verification-loop SKILL.md skillA

verification-loop from naimkatiman/continuous-improvement is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add naimkatiman/continuous-improvement/verification-loop@git:20260710.b8ed97c

Pins git:20260710.b8ed97c in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Enforces Law 4 (Verify Before Reporting) of the 7 Laws of AI Agent Discipline. A comprehensive verification system for agent coding sessions covering build, types, lint, tests, security, and diff with a PASS/FAIL report.

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

# Verification Loop Skill

A comprehensive verification system for agent coding sessions.

## When to Use

Invoke this skill:
- After completing a feature or significant code change
- Before creating a PR
- When you want to ensure quality gates pass
- After refactoring

## Verification Phases

### Phase 0: Resolve the Ladder

Every project has its own actual invocation for build / typecheck / lint / test / security / deploy-receipt. Hardcoding `npm run build` and `npm run test` works when the project happens to use those exact scripts; for everything else (pnpm, yarn, cargo, go, mise, just, custom scripts, monorepos with workspace-scoped commands) it returns "deps not installed" or "config not found" misreads from the wrong invocation. Phase 0 runs first so Phases 1–6 never have to guess.

**Run `node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/resolve-verify-ladder.mjs"`** (source: `scripts/resolve-verify-ladder.mjs`) at the repo root. It encodes the full four-step resolution priority and emits the fenced block below. Use `--json` for machine consumption.

```
$ node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/resolve-verify-ladder.mjs"
verify-ladder (resolved):

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add naimkatiman/continuous-improvement/verification-loop@sha256:97fa01e390c54117

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260710.b8ed97c, 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.
