verify-gate

Runs project compile, test, and lint commands between implementation and quality review. Gates simplify-and-harden behind machine verification. If checks fail, routes back to implementation with diagnostics for a fix loop. If checks pass, signals ready for the quality pass. Use after any implementation work completes and before simplify-and-harden. Essential for the inner loop's verify step.

Quality

Content

88%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

The body is a highly actionable, well-sequenced verification workflow with explicit validation checkpoints, feedback loops, and ready-to-use output templates. Its only real costs are modest verbosity in the mcp-scripts examples and the anti-proxy passage, plus a couple of sections that would sit better in separate reference files.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Efficient and procedural with no explanation of concepts Claude already knows, but minor trimmable fat remains: three mcp-scripts YAML examples where one would suffice, and the long anti-proxy enumeration ('an iframe src is not a rendered app... an instant synthetic click...').

4 / 5

Actionability

Fully executable throughout: per-ecosystem command discovery (npm/bun/pnpm/cargo/pytest/go/deno), exit-code decision rules per phase, a fix loop with --fix-limit, config YAML, and copy-paste-ready PASSED/BLOCKED report templates.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Clear 4-step sequence with 5 ordered phases each gated on exit codes, an explicit feedback loop (fix, re-run only the failed phase), attempt counters, a 20% effort budget, and escalation to self-healing — validation checkpoints are explicit at every stage.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Single-file skill (no bundle files exist) with clear, well-ordered sections and nothing buried; however, the ~40-line mcp-scripts section and acceptance-evidence guidance could be split into reference files, keeping it short of a 5.

Description

83%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong description that clearly states concrete capabilities and an explicit use-when clause with correct third-person voice. Its main weaknesses are pipeline-internal jargon ('simplify-and-harden', 'inner loop') where natural user phrasing would serve trigger matching better.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists several concrete actions ('Runs project compile, test, and lint commands', 'routes back to implementation with diagnostics for a fix loop', 'signals ready for the quality pass') with only minor coverage gaps — custom checks and outcome acceptance from the body are absent.

4 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what ('Runs project compile, test, and lint commands...') and when ('Use after any implementation work completes and before simplify-and-harden') with a concrete trigger clause.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Good natural keywords ('compile', 'test', 'lint', 'checks fail', 'fix') but 'Gates simplify-and-harden behind machine verification' and 'inner loop's verify step' are internal jargon users would not say, and common synonyms like 'build' or 'run the tests' are missing.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Clear niche as a machine-verification gate in a defined pipeline, but the broad trigger 'after any implementation work completes' leaves minor overlap risk with a generic test-running skill.
