tmu 3d0fe18d6a ✨ Add verify skill for the agent loop
A project-local Agent Skill (.agents/skills/verify/SKILL.md) wraps the
correctness ladder as an on-demand procedure: run npm run test, recover by
fixing the root cause in the types (not by suppressing them), optionally run
whole-project npm run check, and commit through the hook. Exposed as
/skill:verify for pi, and read by any Agent-Skills harness from .agents/skills/.

It is a procedure, not a doc fork: it links AGENTS.md / CONTRIBUTING.md /
package.json instead of restating the rules, so there is no drift.

Agents must not start `npm run watch` -- it never returns and blocks the turn.
The skill's ladder drops watch and calls it out under "What not to run here";
AGENTS.md gains a matching guardrail.

verify Run tiny-pattern-ts's fast, offline correctness gates — `npm run test` (mandatory type check + unit suite), then an optional whole-project `npm run check` — and recover from failures without suppressing the type system. Use when verifying TypeScript/ESM changes before committing, when asked to check or run tests, or when a pre-commit hook fails.

Verify (tiny-pattern-ts)

The repo's correctness ladder. test is the gate you are responsible for; check is a whole-project confirmation; both are fast and offline. Do not pull repo-maintenance scans into the feature loop.

Procedure

  1. npm run test — type check + unit suite. This is the gate.
  2. If it fails: read the error, then fix the root cause in the types/code. Do not silence it with @ts-nocheck / @ts-ignore / oxlint-disable / an as cast (see AGENTS.md § Never do). Re-run.
  3. Optional whole-project pass: npm run check (tsc → oxlint → oxfmt → cspell). Pre-commit already runs these on staged files; check confirms the entire tree.
  4. If check flags style or format: npm run fix, then repeat from step 1.
  5. Commit normally — the pre-commit hook re-runs the staged-file checks. Never bypass a hook with git commit --no-verify.

What not to run here

  • npm run maintain (maintain:knip + maintain:outdated) — advisory scans, not correctness. Feature work must not gate on a stale dependency or an unused export; CI runs it as a non-blocking job. Run it only on an explicit maintenance / update-deps branch.
  • npm run build — emit is exercised by the CI publish job, not the dev loop.
  • npm run watch — a persistent, never-returning process (--watch) meant for a human dev loop (stop with Ctrl-C). Never run it as an agent: it blocks the turn and streams continuous output. Use npm run test for feedback instead.

The ladder (fastest → most thorough)

pre-commit (~1.3s, staged files) → npm run test (~3.5s) → npm run check (~3s, whole project).
