What is Verify Code Change?
Verify Code Change is an Openclaw Skills utility that runs your application's test or verification command after code edits and checks whether the result matches expectations.
It is built for fast, repeatable regression checks: it enforces a timeout, captures detailed logs and stack traces, and surfaces a clear pass/fail/timeout outcome so developers can validate changes locally or wire the same behavior into CI/CD and pre-commit workflows.
Verify Code Change Use Cases
- After bug fixes or refactors when you need a quick regression check.
- Before committing or pushing changes to confirm the suite still passes.
- In CI/CD pipelines to automate build or test verification.
- When a command might hang and you need timeout protection.
- When you need full failure context, including logs and stack traces.
- Across JavaScript, Python, Rust, Go, Java, or custom command workflows.
How Verify Code Change Works
- Provide a
test_commandplus optionalexpected_behaviorandtimeoutvalues. - The script runs from the project root and launches the command with Python 3.11+,
asyncio, andsubprocess. - It streams execution logs while monitoring the process for hangs or excessive runtime.
- It evaluates the command result and any expected behavior checks to decide pass, fail, or timeout.
- It prints a success message, an error with stack trace, or a timeout warning for downstream automation.
Verify Code Change Setup
- Make sure you are in the project root directory.
- Use Python 3.11 or later; the skill relies on the standard library
asyncioandsubprocessmodules. - Run the verification helper with the test command you want to check.
python scripts/verify_code.py --test-command "npm test"
python scripts/verify_code.py --test-command "python -m pytest" --timeout 120
python scripts/verify_code.py --test-command "cargo test" --expected-behavior "All tests passed"
- Increase
--timeoutfor slower suites and set--expected-behaviorwhen you want a human-readable success target. - Add the command to CI/CD or a pre-commit hook so Openclaw Skills can verify changes automatically before merge.
Verify Code Change Data Schema & Taxonomy
Openclaw Skills uses a command-centric verification schema: one command in, one execution result out. The skill does not define persistent databases or generated artifact files; outputs are emitted to stdout/stderr and can be captured by your terminal, CI logs, or report collectors.
| Schema element | Type | Required | Purpose | Default |
|---|---|---|---|---|
test_command |
string | Yes | Command to execute for verification | None |
expected_behavior |
string | No | Optional human-readable success criteria | Empty |
timeout |
integer (seconds) | No | Maximum runtime before aborting the process | 60 |
execution_log |
text | Emitted | Detailed runtime output from the command | N/A |
result_status |
enum | Emitted | One of test passed, test failed, or timeout |
N/A |
error_trace |
text | Emitted on failure | Full stack trace and error details | N/A |
Supported command taxonomy:
- JavaScript:
npm test,jest,mocha,vitest - Python:
pytest,unittest - Rust:
cargo test - Go:
go test - Java:
mvn test - Custom: any executable verification command
Verify Code Change Advanced Features
Openclaw Skills power features make this verifier useful in both local development and automation-heavy workflows.
- Timeout enforcement prevents hung tests from blocking your workflow.
- Result parsing turns raw process output into clear pass, fail, and timeout states.
- Full error capture includes stack traces to speed up debugging.
- Broad framework support covers JavaScript, Python, Rust, Go, Java, and custom commands.
- CI/CD integration lets you gate merges and deployments on verification outcomes.
- Pre-commit compatibility helps catch regressions before code is pushed.
- Detailed execution logs make it easier to review failures in code review or automated reports.
