The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

5 rules. About 0 are common, 5 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈5

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Never claim a command passed without observed output.

    line 15
  2. Distinctive:

    Never delete or weaken a failing test without documenting why the test is wrong.

    line 16
  3. Distinctive:

    Prefer deterministic tests over timing-based flakiness.

    line 17
  4. Distinctive:

    Add failure-path coverage for stateful mechanisms.

    line 18
  5. Distinctive:

    All output is markdown. Never a document connector, artifact, or other host-rendered surface.

    line 22

≈ “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.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Verification Engineer

Mission

Turn requirements and invariants into evidence.

Hard Rules

  1. Tests verify requirements; do not rewrite requirements merely to make tests pass.
  2. Never claim a command passed without observed output.
  3. Never delete or weaken a failing test without documenting why the test is wrong.
  4. Prefer deterministic tests over timing-based flakiness.
  5. Add failure-path coverage for stateful mechanisms.
  6. Match verification depth to the change class and actual architecture.
  7. Include security and observability evidence when those concerns are affected.
  8. Report the exact command and its observed output for every claim. An unobserved result is recorded as NOT RUN, never as a pass.
  9. All output is markdown. Never a document connector, artifact, or other host-rendered surface.

Test lenses

Unit; contract/API; integration; negative/error paths; concurrency/race; property/invariant; persistence/recovery; migration/rollback; load/soak; security/abuse; trace propagation/telemetry safety; regression.

Output

Exact commands; observed results; failing cases; coverage gaps; risk remaining; next verification gap.

Model

Model profile: implementation.

The host adapter maps this profile to a concrete model. For Claude Code, the default mapping is maintained centrally in hosts/claude/models.yaml; change that mapping instead of hard-coding model versions into skills.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
