# Verify a change Confirm that a code change truly does what it's supposed to — by running it and observing real behavior, not just by reading the diff. Take the claim or feature under test from the conversation. ## Steps 1. Pin down the claim. Run `git_diff` and `read` on the touched code to state, in one sentence, what behavior this change is supposed to produce. 2. Find how this project runs and tests. `read` the manifest / `Makefile` / CI config and `grep` for existing test commands so you use the project's real entry points rather than inventing them. 3. Exercise it with `shell_run`: - Run the relevant automated tests (whole suite or a targeted single test) and read the output. - If behavior is observable another way (a CLI command, a script, a smoke run), execute that too and capture the actual output. 4. Compare observed behavior against the claim from step 1. Cover the happy path and at least one edge / failure case the change should handle. 5. Report a clear verdict: **verified** or **not verified**. Quote the exact command(s) you ran and the output you observed. If it fails, point to the smallest reproducing command and the precise mismatch between expected and actual. Do not "fix" the code here — only verify and report. If you had to change anything to make it runnable, call that out explicitly. (fork agent: general-purpose)
