Prove that behavior works, with evidence. Use after a feature is built ("verify this", "create a verification for the toolbar") or to re-run the project's QA list before a release ("run the QA list", "release check"). Classifies each check as code, browser, or mixed; drives the product with Playwright, recording video and checkpoint screenshots; writes one report.json and renders it into a branded HTML report with a checkpoint video player. Triggers on verify, verification, "does it work…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Verify

Proof that behavior works. This spine routes; the report contract, the QA-list
conventions, and the capture method live in `references/` — load what the run needs.

## Contract (both modes)

- **Read-only toward product code.** A failed check is reported, never fixed here; hand
  it to the pe-build skill by name. The only repo write this skill ever makes is the
  user's QA list, and only when the user asks to seed or edit it.
- **Everything a run produces lands in a temp folder**: `pe-verify/<repo>/<YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM>/`
  under the system temp directory (`$TMPDIR`, else `/tmp`) — JSON, HTML, recordings,
  screenshots. Never inside the repo, never committed. Copy
  `report.json` into `.product/runs/` only on an explicit request.
- **One JSON file is the deliverable.** Never write HTML. This skill's
  `scripts/render-report.py` turns `report.json` into `report.html` beside it; validate
  first, render, then open it (`--open`) and print the path. The contract is
  `references/report-schema.md`.
- **Evidence or it is not a finding.** Every fail and flag carries a `file:line`, a
  recording timestamp, or the command that showed it.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add backnotprop/product-engineering/pe-verify@sha256:18a7611a2dfa5a97

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260826.1e70df9, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
