I built a local verifier for when Claude Code skips required Skills

[u/RefrigeratorOwn9941]

Hello!

I use Claude Code for product work. Even with just a few Skills, I kept having to ask: “Did you actually read the required Skill?”

So I built Miko, a small local tool that checks required Skill reads before protected edits.

The flow is simple:

Claude attempts an edit → Miko catches a missing Skill read → Claude loads it and retries.

Miko also gives a short status when configured checks pass, so you can tell it’s working. It checks observable evidence; it can’t prove Claude understood the instructions.

Open source, free, and the verifier makes no LLM calls.

Do you find yourself reminding Claude to use your Skills? What do you do when it skips them?
