What it does

Foreman Verify is an agent skill from VisionForge-OU/foreman. Headless self-verification gate a Foreman worker runs before it claims an issue is done. Re-run the real commands, read the actual output, and only then write the FOREMAN-SUMMARY — evidence before claims, always. Used inside a foreman-tdd build session; emits no summary of its own.

Its SKILL.md is about 900 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 Testing & QA, covering Verification before completion and Test-driven development. The repository describes itself as: A Boris-style agentic orchestrator TUI that supervises headless Claude Code agents through a gated software-delivery pipeline — pointed at any repository.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Verification before completion
  • Tasks that involve Test-driven development

Example prompts

  • “/foreman-verify”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify the exact command that proves it.
  2. Run it fresh and in full — the full foreman-test suite (not just --fast),
  3. Read the whole output: exit status, failure count, the ERROR lines.
  4. Save the output as an evidence artifact under the run's evidence directory
  5. Reconcile the claim with the output. If it does not pass, the honest result is

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 92d7f79. 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

Foreman Verify loads about 901 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 472 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~74
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~901

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 472 words (~901 tokens).

“(Adapted from obra/superpowers verification-before-completion (MIT) — see NOTICE. Made headless and wired to Foreman's trust boundary: the "claim" you are gating is the foreman-tdd FOREMAN-SUMMARY block and its evidence array, and the verification commands are the project's own, run through…”
