## Description

Combined verification, recite (description quality via cold-read prediction) + validate (schema compliance) + review (health checks). Use as a quality gate after creating notes or as periodic maintenance. Triggers on "/verify", "/verify [note]", "verify note quality", "check note health".

## SKILL.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

## Runtime Configuration (Step 0, before any processing)

Read these files to configure domain-specific behavior:

1. **`ops/derivation-manifest.md`**, vocabulary mapping, platform hints
   - Use `vocabulary.notes` for the notes folder name
   - Use `vocabulary.note` / `vocabulary.note_plural` for note type references
   - Use `vocabulary.verify` for the process verb in output
   - Use `vocabulary.topic_map` for MOC references
   - Use `vocabulary.templates` for the templates folder path
   - Use `vocabulary.cmd_reflect` for redirect when missing connections found

2. **`ops/config.yaml`**, processing depth, verification settings
   - `processing.depth`: deep | standard | quick
   - `processing.verification.description_test`: true | false
   - `processing.verification.schema_check`: true | false
   - `processing.verification.link_check`: true | false

If these files don't exist, use universal defaults.

**Processing depth adaptation:**

| Depth | Verification Behavior |
|-------|-----------------------|
| deep | Full verification: cold-read prediction, complete schema check, exhaustive link verification, MOC coverage, orphan risk analysis, content staleness detection, bundling analysis |
| standard | Balanced: cold-read prediction, schema check, link verification, MOC coverage |
| quick | Basic: schema check, link verification only. Skip cold-read prediction and health analysis |

## EXECUTE NOW

**Target: $ARGUMENTS**

Parse immediately:
- If target contains a note name: verify that specific note
- If target contains `--handoff`: output RALPH HANDOFF block at end
- If target is "all" or "recent": verify recently created/modified notes
- If target is empty: ask which note to verify

## Anti-Shortcut Warning

Before marking verification as passed, you MUST complete ALL four categories:
