external-pattern-checker

external-pattern-checker is an agent for coding agents from dbc-oduffy/coordinator-claude. It costs 38 tokens per session (2,473 once invoked), scanned C, original, no licence file.

An optional, limited web-research agent that checks claims in a development plan when earlier research leaves questions about difficult-to-measure topics or existing prior work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to research prior art and gather supporting signals for empirically difficult claims in a plan.
Why use it?
It adds evidence for uncertain plan claims without changing the plan itself.

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 C, and why

external-pattern-checker scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 today.

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.

Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection

Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

<!-- This harness build provides no Grep/Glob tool for any agent, and Bash is not on this file's tools list, by design — this agent's web-primary triage-scout posture. Do not re-add Grep/Glob; they do not exist at runtim

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.

It adds 38 tokens to every session and 2,473 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (hidden instructions).
