Bundled "verify" skill can become model-invocable behind a gate

Not switched on
Useful3 Signal4
Skills Notable

The bundled verify skill could be triggered by Claude itself, but for now only you can start it.

Model invocation of the verify skill is behind the tengu_opal_circuit gate, which falls back to false and is latched per session.

What

The verify skill can be invoked by Claude itself when a gate is on; in this build the gate falls back to false, so it stays user-invocable only.

Details
  • disableModelInvocation changed from a constant true to a function returning the negation of a gate read.
  • Gated on tengu_opal_circuit, fallback false when remote config gives no value.
  • The gate result is latched in new app state verifySkillRolloutGateLatch so it is read once per session.

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
