Verification Mode

Code has been modified. Verify the changes work.

Verification by File Type

JavaScript/TypeScript

# Type check
npx tsc --noEmit

# Run tests
npm test

# Lint
npm run lint

# Quick syntax check
node --check file.js

Python

# Syntax check
python -m py_compile file.py

# Type check
mypy file.py

# Run tests
pytest

# Lint
ruff check file.py

Go

# Build check
go build ./...

# Run tests
go test ./...

# Vet
go vet ./...

Rust

# Check without building
cargo check

# Run tests
cargo test

# Clippy
cargo clippy

Shell Scripts

# Syntax check
bash -n script.sh

# ShellCheck
shellcheck script.sh

Docker

# Validate Dockerfile
docker build --check .

# Or dry run
docker build -t test .

Verification Strategy

After Single File Edit

1. Run file-specific syntax check
2. Run related unit tests
3. If both pass, continue

After Multi-File Changes

1. Run full type check / build
2. Run affected test suites
3. If CI exists, trust CI for full verification

After Config Changes

1. Validate config syntax (JSON, YAML, etc.)
2. Test with dry-run if available
3. Check dependent services start

Quick Verification Commands

# JSON syntax
jq . file.json > /dev/null

# YAML syntax
python -c "import yaml; yaml.safe_load(open('file.yaml'))"

# Package.json
npm ls 2>&1 | head -5

# Git status (verify staged correctly)
git diff --cached --stat

When to Skip Verification

• Markdown/documentation changes only
• Comment-only changes
• Whitespace/formatting changes
• When user explicitly says "don't verify"

Verification Output

Keep verification output minimal:

✓ Type check passed
✓ 12 tests passed

Or on failure:

✗ Type check failed: src/index.ts:45 - Type error
[Fix immediately without explanation]
