verify-goal from cdeust/zetetic-team-subagents is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add cdeust/zetetic-team-subagents/verify-goal@git:20260917.db5f697Pins git:20260917.db5f697 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Run every acceptance criterion of a goal file as an external check, record the command, its exit code and an output excerpt per criterion, and write a per-criterion verdict into the goal''s iteration ledger. Distinct from claim verification: this judges a deliverable against its contract, never a statement against its sources.
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 Goal ## Purpose The builder must not grade its own work by re-reading it. This skill runs the checks the goal file names, as processes with exit codes, and puts their output where a fresh evaluator can read it. On a host whose native goal evaluator reads only the transcript, this output is the only evidence that evaluator will ever see. ## Procedure 1. **Read the goal file.** Refuse when status is not `active`. Refuse when a criterion row lacks a check or an expected result: send it back to the goal skill. Enforce the goal's token budget before every check, setting `exhausted` at the limit or `blocked` when a finite token limit cannot be measured. Do not start another check after either state. Use `iterations_used` for this entry; verification does not allocate another iteration, including when the current iteration is the last allowed one. 2. **Run every deterministic check**, one at a time, exactly as written in the `check` column. Capture exit code, stdout and stderr. Never edit the command to make it pass; never substitute a similar command. 3. **Compare** each result with the `expected` column. `met` when it matches, `unmet` when …

How to install
mdr add cdeust/zetetic-team-subagents/verify-goal@sha256:dc146c34e650d57fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260917.db5f697, 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.
