AI DevKit · Enforce evidence-based completion claims — require fresh command output before reporting success. Use when completing any task, fixing a bug, finishing a phase, running tests, building, deploying, or making any "it works" claim.

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

Prove it works before saying it works.

## Hard Rules

- Do not claim completion without fresh terminal evidence from this session.
- Forbidden words in completion claims: "should", "probably", "seems to", "likely", "I believe", "I think it works". These signal unverified assertions.
- Cached, remembered, or previous-session output is not evidence. Run it again.
- A change that alters anything a user or caller sees requires a `dev-smoke` run, whatever the claim is called.

## Gate Function

Every completion claim must pass all steps in order:

0. **Classify** — Does the change alter anything a user or caller sees (CLI output, API response, UI, displayed status or state, file formats)? If yes, `dev-smoke` is required evidence alongside tests.
1. **Identify** — What command proves this claim? If multiple commands are needed, run the gate once per command.
2. **Run** — Execute the full command now. No partial runs, no skipping.
3. **Read** — Read complete output. Check exit code. Count pass/fail.
4. **Confirm** — Does the output prove the exact claim?
5. **Report** — State the result in the Report Format below.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add codeaholicguy/ai-devkit/verify@sha256:bf7e881ebe7a4e42

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.9c55339, 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.
