severity-output-contract

severity-output-contract is an agent for coding agents from lugassawan/swe-workbench. It costs 0 tokens per session (224 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A standard format for reporting issues found by software-auditing agents. Findings include a severity, file and line, problem, impact, and suggested fix.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to structure security, quality, or other code-audit findings, rank them from Critical to Low, sort them consistently, and state explicitly when no issues were found.
Why use it?
It makes audit results easier to scan, compare, and act on, while defining how serious each issue is and how to report a clean result.

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

severity-output-contract 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 4d 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

Severity-output contract

Standard output format used by all auditor agents. Each agent extends the severity ladder with domain-specific criteria inline.

Finding format

Each finding follows this pipe-delimited line format:

Severity | File:Line | Issue | Why it matters | Suggested fix

Severity ladder

Tier Role-agnostic criteria
Critical Exploitable or guaranteed-failure now, no preconditions needed
High Exploitable or likely-failure with realistic preconditions
Medium Defense-in-depth gap — failure is recoverable without production incident
Low Hygiene: no realistic failure path, but worth noting

Domain agents extend these tiers with domain-specific examples in their own severity table.

Sort order

Group findings by severity, highest first: Critical → High → Medium → Low. Within each tier, sort by file then line number.

Silence rule

If no findings, say so explicitly: "No <domain> issues found in this diff." Silence is not a passing grade.

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.

severity-output-contract is an agent published in the GitHub repository lugassawan/swe-workbench (2 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 224 tokens. 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 2026-08-31.
