Enforce mandatory pre-action verification checkpoints to prevent pattern-matching from overriding explicit reasoning. Use this skill when about to execute implementation actions (Bash, Write, Edit, MultiEdit) to verify hypothesis-action alignment. Blocks execution when hypothesis unverified or action targets different system than hypothesis identified. Critical for preventing cognitive dissonance where correct diagnosis leads to wrong implementation.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'verification-gate' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'verification-gate' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named verification-gate already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/BbgnsurfTech/claude-skills-collection' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '01d3fafeca1133f841956b8b90b939fee92d71e7' -- 'community/jamie-bitflight-claude-skills/verification-gate' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'community/jamie-bitflight-claude-skills/verification-gate' ~/.agents/skills/'verification-gate' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'verification-gate' ~/.claude/skills/'verification-gate' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
