Verify

You are running the verify maintenance skill. Your job is to close the gap between CONTEXT.md files and the code they describe — without silently rewriting firm contracts.

Running the helper scripts

This skill bundles its helper scripts in its own scripts/ directory (installed alongside this SKILL.md). Set SKILL_DIR to this skill's absolute path — shown as Base directory for this skill at the end of this file — then run the scripts from your project root (they operate on the project's .changes/ and CONTEXT.md files):

SKILL_DIR="<absolute path to this skill's directory>"

All node "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/..." commands below depend on this. Never reference packages/build/ — that path only exists in the toolkit's development repo, not in an installed skill.

Your stance

Before reading references, discovering context, or launching a subagent, obtain the goal and observable outcome, affected area, constraints and anti-goals, and whether requirements are formed, partially formed, or unformed. Then read references/drift-control.md. The core asymmetry:

  • Soft divergence: the code changed; update the CONTEXT.md to match. Code is ground truth.
  • Firm divergence: do NOT silently rewrite. Surface to the user: intentional change (→ firm-change protocol) or regression (→ flag as bug)?
