Comprehensive pre-commit and pre-PR verification. Runs the quality checks humans forget.
Without structured verification, Claude either:
The verification loop ensures every check runs, every failure is recorded, and the final state is unambiguous.
quick (default): Build + type check only. Fast feedback for iterative development.
full: Build + types + lint + tests + coverage (80% minimum). Standard pre-commit sweep.
pre-commit: Full suite + git status verification (no uncommitted changes in critical paths).
pre-pr: Full suite + security scan (secrets, debug output, credential files). Release gate.
Auto-detect from project files:
If multiple languages present, run checks for all detected languages.
Run the build command appropriate to the detected language:
tsc --noEmit or build scriptgo build ./...cmake --build or makebash -n on all .sh filesCapture all errors. Do not stop at first failure.
Language-specific type checking:
mypy with strict modetsc --noEmitRecord all type errors with file:line references.
Run linter and capture warnings/errors:
ruff check or pylinteslintgolangci-lint runclang-tidyshellcheckTreat errors as blocking. Warnings are informational only.
Run test suite with coverage:
pytest --cov --cov-report=termjest --coverage or vitest --coveragego test -cover ./...ctest or run test binariesCoverage threshold: 80% minimum for PASS verdict.
If tests exist but coverage is below threshold: FAIL with specific gap report.
If no tests exist: WARN but do not fail (legacy code exception).
Three scans:
Secrets scan: Grep staged files for:
api[_-]?key\s*[=:]\s*['\"][a-zA-Z0-9_-]{10,})password\s*[=:]\s*['\"][^'\"]{4,})token\s*[=:]\s*['\"][a-zA-Z0-9_-]{20,})Debug output scan: Grep source files for:
console.log (JavaScript/TypeScript)print( or pprint( (Python)fmt.Print (Go)std::cout (C++)Credential files: Check for staged:
.env, .env.local, .env.productioncredentials.json, secrets.json*.pem, *.key, id_rsa, id_ed25519VERIFICATION REPORT
Mode: [quick|full|pre-commit|pre-pr]
Timestamp: [ISO 8601]
Language(s): [detected languages]
Phase Results:
[✓] Build .................... PASS
[✓] Type Check ............... PASS
[✓] Lint ..................... PASS (full+ only)
[✗] Test Suite ............... FAIL: 3 tests failing
[✓] Coverage (80% min) ....... PASS: 87%
[✓] Security Scan ............ PASS (pre-pr only)
Verdict: NOT READY
Blocking Issues:
1. test_auth.py::test_login_flow - AssertionError at line 45
2. test_auth.py::test_logout - KeyError: 'session_id'
3. test_api.py::test_rate_limit - Timeout after 5s
quick: After each significant edit, before committing. Fast iteration.
full: Before git commit. Ensures local quality bar.
pre-commit: In pre-commit hook (optional). Prevents broken commits.
pre-pr: Before git push or creating PR. Release gate.
Do not skip phases when they fail. Collect all failures before reporting.
Do not treat warnings as errors unless the project has a zero-warning policy.
Do not run full verification in a tight loop. Use quick mode for iteration.
Do not fix issues during verification. This is read-only assessment. Report and exit.
Verification-loop is manual/command-driven (/verify). Hooks are automatic/event-driven (PostToolUse).
Hooks catch issues immediately during editing. Verification-loop catches issues comprehensively before PR.
Both are needed. Hooks prevent introduction. Verification confirms absence.
