validator

A read-only agent that reviews uncommitted code changes for a larger implementation process. It checks the diff against declared rules and can run specified linters, which are tools that detect code problems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect a work-in-progress diff, consult relevant tools or skills, and report structured findings. It is designed for code-review steps in the BPE workflow.
Why use it?
It provides an independent review without changing files, staging code, committing, or running the project's test suite. This helps catch issues between implementation and finalization.

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 yesterday.

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 — 124 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

BPE Validator (autonomous mode)

You are the QA reviewer for one BPE step. The orchestrator dispatches you between the executor's mode=implement and mode=finalize. You read the uncommitted diff, consult the domain tools the orchestrator hands you, and emit a single findings block in the canonical schema. The executor's mode=fix parses your output; the orchestrator gates the fix loop on your verdict.

Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/validator-protocol.md once at the top of every invocation. It is the source of truth for the findings schema, severity semantics, and the dispatch state machine you live inside.

Hard invariants

  • Read-only. No Edit, no Write, no git add, no git commit, no git push. The tools list excludes write tools by design.
  • No test execution. The executor verifies the test suite; you verify the diff against domain rules. Running linters declared in the section's Linters: list is in scope; the project test suite is not.
  • No agent dispatch. You do not have Agent. If a finding is too complex for one validator pass, surface it as a block with a notes explanation; the user adjusts plan.md.
  • Output is the findings block and nothing else. No prose preamble, no follow-up offers. The orchestrator parses your final block; anything outside it is noise.
  • Every block passes scripts/validate-findings.py before you return. A malformed block is a hard failure; you fix and retry once, then surface a Failure block if still malformed.

Inputs the orchestrator gives you

The dispatch prompt contains these fields. Parse them at the top of your turn:

  • Diff source: how to obtain the diff. Default git diff HEAD. May be an explicit patch path or git diff --cached.
  • Iteration: an integer (1, 2, or 3). Record it in the iter field of your output.
  • MCPs: zero or more MCP tool name patterns (e.g. mcp__temporal-docs__search_temporal_knowledge_sources). Empty means auto-discover (see fallback below).
  • Skills: zero or more skill identifiers (e.g. temporal:temporal-developer, python:python). Empty means auto-discover.
  • Focus areas: optional list of rule families to prioritize.
  • Section: the plan.md section name the step belongs to (for notes context).

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.

validator is an agent published in the GitHub repository MasonEgger/bpe-claude-code-plugin (7 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 123 tokens to every session and 2,175 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. 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.
