dekko-verify skillA

dekko-verify is agent-read markdown (skill) from aahlijia/dekko: Sanity-check a suspiciously low or zero call-graph result from dekko (get_callers, get_callees, find_usages, impacted_tests, unused) before concluding "no callers" or "dead code," or a heritage/throws-provenance result (query supertypes, query subtypes, query throws) that labels something (external) when you expect it to be in-repo. Trigger whenever such a result looks surprising given the symbol's apparent importance, before deleting/renaming a symbol based on a zero-caller result, when the rep.

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Verifying a low-confidence dekko answer

dekko's call-graph resolution is real but conditional — repeated
hands-on evaluation rounds (see this repo's own
`test-repos/reports/`) keep finding the same failure shape: a
**confident wrong answer**, not a visible error. A caller trusts "0
callers" more than it should. This skill exists to catch that before
it leads to deleting live code or missing a real impact.

## How to check

Run `dekko sanity <target>` (the `/sanity` command) first. It does the
exact comparison this skill describes — dekko's answer vs. one targeted
grep sweep, bucketed into matches / dekko-only / grep-only, with a
likely cause named for every grep-only miss — deterministically and
without you hand-rolling the grep:

```
dekko sanity <symbol>              # a get_callers result
dekko sanity <name> --usages       # a find_usages result
dekko sanity --unused <symbol>     # a `dekko unused` "dead" verdict
```

Fall back to one targeted `grep -rn <name>` (not a full re-read) only
for the heritage/throws-provenance cases below, which `sanity` doesn't
cover yet.
