Dotfiles Verify

Run the repo-native verifier instead of ad-hoc checks.

Workflow

Resolve the checkout explicitly; never assume the caller's cwd:

DOTFILES_DIR="${DOTFILES_DIR:-$HOME/work/dotfiles}"
test -f "$DOTFILES_DIR/scripts/verify.sh"

1. Run the smallest useful check:
   • Quick local validation: bash "$DOTFILES_DIR/scripts/verify.sh" --quick
   • Full smoke validation: bash "$DOTFILES_DIR/scripts/verify.sh" --full
2. Read the output. Fix failures in the smallest relevant file set.
3. Re-run the same command until it passes, then report the exact command and result.

For a skill description, hook policy, script output, selection rule, or side-effect change, add a failure-derived positive and negative regression fixture before the implementation. Static parsing alone does not prove behavior; do not claim completion until the affected artifact has actually executed against both paths.

Notes

• --quick covers shell/Python syntax, ShellCheck when installed, Python unit tests, skill/plugin metadata, JSON/TOML/plist parsing, hook settings, and git diff --check.
• --full requires ShellCheck and Bats, then runs the complete Bats suite.
• Do not claim install safety without fresh verifier output or a stated validation gap.
