Agent skill frombacknotprop/pstack
Generate a project-local verification skill that drives your app the way a user does — any language, framework, or platform. Use for /create-verification-skill, \"make a control skill for this repo\", or when a project has no scripted way to prove UI/CLI/service behavior.
How to install create-verification-skill
npx skills add backnotprop/pstack# or add only this skill to Claude Code: copy the folder

# into
~/.claude/skills/create-verification-skill/ (all projects)

1# Create a verification skill23Every serious project needs a scripted way to drive the real app and prove behavior: launch it, exercise a feature the way a user would, and capture evidence. This skill generates that as a project-local skill (`<skills>/verify-<app>/`) tailored to the repo. `<skills>` is your harness's project skill folder: `.cursor/skills/` in Cursor, `.claude/skills/` in Claude Code, `.pi/skills/` in Pi, `.agents/skills/` in Codex, OpenCode, and others. If the repo already keeps skills in one of these, use that one. You write the generator's output for the next agent, not for a human: it will be read cold, mid-task, by an agent that has never seen the app.45## 1. Interview the repo, not the user67Answer these from the codebase and only ask the user what you cannot observe:89- **Surface:** what does a user actually touch? A web UI, a CLI/TUI, a desktop app, an API, a mobile app, a library? A repo can have several; pick the primary one and note the rest.10- **Run:** how does the app start locally? Prefer the repo's own documented dev command (package scripts, Makefile, README quickstart). Note ports, env vars, seed data, auth.11- **Drive:** how can an agent interact with it programmatically? Existing harnesses first — Playwright/Cypress specs, expect scripts, PTY helpers, curl-able endpoints, a debug port. Only then pick a generic recipe: browser/CDP for web and Electron, a tmux/PTY harness for CLI/TUI, plain HTTP for services.12…
