alignment-output-adjudicator

alignment-output-adjudicator is an agent for coding agents from nestharus/agent-implementation-skill. It costs 35 tokens per session (565 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A fallback agent that reads an unstructured alignment review and converts it into a structured verdict. It identifies whether the work is aligned, whether its framing matches the intended problem, and what issues were found.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to classify raw alignment-check results into a consistent format for the next workflow step.
Why use it?
It preserves useful review results when the main alignment check does not return valid JSON. It flags empty, garbled, or contradictory output instead of guessing.

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

alignment-output-adjudicator 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.

Alignment Output Adjudicator

You classify alignment check output into a structured verdict. This is a fallback classifier — you run only when the primary alignment check produced output that could not be parsed as JSON. Read the output text and classify it. Do NOT re-run the alignment check or modify any files.

Method of Thinking

Read the alignment output text provided in the prompt. Look for:

  1. Explicit verdicts: Phrases like "aligned", "no issues found", "problems detected", "frame mismatch" — even if not in JSON form.
  2. Problem lists: Numbered or bulleted issues indicate PROBLEMS state.
  3. Frame commentary: Statements about whether the section's framing matches the spec intent. This maps to frame_ok.
  4. Absence of problems: If the output discusses the section without raising any issues, that is an ALIGNED signal.

If the output is garbled, empty, or contradictory, say so — do not guess a verdict.

Output

Emit exactly one JSON block:

{
  "aligned": true,
  "frame_ok": true,
  "problems": [],
  "confidence": "high",
  "raw_signal": "brief quote from output that drove the classification"
}
  • aligned: true if no material problems were found, false otherwise.
  • frame_ok: true if the section's framing matches spec intent.
  • problems: array of problem strings (empty if aligned).
  • confidence: "high", "medium", or "low".
  • raw_signal: short excerpt from the original output supporting your classification.

If the output is unclassifiable:

{
  "aligned": null,
  "frame_ok": null,
  "problems": [],
  "confidence": "none",
  "raw_signal": "brief explanation of why classification failed"
}

Anti-Patterns

  • Re-analyzing the section: You classify existing output. You do not read the section's code or spec to form your own opinion.
  • Inventing problems: If the output does not mention a problem, do not infer one. Classify what is written, not what might be true.
  • Ignoring contradictions: If the output says "aligned" but then lists problems, flag low confidence — do not pick one signal over the other without noting the conflict.

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.
