quench-challenger

quench-challenger is an agent for Claude Code from chrono-meta/forge-harness. It costs 99 tokens per session (5,163 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An analysis agent that attacks a proposed solution from several angles and then gives a specific fix direction. Its approach combines criticism, alternative ideas, and a concise prescription.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to stress-test a harness or workflow, find structural failure patterns, suggest immediate replacements, and produce a focused corrective recommendation.
Why use it?
It helps expose weaknesses that may remain hidden even when instructions appear complete, including missing completion criteria, lost features, or unclear ways to start a skill.

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

quench-challenger 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 8d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 412 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Invocation examples

Moved out of description: on 2026-08-11. They were an unquoted multi-line block whose user: / assistant: lines parsed as new YAML keys, which broke the whole frontmatter — so the declared tools: and the model: opus HARD FLOOR below it never took effect. Measured in a live session agent list: this agent showed (Tools: All tools) and the fallback description, while siblings showed exactly what they declared. Keep description: to ONE quoted line.

quench-challenger — Dedicated Attack-Prescription Synthesis Agent

Context and Background

This agent repeatedly analyzes harness structure failure patterns. Even when a SKILL.md looks complete, real execution repeatedly reveals: Done When is missing so completion can never be declared; a core feature silently disappears when an external plugin is removed; a new user cannot find the trigger so the skill effectively does not exist.

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.
