What it does

Verify Document is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. Check whether a document (PDF or image) shows signs of tampering or forgery before you rely on it. Use when the user asks to verify a payslip, invoice, bank statement, ID document, contract, or any document where authenticity matters.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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 Documents & Office, covering Forms and invoices. The repository describes itself as: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to verify a payslip
  • Any document where authenticity matters

Example prompts

  • “/verify-document”

Requirements

  • A credential in STIPPLE_API_KEY

Workflow steps

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

  1. Get the document. URL or local file path (PDF, PNG, JPEG, BMP, TIFF).
  2. Optionally check the cache first. If the user has the file's SHA-256, check whether it's already been inspected (free)
  3. Run verification. POST the document
  4. Interpret the response. Two independent axes — read both
  5. Report honestly. This is a signal with evidence, not a verdict
  6. Pair with related checks. For identity documents, follow with a 100-point identity check (/v1/identity-check). For extraction, use…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ec02547. 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:

    • curl

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • stipple.sh

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • STIPPLE_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Verify Document loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 416 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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.

Document Verification

Inspect a document for forensic authenticity signals — not a fraud verdict, but a risk band with the evidence behind it. Uses the Stipple API (free anonymous tier, no signup).

When to use

  • Before onboarding a tenant, contractor, or employee from uploaded documents
  • Before paying an invoice that arrived by email
  • Before relying on a bank statement, payslip, or certificate in any workflow
  • Reviewing documents in due diligence, claims processing, or loan applications

Instructions

  1. Get the document. URL or local file path (PDF, PNG, JPEG, BMP, TIFF).

  2. Optionally check the cache first. If the user has the file's SHA-256, check whether it's already been inspected (free):

    bash
    curl "https://www.stipple.sh/v1/warrants/check?sha256=<hash>"
  3. Run verification. POST the document:

    bash
    curl -X POST https://www.stipple.sh/v1/warrants \
      -F "file=@payslip.pdf" \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer $STIPPLE_API_KEY"

    Add ?fresh=true to force re-inspection of a previously cached document. Add ?deep=true for deep inspection (more thorough, more credits).

  4. Interpret the response. Two independent axes — read both:

    AxisQuestion it answers
    risk_bandDoes anything look tampered? (low / medium / high)
    inspection_qualityCould the engine actually see enough to judge? (thorough / limited / poor)

    A clean phone photo of a real payslip is commonly low risk + limited quality — low coverage is not risk. Per-signal evidence includes: amount/words mismatch, font discontinuity in values, date anomalies, document label integrity, identifier checksums (ABN/ACN/TFN), table arithmetic.

  5. Report honestly. This is a signal with evidence, not a verdict:

    • "risk_band: LOW — nothing looks tampered"
    • "inspection_quality: limited — couldn't inspect everything; low coverage is NOT fraud"
    • Show the per-signal evidence for anything flagged
  6. Pair with related checks. For identity documents, follow with a 100-point identity check (/v1/identity-check). For extraction, use extract-document-data.

Output format

risk_band:           LOW — Nothing looks tampered.
inspection_quality:  limited
recommended action:  review_before_action

evidence (signals):
  [pass] Amount words/figure mismatch: Spelled-out amounts agree with figures.
  [pass] Font discontinuity in value: Numeric values share the font of surrounding text.
  [skip] Identifier checksum: No checksummable identifier (ABN/ACN/TFN) present.

Limitations and Safety

  • This workflow uploads documents to a hosted third party. Obtain explicit approval, minimize personal, financial, identity, and confidential data, and confirm the provider's current retention, residency, access, and deletion terms first.
  • Forensic signals can miss sophisticated tampering or flag benign editing, scanning, compression, and template artifacts. A low-risk result is not proof of authenticity, and a high-risk result is not proof of fraud.
  • Preserve the original bytes and use authoritative issuer verification plus a qualified human reviewer before payment, onboarding, lending, employment, disciplinary, compliance, or legal action.

Notes

  • Document types the engine recognizes (payslips, invoices, bank statements) get type-specific checks; unrecognized types get generic checks only — say so in your report
  • Identical files are cached by content hash — re-checking the same bytes returns instantly and free
  • This measures forensic integrity, not authorship style — for "was this written by AI", use AI-text detection instead
  • Anonymous free tier: shared weekly allowance. Free key at https://www.stipple.sh
