userInner Verification Loop Skill
A comprehensive verification system for Claude Code sessions.
When to Use
Invoke this skill:
- After completing a feature or significant code change
- Before creating a PR
- When you want to ensure quality gates pass
- After refactoring
Verification Phases
Phase 1: Build Verification
# Check if project builds
npm run build 2>&1 | tail -20
# OR
pnpm build 2>&1 | tail -20
If build fails, STOP and fix before continuing.
Phase 2: Type Check
# TypeScript projects
npx tsc --noEmit 2>&1 | head -30
# Python projects
pyright . 2>&1 | head -30
Report all type errors. Fix critical ones before continuing.
Phase 3: Lint Check
# JavaScript/TypeScript
npm run lint 2>&1 | head -30
# Python
ruff check . 2>&1 | head -30
Phase 4: Test Suite
# Run tests with coverage
npm run test -- --coverage 2>&1 | tail -50
# Check coverage threshold
# Target: 80% minimum
Report:
- Total tests: X
- Passed: X
- Failed: X
- Coverage: X%
Phase 5: Security Scan
# Check for secrets
grep -rn "sk-" --include="*.ts" --include="*.js" . 2>/dev/null | head -10
grep -rn "api_key" --include="*.ts" --include="*.js" . 2>/dev/null | head -10
# Check for console.log
grep -rn "console.log" --include="*.ts" --include="*.tsx" src/ 2>/dev/null | head -10
Phase 6: Diff Review
# Show what changed
git diff --stat
git diff HEAD~1 --name-only
Review each changed file for:
- Unintended changes
- Missing error handling
- Potential edge cases
Output Format
After running all phases, produce a verification report:
VERIFICATION REPORT
==================
Build: [PASS/FAIL]
Types: [PASS/FAIL] (X errors)
Lint: [PASS/FAIL] (X warnings)
Tests: [PASS/FAIL] (X/Y passed, Z% coverage)
Security: [PASS/FAIL] (X issues)
Diff: [X files changed]
Overall: [READY/NOT READY] for PR
Issues to Fix:
1. ...
2. ...
Continuous Mode
For long sessions, run verification every 15 minutes or after major changes:
Set a mental checkpoint:
- After completing each function
- After finishing a component
- Before moving to next task
Run: /verify
Integration with Hooks
This skill complements PostToolUse hooks but provides deeper verification. Hooks catch issues immediately; this skill provides comprehensive review.
