What Verify does

Verify drives the affected runtime surface of a code change to observe behavior end-to-end, providing evidence that the change works before commit. Use it before committing nontrivial changes, not for tests-only or docs-only diffs.

Verify is cataloged under Quality on DirSkills. Verify comes from a repository tagged claude-code, claude-code-system-prompts and system-prompts.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

name: verify description: Verify that a code change actually does what it's supposed to by exercising it end-to-end and observing behavior — drive the affected flow, not just tests or typecheck. Run before committing nontrivial changes; bootstraps this repo's project verify skill if none exists yet. Don't invoke it on a diff that only touches tests, docs, or other code with no runtime surface to drive (a change to product source always has one) — there's nothing to observe.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
