verification-suite
Plan structure validation, phase completeness checks, reference integrity verification, and artifact existence confirmation. Provides the structured verification layer ensuring GSD artifacts are well-formed and complete.
npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill verification-suite --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
- Is this plan structurally valid? (XML task format, required sections, frontmatter) - Is this phase complete? (all plans executed, summaries written, state updated) - Do all references resolve? (no broken links, missing files, stale references) - Do expected artifacts exist? (outputs from each phase are present) - Is requirements coverage at 100%? - Is the `.planning/` directory healthy? This corresponds to the original `lib/verify.cjs` module and the verification patterns in `references/verification-patterns.md`. ## Capabilities ### 1. Plan Structure Validation Validate a PLAN.md file for structural correctness: ``` Checks: [PASS] Frontmatter present with required fields (status, phase, wave, task_count) [PASS] XML task blocks present and well-formed [PASS] Each task has <task>, <context>, <acceptance_criteria> elements [PASS] Task count matches frontmatter task_count [FAIL] Task 3 missing <acceptance_criteria> element [WARN] No depends_on field in frontmatter (optional but recommended) ``` XML task format: ```xml <task id="1" title="Implement login endpoint"> <context> Build POST /api/auth/login endpoint with email/password validation. </context> <acceptance_criteria> - Endpoint

What does the verification-suite skill do?
Plan structure validation, phase completeness checks, reference integrity verification, and artifact existence confirmation. Provides the structured verification layer ensuring GSD artifacts are well-formed and complete.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill verification-suite --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From a5c-ai/babysitter, a repository with 1,642 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
