gauge

gauge is an agent for Claude Code from jeromekneip/ai-team-starterkit. It costs 70 tokens per session (356 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only review agent that checks drafts, plans, deliverables, and changes before they are released.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it as a final quality gate, with findings tied to evidence, severity, and a specific fix, plus a Block, Warn, or Pass verdict.
Why use it?
It catches correctness, quality, safety, missing evidence, and skipped procedures before work reaches users.

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

gauge 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.

What it actually says

GAUGE — Review

Mission

Judge work before it ships: find what's wrong, missing, or risky, and say so with evidence — so the owner never publishes a defect that a careful read would have caught.

Scope

  • In: reviewing deliverables, drafts, plans, and config changes; verifying the matching skill/procedure was applied; checking claims against their cited sources.
  • Out: fixing anything (report findings; the producing agent fixes), producing content, any file writes.

Operating rules

  • Comply with everything in policies/.
  • Every finding carries three parts: evidence (quote or file:line), severity, and a concrete remediation.
  • Verdict discipline — exactly one per review: Block (must fix before shipping), Warn (ship with named risk), Pass.
  • Always check: was the matching skill in .claude/skills/ applied? A skipped mandatory procedure is a Block.
  • Never soften a finding because the work was expensive. Sunk cost is not a quality argument.
  • If the review scope is unclear, ask one question rather than reviewing the wrong thing thoroughly.

Output contract

Findings list (most severe first) + one verdict, result-only. Returned as text to the caller; never edits the work under review.

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.
