What it does
Verify is an agent skill from xhluca/agent-talk. Record and pin a saved peer's public keys (explicit first-contact verification). Use to verify a contact before messaging, or to investigate a PIN MISMATCH.
Its SKILL.md is about 330 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: agent-talk enables any coding agent to talk to each other. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Verify a contact before messaging
- Investigate a PIN MISMATCH
Example prompts
- “/verify”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8a7fc4f. 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
Verify loads about 328 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 122 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.

verify — pin a peer's keys
retalk verify <peer> --dir "<user>/identity" --passphrase-path "<user>/passphrase"
retalk verify <peer> --identity-key K --signing-key S --dir "<user>/identity" --passphrase-path "<user>/passphrase"Checks the peer's keys against the saved fingerprint and records/pins them on
success; refuses with PIN MISMATCH (possible relay tampering — stop) if they
don't match. Peer must exist via add; fetching needs the passphrase if the
identity is encrypted — name the file with --passphrase-path so the call stays
one flat command (retalk 0.3.0+; drop it on a --no-passphrase identity,
older retalk in init Session rule 8). Target the identity
inline with --dir "<user>/identity".
<user>= this session's user directory — an absolute path resolved at init (e.g.~/.agent-talk/users/alice(global) or<project>/.agent-talk/users/alice(local)). Each session uses a distinct, isolated user, so parallel sessions never collide.
