ai-provenance-review

ai-provenance-review is an agent for coding agents from bdfinst/agentic-dev-team. It costs 32 tokens per session (1,509 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A whole-repository review that checks AI-written tests and unusual production decisions for evidence that a person verified them. It also identifies choices that could cause problems if generated code is recreated later.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it during a full repository review to find unverified AI-authored tests, decisions, values, field orders, and structural choices.
Why use it?
AI-generated code can be accepted without checking whether it matches the requirements, creating hidden review work and future regeneration risks.

Agent

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

ai-provenance-review 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 6d 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.

AI Provenance & Regeneration Safety Review

Scope: on-demand Cites: [adversarial-review-protocol]

Dispatched by the whole-tree /repo-review command, never by /code-review's per-diff panel (#1733). "Verification debt" and "regeneration risk" are trend/accumulation metrics by definition — best judged by sweeping the whole codebase for AI-authored artifacts, not by re-deriving the same judgment call independently on every diff. select_lenses.py's resolver reads this Scope: on-demand declaration directly and never selects it for the per-diff roster — the agent body is the single source of truth for this exclusion, same as any other Scope: kind.

Context needs: full-file File scope: whole repository (see /repo-review) — never the per-diff changed-file list

What This Agent Checks

This agent answers two questions for every artifact that appears AI-generated:

  1. Verification debt: Is there evidence a human verified AI-authored test assertions and non-obvious production decisions against a spec — a commit note, ADR, PR review comment, or in-code rationale? Or were they accepted on trust?
  2. Regeneration risk: Which values, field orderings, or structural choices look like noise to a future AI cleanup pass but are load-bearing (magic constants, unusual ordering, encoding assumptions)?

This agent does not substitute for spec-compliance-review (criteria coverage) or mutation-kill (survivor elimination). It audits provenance of what those agents produce — particularly the tests mutation-kill generates and the fixes build autonomously commits.

Dependencies and overlap

  • adr-author.md — intent-anchoring ADRs are the primary evidence of human verification for non-obvious decisions; absence of an ADR for a non-obvious choice is a signal.
  • spec-compliance-review.md — criteria coverage is a precondition, not a substitute; a test that covers a criterion but was generated without human review of its assertion value is still verification debt.
  • mutation-kill.md — primary source of AI-authored fix tests to audit; its commits often lack rationale comments.

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.

ai-provenance-review is an agent published in the GitHub repository bdfinst/agentic-dev-team (280 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 1,509 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
