A skill your agent uses when independently verifying implementation claims, post-merge review, or when a reviewer needs to falsify success assertions with command-and-output evidence

  • Works in 5 steps: Identify the claim: What specific thing… → Find the falsification test: What… → Run the test: Execute the command fresh.… → …
  • Independently verifying implementation claims
  • SKILL.md covers Overview, When to Use, The Iron Law and Verification Protocol, plus 5 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Verification Reviewer is an agent skill from tctinh/agent-hive. Use when independently verifying implementation claims, post-merge review, or when a reviewer needs to falsify success assertions with command-and-output evidence

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 Development.

When your agent uses it

  • Independently verifying implementation claims
  • Post-merge review
  • A reviewer needs to falsify success assertions with command-and-output evidence

Example prompts

  • “/verification-reviewer”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify the claim: What specific thing is being asserted?
  2. Find the falsification test: What command or check would fail if the claim is wrong?
  3. Run the test: Execute the command fresh. Do not rely on cached or previous results.
  4. Record the evidence: Quote the relevant output.
  5. Verdict: Does the evidence support or contradict the claim?

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b3f11c0. 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 Reviewer loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 528 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~46
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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 528 words (~1,110 tokens).

“Verify implementation claims by attempting to falsify them. Your job is not to confirm success; it is to find where success claims break down.”
