verify-patterns SKILL.md skillA

verify-patterns from aurite-ai/agent-verifier is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add aurite-ai/agent-verifier/verify-patterns@v1.0.0

Pins v1.0.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Verify AI agent patterns including loop safety, retry limits, tool consistency, context size, and graph cycle analysis. Use when asked to "verify agent patterns", "check loops", "verify tools", or "check retry limits".

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

# Agent Pattern Verification

## Purpose

Verify AI agent code for common anti-patterns that can cause infinite loops, runaway retries, tool mismatches, and context overflow. No telemetry or network calls of its own.

## When to Use

Trigger this skill when the user asks to:
- "verify agent patterns"
- "check agent loops"
- "verify tools"
- "check retry limits"
- "verify agent safety"

> **Note:** For full verification including security, quality, and language-specific checks, tell the user to say **"verify agent"**.

## Process

### Step 1: Detect Agent Framework

Identify the agent framework by checking imports in Python/TypeScript files:

| Import Pattern | Framework |
|----------------|-----------|
| `from langgraph` or `import langgraph` | LangGraph |
| `from crewai` or `import crewai` | CrewAI |
| `from autogen` or `import autogen` | AutoGen |
| `from langchain` or `import langchain` | LangChain |
| Direct `openai`/`anthropic` SDK only | Custom |

Also check for framework config files: `langgraph.json`, `crew.yaml`.

### Step 2: Locate Agent Files

Find files to analyze:

**Priority files:**
- `graph.py`, `graph.ts` - Agent workflow definitions
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add aurite-ai/agent-verifier/verify-patterns@sha256:d30e09bdc5202775

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
