What it does
Verify Gate is an agent skill from pskoett/pskoett-ai-skills. Runs project compile, test, and lint commands between implementation and quality review. Gates simplify-and-harden behind machine verification. If checks fail, routes back to implementation with diagnostics for a fix loop. If checks pass, signals ready for the quality pass. Use after any implementation work completes and before simplify-and-harden. Essential for the inner loop's verify step.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `evals/evals.json`).
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Linting and formatting and Human-in-the-loop approvals. It works with Deno.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Linting and formatting
- Tasks that involve Human-in-the-loop approvals
Example prompts
- “/verify-gate”
Requirements
- Python 3
- Node.js
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Discover Project Commands
- Run Verification
- Fix Loop
- Gate Signal
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5a836dc. 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:
cargogobunnpmpnpmdeno
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm and pnpm, 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 Gate loads about 2.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 102 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,082 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
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,082 words (~2,590 tokens).
“Machine verification gate between implementation and quality review. Runs the project's compile, test, and lint commands. If any fail, enters a fix loop. If all pass, unblocks simplify-and-harden.”
