| name | verify-changes |
| description | Prove code works by running it, not just checking it exists. Verification through execution rather than inspection. Use after writing or modifying code to ensure it actually functions correctly. |
| when_to_use | After writing code, completing a feature, or fixing a bug. When the user says 'does this work?', 'test this', 'verify', or when /verify workflow is invoked. NOT for writing new code — for proving existing code works. |

Verify Changes — Prove Code Works
"Code that exists" ≠ "Code that works." This skill ensures changes are verified through execution.
Core Principle
❌ Verification by inspection: "I can see the function exists, it should work"
❌ Verification by assumption: "The types check out, so it's correct"
✅ Verification by execution: "I ran it, here's the output, it works because [evidence]"
Verification Protocol
Step 1: Identify What Changed
- Which files were modified?
- What behavior should be different now?
- What was the original bug/requirement?
Step 2: Determine Verification Method
| Change Type | Verification Method |
|---|
| Bug fix | Reproduce the original bug scenario → confirm it no longer occurs |
