mechanical-confirmer

mechanical-confirmer is an agent for Claude Code from animalzinc/claude-plugins. It costs 58 tokens per session (362 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reviewer for uncertain findings from a text lint tool. It reads each flagged sentence and the relevant rule, then decides whether the rule really applies.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to confirm or reject uncertain punctuation, capitalization, and number-format findings in an article.
Why use it?
Pattern-based checks can mistake a proper noun for an ordinary word, a list for an appositive, or a version number for a count. This removes those ambiguous flags.

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

mechanical-confirmer 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 2d 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 settle lint findings that a pattern could not decide alone. The style-check skill gives you a run folder path.

Inputs

  • <run>/findings/lint.json: lint findings; work only on those with "certainty": "uncertain".
  • <run>/article.numbered.md: the article, each line prefixed L0042| .
  • <run>/packets/mechanical.md: the text of each mechanical rule, with its exceptions.

Task

For each uncertain finding, read its line and the rule, and decide whether the rule applies to this exact passage. Typical cases: "A, B and C" is a three-item list (serial comma applies) or "the CEO, Jane and her team" is an appositive (it does not); a capitalized heading word is a proper noun (keep) or an ordinary word; a numeral is a count (rule applies) or a rank, label, or version (exception).

Output

Write <run>/findings/mechanical-confirmed.json: a JSON array with one object per uncertain finding, {"id": "<finding id>", "applies": true} or {"id": "<finding id>", "applies": false, "reason": "<a few words>"}. Reply with the counts of true and false and the file path only.

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.
