dos-verify-done-claims — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited dos-verify-done-claims (Agent Skill) and scored it 91/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 1 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
When an AI agent says "done", "shipped", or "fixed", that is a claim, not a fact — and a claim the agent checks by re-reading its own work is consistency, not grounding. This skill replaces that self-report with a verdict from a witness the agent did not author: it shells the DOS kernel (dos verify, dos commit-audit) to confirm the claimed effect from git ancestry and the commit's actual diff. DOS is deterministic — no API key, no LLM. The verdict is git-only and offline as used here; the one exception is dos verify in a workspace that wires a CI oracle, which --no-ci suppresses (see Security & Safety Notes).
This skill adapts the DOS reference "witness-claim" pattern (anthony-chaudhary/dos-kernel) into a host-agnostic screenplay.

python -m pip install 'dos-kernel==<reviewed-version>' # provides the `dos` CLIA commit subject is forgeable (whoever wrote the message authored it); the files it touched are not (git did). dos commit-audit grades the subject against the actual diff:
dos commit-audit --workspace . HEAD --jsoncommit-audit --json prints a JSON array of audited commits (one element even for a single HEAD), so read verdict from the first element — e.g. dos commit-audit --workspace . HEAD --json | jq -r '.[0].verdict'. (Without --json the same verdict prints as a one-line text row: · OK …, ⚑ UNWITNESSED …, or · abstain ….) The verdicts are: OK (the diff backs the claim's kind), CLAIM_UNWITNESSED (the subject's claim is not evidenced by the diff — treat the "done" as unproven), or ABSTAIN. This judges the kind of change, never correctness — run the tests for that.
If the agent claims a specific plan/phase landed, confirm it from git history rather than the transcript:
dos verify --workspace . PLAN PHASE --json --no-ci--no-ci keeps the verdict git-only (see the Security note below). With --json you get the shipped and source fields. (The default text form prints SHIPPED PLAN PHASE (via grep) or NOT_SHIPPED PLAN PHASE (via none) — the same verdict, and the process exit code is non-zero when not shipped.)
Grade shipped: true by the source, because git fallback grades itself by forgeability — and forgeable evidence is exactly what this skill exists to distrust:
registry or grep-artifact — non-forgeable (a registry row, or anartefact/diff rung). This closes the claim.
grep-subject (or bare grep) — forgeable: a commit subject or bodycarried the phase token, which an agent can write without doing the work (even on an empty commit). Treat this as shipped-per-the-subject, not confirmed — corroborate it (run dos commit-audit on that commit, below) before you close.
none — no positive evidence; accept as "not shipped", not as a tool failure.Accept the agent's "done" only when Step 2/3 corroborate it. If CLAIM_UNWITNESSED or shipped: false, the work is not done regardless of how confidently the agent narrated it — send it back.
