Maintain a verification skill

A feature map rots the moment the app changes. This is the upkeep loop for a skill generated by create-verification-skill.

Authorized Scope

Apply this engine only within the user's requested task and existing explicit authorization. Loading or delegating to it grants no additional authority. Preserve report-only restrictions and the caller's target, host, provider, and cost limits. Existing approval satisfies a gate only for the same actions and scope; obtain approval before expanding them. Forward these limits to delegates.

Contract

Inputs:

A project-local verification skill with launch/drive sections and a feature map

Outputs:

clean, changed, or blocked, said out loud
At most one PR of proven corrections when changed

Creates/Modifies:

Only the verification skill's own directory

External Side Effects:

Starts and tears down local app instances during the live pass
Opens a PR only for changed

Confirmation Required:

Before opening the corrections PR

Delegates To:

create-verification-skill when no verify skill exists

Edit scope

Never edit product code during a run. Behavior the map describes that the app no longer does is doc drift (fix the map) or a product regression (report it).

Pass

Locate the target. Several candidates → ask which. None → stop and point at create-verification-skill.
Index hygiene. Fix missing, extra, duplicate, or dead feature entries.
Source wave. One read-only subagent per feature file, launched concurrently. Children never drive the app.
Reconcile. Merge overlapping recipes. Sweep recent churn for missing user-facing surfaces.
Live pass. Required even when source looks clean. Doctor before first drive. Evidence survives every cleanup. Nothing a drive started outlives the run.
Triage. Doc drift → fix the map. Harness gap → fix the harness. Broken app behavior → report it, keep it out of this PR.
Ship or stop. changed gets one PR of proven corrections. clean or blocked gets a report only.
