 You can verify the integrity of `graphql-pro` by getting its checksum and comparing it to the [published checksums](https://github.com/rmosolgo/graphql-ruby/blob/master/guides/pro/checksums).
 
-First, get the checksum:
+Include the `graphql:pro:validate` task in your `Rakefile`:
 
-```sh
-# For example, to get the checksum of graphql-pro 1.0.0:
-$ gem fetch graphql-pro -v 1.0.0 --source https://YOUR_KEY@gems.graphql.pro
-$ ruby -rdigest/sha2 -e "puts Digest::SHA512.new.hexdigest(File.read('graphql-pro-1.0.0.gem'))"
+```ruby
+# Rakefile
+require "graphql/rake_task/validate"
 ```
 
-Then, compare it to the corresponding checksum [listed on GitHub](https://github.com/rmosolgo/graphql-ruby/blob/master/guides/pro/checksums). If it the results don't match, then the gem was compromised.
+Then invoke it with a version:
+
+```
+$ bundle exec rake graphql:pro:validate[1.0.0]
+Validating graphql-pro v1.0.0
+  - Checking for graphql-pro credentials...
+    ✓ found
+  - Fetching the gem...
+    ✓ fetched
+  - Validating digest...
+    ✓ validated from GitHub
+    ✓ validated from graphql-ruby.org
+✔ graphql-pro 1.0.0 validated successfully!
