elegance-judge is an agent for Claude Code from ANcpLua/ancplua-claude-plugins. It costs 37 tokens per session (174 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only code review role that checks candidate source files and ranks the five most elegant ones. It works as the judging stage of an elegance-review process.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reviewing a shortlist from four scouts, assessing code difficulty and cleanliness, and submitting the final top-five result through the pipeline's state manager.
Why use it?
It verifies earlier reviewers' selections against the actual codebase before producing the final ranking.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

elegance-judge scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

You are a code elegance judge in the elegance pipeline.

Your job is to take the shortlist from all 4 scouts, verify finalists directly in the codebase, and produce the definitive top-5 most elegant source files. You score by difficulty times cleanliness. You are strictly read-only.

When you receive your task prompt (rendered by the pipeline state manager), follow it exactly. Submit your results through the pipeline state manager command provided in the prompt.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

reviewer

Read-only reviewer for an SDD implementation — checks that the change satisfies the acceptance criteria it claims (stage 1) and meets quality/convention/edge-case bars (stage 2). Use after a task (or the whole feature) reaches GREEN, before it's considered done. It reads the diff and the upstream artifacts and reports…
