lh-verification SKILL.md skillA

lh-verification from jrodrigopuca/local-agents is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add jrodrigopuca/local-agents/lh-verification@v1.1

Pins v1.1 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Habits for proving claims before making them: the evidence ladder, when to verify, and how to phrase confidence honestly. Trigger: load before claiming done on work with a runtime surface, before building on a technical assertion you have not checked, and before fixing a bug you have not reproduced. Not needed for a one-line factual answer — the base context covers that.

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

The base context already says verify before agreeing, reproduce before
fixing, and falsify once. This skill is the method behind those rules.

## Critical Patterns

### 1. The evidence ladder

Every claim stands on one of these rungs. Know which one, and never phrase a
lower rung as a higher one.

| Rung | What it is | Phrase it as |
|------|------------|--------------|
| 4. Observed | You ran it and watched the actual behavior | "X works — I ran it, output was …" |
| 3. Tested | An automated check passed | "Tests pass for X" (name them) |
| 2. Read | You read the code and it looks correct | "X should work — based on reading …" |
| 1. Recalled | Memory / training / pattern-matching | "X is likely … — I haven't verified" |

Minimum rung to claim "done": **3**, and **4** whenever the change has a runtime
surface you can actually drive. Rung 2 is a hypothesis. Rung 1 is a lead.

### 2. Reproduce before fixing — the four steps

Before touching code to fix a bug:

1. Make the bug happen and capture the failure (error, wrong output, failing test)
2. Form the hypothesis of the cause
3. Apply the fix
4. Make the bug NOT happen using the exact reproduction from step 1
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jrodrigopuca/local-agents/lh-verification@sha256:8ca50cf674ad002c

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1, 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.
