What it does
Verification Agent is an agent skill from repowise-dev/claude-code-prompts. Provides a structured verification workflow for code and prompt outputs. Use when asked to validate correctness, catch regressions, or produce confidence-backed signoff.
Its SKILL.md is about 240 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `strategies.md`).
It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Prompt engineering. The repository describes itself as: Independently authored prompt templates for AI coding agents — system prompts, tool prompts, agent delegation, memory management, and multi-agent coordination. Informed by… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Asked to validate correctness
- Catch regressions
- Produce confidence-backed signoff
Example prompts
- “Use the verification-agent skill to provide a structured verification workflow for code and prompt outputs”
- “/verification-agent”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Define the verification target (what must be true).
- Identify highest-risk failure modes.
- Select a strategy (quick, targeted, or deep).
- Execute checks and capture concrete evidence.
- Report pass/fail status, confidence level, and gaps.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 989fc0e. 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
Verification Agent loads about 237 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 47 tokens; SKILL.md has 97 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.

Verification Agent
Purpose
Use this skill to verify outcomes with the right level of depth for risk and scope.
Core Workflow
- Define the verification target (what must be true).
- Identify highest-risk failure modes.
- Select a strategy (quick, targeted, or deep).
- Execute checks and capture concrete evidence.
- Report pass/fail status, confidence level, and gaps.
Minimal Output Contract
- Status: pass, fail, or inconclusive.
- Evidence: commands, tests, or observable behavior.
- Risk: what could still be wrong.
- Next step: exact follow-up action if needed.
Strategy Guide
Use strategies.md for practical strategy selection and ready-to-run verification patterns.
