@codacy/verity-cli

CLI for Verity — a compounding quality system for AI-generated code.

Install

npm install -g @codacy/verity-cli
cd your-project
verity init

Then open the project in Claude Code and run /verity-setup.

Permission denied?

If npm install -g fails with EACCES, your npm global directory needs fixing:

mkdir -p ~/.npm-global
npm config set prefix ~/.npm-global
echo 'export PATH=~/.npm-global/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.zshrc  # or ~/.bashrc
source ~/.zshrc
npm install -g @codacy/verity-cli

Upgrade

npm install -g @codacy/verity-cli@latest

Existing projects keep working — new compound features (knowledge extraction, graph memory, pre-work injection) activate automatically.

Coming from GATE.md (@codacy/gate-cli)?

GATE.md is now Verity. One-time switch:

npm rm -g @codacy/gate-cli
npm install -g @codacy/verity-cli
verity init   # per project — moves .gate→.verity, keeps your token, Standard & memory

No re-setup needed: your token, Standard, and run history all carry over.

How it works

Prompt → inject knowledge → Agent works → verity analyze → reviewer + knowledge → PASS/FAIL
                                              ↓
                                     extract learnings → .verity/memory/ (graph)
                                              ↓
                                     next prompt starts smarter

The quality gate catches problems. The knowledge system prevents them from recurring. Every analysis run teaches the next one.

Requires Node.js 20+.
