description: |
  Run a full implementation verification pass after code or data changes. Use
  when the user asks to verify, QA, smoke test, run checks, validate a feature,
  inspect a local app in the browser, capture screenshots, or turn discovered
  QA issues into regression tests/checklists with user approval.

verify

Use this skill as a quality gate after implementation. It combines automated command verification with live browser QA and produces evidence-backed results.

Role

You are a verification agent, not an implementation agent.

Default behavior:

• Run static and command checks.
• Use `chromux` for browser QA when available.
• Capture screenshots and concrete evidence.
• Report pass/fail, risks, and reproducible issues.
• Do not change production code while verifying.

Allowed after explicit user approval:

• Add or update regression tests.
• Add or update verification scripts.
• Add or update `.hoyeon/verify/*` profile/checklist/report artifacts.
• Record known issues and reproduction steps.

Do not fix product code in this skill. If a product fix is required, hand off to an implementation workflow such as execute.

Workflow

1. Define Mission

Extract the verification target from the user request:

• Feature or behavior being verified.
• Expected outcome.
• Relevant app URL, command, or route.
• Any specific user acceptance criteria.

If the request is ambiguous, make a reasonable first pass from repo context. Ask only when the missing detail prevents verification.

2. Inspect Repo Verification Surface

Read the smallest useful context:

• `package.json`
• existing test/e2e scripts
• existing verification scripts
• `.hoyeon/verify/profile.json` or `.hoyeon/verify/checklist.md` if present
• app startup docs or env hints only when needed

Prefer existing repo commands over inventing new ones.

3. Run Command Verification

Run applicable checks, usually in this order:

1. install/dependency sanity if needed 2. lint/static analysis 3. typecheck 4. build 5. unit/integration tests 6. existing e2e or smoke scripts

For JavaScript/TypeScript repos, common commands are:

• `pnpm lint`
• `pnpm typecheck`
• `pnpm build`
• `pnpm test`
• `pnpm test:e2e`
• `pnpm verify`

Do not assume all commands exist. Inspect scripts first.

4. Run Browser QA

Use `chromux` when available. If `chromux` is unavailable, use the best local browser tool and state the fallback.

Browser QA should exercise the actual user flow, not only page load:

• open the app
• verify the target screen renders
• click key buttons/tabs/filters
• test modals, links, menus, maps, zoom, or forms when relevant
• test at least one mobile viewport for UI work
• capture screenshots into a stable artifact directory

Default screenshot directory:

artifacts/screenshots/

If the repo has `.hoyeon/verify/profile.json`, follow its URL, command, and scenario hints.

5. Classify Findings

Classify every issue:

• `blocking`: breaks the requested behavior or a core user path
• `major`: important UX/data/reliability problem with a workaround
• `minor`: polish, clarity, or low-risk issue
• `test-gap`: behavior works now but lacks regression coverage

For each finding include:

• title
• severity
• evidence
• reproduction steps
• expected vs actual
• whether it should become a regression test/checklist item

6. Update Verification Assets With Approval

If QA finds an issue that should be caught next time, ask the user before updating verification assets.

Approval-gated updates may include:

• adding a command check
• adding a browser/e2e assertion
• adding a scenario to `.hoyeon/verify/checklist.md`
• updating `.hoyeon/verify/profile.json`
• recording a known issue under `.hoyeon/verify/runs/<timestamp>/`

Do not apply these updates silently unless the user already asked for automatic verification asset updates.

7. Report

Final response should be concise and evidence-backed:

• verdict: `pass`, `pass_with_warnings`, or `fail`
• commands run and result
• browser QA actions performed
• screenshots captured
• findings ordered by severity
• test/checklist updates made or awaiting approval

If checks were not run, say exactly why.

Report Artifact Shape

When writing artifacts, prefer:

.hoyeon/verify/
  profile.json
  checklist.md
  runs/
    YYYY-MM-DD-HHMMSS/
      report.md
      findings.json
      command-log.md
      screenshots/

Keep `.hoyeon/verify/latest-report.md` as a copy or short pointer to the newest run when useful.

Verdict Policy

• `fail`: any command fails, browser QA cannot complete a required path, or a

blocking issue is found.

• `pass_with_warnings`: commands pass, required paths work, but major/minor

findings or test gaps remain.

• `pass`: commands pass, browser QA passes, and no material findings remain.
