Skill1 starsChanged 4 months agoMITView on GitHub
Use this skill at the end of any multi-step task — one that touched several files, ran commands, or made claims about tests/builds passing. Triggers include finishing such a task, "did it actually pass", "show me what changed", "what did you actually verify", or "prove it". Do NOT use this skill for a single trivial edit (one file, no commands run) — the receipt exists to make multi-step work auditable, not to add ceremony to small changes.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
3 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Run Receipt
When this fires
Agentic work can look complete without being complete — a summary that says "tests pass" without showing the command, or a claim about behavior that was never actually executed. This skill closes that gap: after a multi-step task, produce a receipt that separates what was actually run and observed from what was merely asserted.
Protocol
- List files touched — every file created, edited, or deleted during the task, with a one-line description of the change.
- List commands run — the exact commands executed (tests, builds, linters, scripts), not a paraphrase.
- Show test/build status before → after. Run the actual before and
after states through
scripts/diff_test_runs.pywhen two test-run outputs are available, to get an accurate pass/fail delta rather than an eyeballed one. - Separate unverified claims. Anything asserted during the task that was not actually executed or checked — "this should also fix Y", "this is probably faster", "this covers the edge case too" — goes in its own section, explicitly labeled as unverified. This section is mandatory even when empty; write "None" rather than omitting it.
Hard rules
- Never report a test as passing without showing the exact command and its actual result. "Tests pass" with no command shown is not a valid receipt line.
- The unverified-claims section must always be present, even when there's nothing in it — an omitted section reads as "I checked everything," which is exactly the false confidence this skill exists to prevent.
- Don't backfill verification after the fact to make the receipt look cleaner — if something wasn't checked during the task, it belongs in Unverified, not quietly moved into Verified.
Output
## Files touched
- <path> — <what changed>
## Commands run
- `<exact command>` — <result summary>
## Test/build status
Before: <status, from actual command output>
After: <status, from actual command output>
<diff_test_runs.py output when applicable>
## Unverified claims
- <claim asserted but not actually checked>
