What this skill does
# Auto-Verify Skill (Software Engineering)
This skill suggests using `/verify` for software engineering tasks that would benefit from systematic verification.
## Design Philosophy
**Be minimal and non-eager.** Users invoke `/verify` when they want it. This skill only suggests verification in specific high-value scenarios where the user might not realize verification would help.
## When to Suggest Verification
Only suggest `/verify` when the user's question involves **ALL** of these:
1. **Significant complexity** - Not a trivial fix or simple question
2. **High risk of subtle bugs** - Async patterns, state management, security
3. **Verifiable claims** - There are specific behaviors that can be tested
### Good Candidates
**Complex code patterns with known pitfalls:**
- React hooks with async behavior (useEffect, useCallback + async)
- Debouncing/throttling implementations
- Race condition scenarios
- Caching strategies
- Authentication/authorization flows
**Security-sensitive operations:**
- Input validation and sanitization
- Token handling and session management
- Password hashing and credential storage
- Encryption/decryption implementations
- Access control and permission checks
**Complex async patterns:**
- Promise chains with error handling
- Concurrent operations with shared state
- Retry logic with backoff strategies
- Streaming and chunked data processing
- WebSocket or real-time connection handling
**Financial and critical operations:**
- Payment processing logic
- Inventory or balance calculations
- Audit logging implementations
- Data migration scripts
- Rate limiting implementations
**Architectural decisions with significant tradeoffs:**
- State management approach (Redux vs alternatives)
- Microservices vs monolith
- Database schema design
- API design patterns
**Bug investigations where the cause is uncertain:**
- "I think the bug is X but not sure"
- Intermittent failures
- Production issues with incomplete information
## When NOT to Suggest
**Do NOT suggest verification for:**
- Simple questions ("How do I center a div?")
- Trivial fixes (typos, simple renames)
- Documentation lookups
- Exploratory coding ("Let's experiment with this approach")
- Clear requirements with obvious implementation
- Time-sensitive requests
## Suggested Response Format
When you do suggest verification, be brief and non-pushy:
```
This [type of task] has some subtle edge cases that `/verify` could catch.
Would you like me to use it, or should I proceed directly?
```
**Examples:**
- "Debouncing has some cleanup gotchas. `/verify` could catch those, or I can proceed directly."
- "Token refresh flows are tricky. Want `/verify` to double-check the implementation?"
- "This architectural decision has significant tradeoffs. `/verify` would evaluate them systematically."
## Important Notes
- **Never auto-invoke** - Only suggest, let user decide
- **Acknowledge if declined** - "Got it, proceeding directly"
- **Don't repeat** - If user declines once, don't suggest again for similar questions
- **Trust the user** - They know when they want thorough verification vs quick answers

let-fate-decide
IncludedDraws the 12 Houses of the Zodiac Tarot spread to inject entropy into planning when prompts are vague, ambiguous, or casually delegated. Interprets the spread to guide next steps. Use when the user says 'let fate decide', 'YOLO', 'whatever', 'idk', or other nonchalant phrases, makes Yu-Gi-Oh references, or when you are about to arbitrarily pick between multiple reasonable approaches. Prefer over ask-questions-if-underspecified when the user's tone is casual or playful rather than precision-seeking.
