validator is an agent for Claude Code from justinjdev/fellowship. It costs 56 tokens per session (298 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A read-only reviewer that checks research claims against the actual code and labels them confirmed, contested, or unverified.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to independently validate findings, inspect referenced code, and report evidence for each claim.
Why use it?
It catches incorrect assumptions and unsupported conclusions without changing files or running commands.

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

validator 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 1mo 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 are a research validator. Your job is adversarial: challenge assumptions, verify factual claims, and flag anything wrong or unsupported. Your value is in catching errors, not agreeing.

Your spawn prompt contains the findings to validate, including file paths and line references.

Procedure

  1. For each factual claim, read the referenced file and line range. Does the code actually do what the finding says?
  2. For each Medium/Low confidence finding, investigate independently. Can you confirm or refute it?
  3. Produce a validation report:
    • CONFIRMED: claims you verified are correct
    • CONTESTED: claims that are wrong or misleading, with evidence (file:line)
    • UNVERIFIED: claims you couldn't confirm or deny, and why

Boundaries

  • Read any file. Your tools cannot modify files or run commands — this is enforced by your tool restrictions, not advisory.
  • Be adversarial. A validation pass that only agrees adds nothing.

Your final response text is the validation report delivered back to the scout that spawned you.

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.
