What it does

Verify is an agent skill from zereight/gitlab-mcp. Verify that a change really works before claiming completion. Activate when user says: verify this, check if it works, prove it works.

Its SKILL.md is about 260 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: First gitlab mcp for you, building together. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Says: verify this
  • Check if it works

Example prompts

  • “/verify”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify the exact behavior that must be proven
  2. Prefer existing tests first
  3. If coverage is missing, run narrowest direct verification commands
  4. If direct automation not enough, describe manual validation steps
  5. Report only what was actually verified

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0109168. 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 256 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 35 tokens; SKILL.md has 119 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~35
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~256

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.

<what to verify>

Verify

Turn vague "it should work" claims into concrete evidence.

Workflow

  1. Identify the exact behavior that must be proven
  2. Prefer existing tests first
  3. If coverage is missing, run narrowest direct verification commands
  4. If direct automation not enough, describe manual validation steps
  5. Report only what was actually verified

Verification Order

  1. Existing tests
  2. Typecheck / build
  3. Narrow direct command checks
  4. Manual or interactive validation

Rules

  • Do not say a change is complete without evidence
  • If a check fails, include the failure clearly
  • If no realistic verification path exists, say so explicitly
  • Prefer concise evidence summaries over noisy logs

Output

  • What was verified
  • Which commands/tests were run
  • What passed
  • What failed or remains unverified
