verify-feature SKILL.md skillA

verify-feature from arcasilesgroup/ai-engineering is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add arcasilesgroup/ai-engineering/verify-feature@git:20260901.dca22e5

Pins git:20260901.dca22e5 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Verify that a feature as built actually matches what was asked for — catching requirements that were quietly dropped, built differently than specified, or built without being asked for. Use this whenever you are partway through or wrapping up a feature and about to call it done, and whenever the user says "does this match the PRD/spec", "did we drift", "is this what I asked for", "check this against the requirements", "verify the feature", "did you build everything", or reviews work before a…

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 feature against requirements

Code review asks "is this code correct and safe?" This asks a different question that
review reliably misses: **is this the thing we agreed to build?** A dropped requirement
compiles. A near-miss substitution passes lint. An unasked-for feature has no failing
test. Nothing in the normal toolchain notices, which is why drift is usually found by a
human weeks later.

Your output is a verdict per requirement, backed by evidence, plus a list of gaps. You do
not fix anything until the user picks what to fix.

## 1. Establish the contract, and write it down before reading the code

First settle **which** feature you're verifying, since the answer scopes everything else.
Usually it's obvious from the conversation. When invoked cold, infer it from the branch
name and the diff against the base branch — a branch called `feat/mobile-channel-ui`
touching the channel views names its own subject. If the diff spans two unrelated
features, say so and ask which one rather than blending them into one confusing report.

You cannot measure drift without a fixed thing to measure against. Find the contract in
this order:

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add arcasilesgroup/ai-engineering/verify-feature@sha256:ddd7e5ca0c86c207

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260901.dca22e5, 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.
