visual-verify SKILL.md skillA

visual-verify from metraton/gaia is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add metraton/gaia/visual-verify@git:20261006.f5d0899

Pins git:20261006.f5d0899 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when about to declare done on any output with a visual surface -- an HTML page, a rendered UI, a diagram, a slide, a screenshot-able view -- to confirm by looking at the rendered result instead of asserting it. Also use when asked to screenshot or visually check a page or a local file. Not for a diagram-builder deck, which is checked by its own deterministic checks.

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

# Visual Verify

Visual verification is the discipline of confirming a visual output by
rendering it and looking at the pixels, not by asserting the markup "should"
look right. When work produces something a person would see -- a page, a UI, a
diagram, a slide -- the honest check is a screenshot the agent then reads with
its own image-reading tool. An agent that ships visual output without looking
at it has not verified; it has hoped.

This skill teaches the disposition and hands you a reference implementation
(`scripts/screenshot.cjs`) as support, not as a spec. It is generic -- any HTML
or URL, any project, inside Gaia or out. For the response contract and the
`verification` block this feeds, see `agent-protocol`.

## Core principle

Three judgments shape a good visual check. Reason through each; do not follow a
fixed recipe.

- **Look, and look where it breaks.** Markup that parses is not layout that
  works. Text clips, boxes collide, a column that is fine at 1440px overflows
  at 380px, a palette that reads in light mode fails in dark. So render across
  a spread of widths (desktop down to narrow mobile) AND across the themes the
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add metraton/gaia/visual-verify@sha256:7df0e4e71392b001

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261006.f5d0899, 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.
