainly, and look at .harness/verify.conf.example for the intended phases.
  2. Run the obvious checks for this project directly and show their output: build, test, lint, link/render check, a dry-run. For non-code work, "verify" = open the artifact and confirm it renders / the numbers reconcile / the links resolve.
  3. If nothing is wired yet, propose the phases this project needs and offer to write .harness/verify.conf — but still run the checks by hand this time.

Report

State each check and its evidence: "build ok, 42 tests green, lint clean" — with the output, not "should pass". Anything skipped is "deferred: reason", never silence.

Can I use Verify in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add PromptPartner/agentsmith --skill verify -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/verify, .gemini/skills/verify, .github/skills/verify and .opencode/skills/verify in your project.

What does Verify need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Verify is instructions for the agent only. Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires command access; the fast path requires the cross-platform Agentsmith CLI..

Does Verify access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Verify safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Verify use?

Verify is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Verify use?

About 761 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
