Add verify-procedure skill
New docs-tools skill for testing AsciiDoc procedures on a live system. Product-agnostic — works with any Red Hat product. verify-procedure: Execute and test AsciiDoc procedures to validate they work as written. Acts as first-line QE for documentation. - Identifies "magic steps" (commands that assume unstated prerequisites) across products: oc, kubectl, ansible-navigator, ansible-playbook, subscription-manager, dnf, ssh, sudo - Validates YAML syntax in code blocks - For Kubernetes/OpenShift resources: auto-detects oc or kubectl for dry-run validation, skips gracefully if neither available - Detects placeholders requiring user input - Confirms steps work end-to-end in sequence Script: verify_proc.rb Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# Procedure Verification Skill
12+
13+
[cite_start]This skill acts as "first-line QE" for technical documentation[cite: 54]. [cite_start]It ensures procedures are sequential, precise, and contain no "magic steps" or assumed knowledge[cite: 6, 12, 14].
14+
15+
## Core Principles
16+
17+
When verifying a procedure, the skill must enforce these standards:
18+
- [cite_start]**No Magic Steps**: Ensure every command and prerequisite is explicitly stated[cite: 6].
19+
- [cite_start]**Sequential Clarity**: Steps must be numbered and follow a logical order to prevent errors[cite: 12, 13].
20+
- [cite_start]**Live Validation**: Commands and YAML must be tested against a live system (cluster, VM, or local machine) to ensure they work end-to-end[cite: 7, 41].
21+
- [cite_start]**Verification Points**: Procedures must include steps to verify the outcome (e.g., checking status, logs, or config files).
22+
23+
## Usage
24+
25+
1. **Identify**: Find the `.adoc` file to be tested.
26+
2. **Scan**: Identify bash and YAML blocks associated with numbered steps.
27+
3. **Execute**: Use the Ruby script to run the commands on the cluster.
28+
```bash
29+
