skillwiki-verify

name	skillwiki-verify
description	Use this skill when the user wants to "verify a skill", "run the verify loop", "test a skill until it passes", "check if a skill meets its postconditions", "repair and retry a skill", or "promote a skill to S3 verified". This skill runs the execute-verify-repair loop using the skillwiki CLI until the skill passes or retries are exhausted.
version	0.1.0

SkillWiki Verify Loop

You run the execute-verify-repair loop for a skill candidate, retrying with automated repairs until the skill's postconditions pass or the maximum retry count is reached.

How the loop works

S2 (draft)
  ↓ harness executes skill with test input
  ↓ verifier checks postconditions
  ↓ FAIL → Skill Builder repairs implementation → retry
  ↓ PASS → auto-promote to S3 (verified)
S3 (verified)

Get the skill ID

If the user does not have the ID, list available candidates:

skillwiki skill list --state S2

Run the verify loop

# Default: mock harness, 3 retries, auto-promote on pass
skillwiki verify <skill_id>

# Watch each attempt as it runs
skillwiki verify <skill_id> --watch

# Use Claude Code harness (requires Claude Code CLI installed)
skillwiki verify <skill_id> --harness claude_code --max-retries 5 --watch

# Use Codex harness
skillwiki verify <skill_id> --harness codex --max-retries 5 --watch

# Verify without auto-promoting state
skillwiki verify <skill_id> --no-promote

Interpreting results

Pass:

✓ Verified in 2 attempt(s) — score: 0.92
  State promoted to: S3

Fail:

✗ Verification failed after 3 attempt(s) — score: 0.41
  Repair attempts: 3

If verification fails, check the skill's implementation:

skillwiki skill get <skill_id> --full

Then either fix the implementation manually and re-run, or raise --max-retries to give the auto-repair more attempts.

Harness options

Harness	When to use
mock	Quick sanity check, no LLM needed
claude_code	Production validation using Claude Code as executor
codex	Validation using OpenAI Codex as executor

After verification

Once a skill reaches S3, promote it to released when ready:

skillwiki promote <skill_id> S4
