Unified verification engine for Python data science projects. Covers environment checks, type checking, linting, tests, security scans, code review with DS anti-patterns, and notebook checks. Commands (/verify, /quality-gate) invoke different subsets of this skill.

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

# Verification Loop

The single source of truth for all code checks. Commands invoke specific phases:
- `/verify` → Phases 1-4 (does my code work?)
- `/quality-gate` → Phases 1-4 + Phase 6 (safe to push?)

Phase 5 (code review) runs when the user asks for a code review directly.

## When to Activate

- After completing a feature or significant code change
- Before creating an MR/PR
- After refactoring
- When the user says "verify", "review", "check", or "quality gate"

## Phases

Read `skills/phases.md` for all 7 phases with exact commands, the code review checklist, and the output format.

## Behavioral Rules

Read `guidelines.md` for verdict rules, coverage targets, and escalation criteria.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add benkapner/claude-code-basecamp/verification-loop@sha256:c6ec976cd0bc76b4

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, 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.
