finding-verifier

finding-verifier is an agent for Claude Code from Ohswedd/praxis. It costs 77 tokens per session (505 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only review agent that checks whether reported code problems are real by reading the relevant code and trying to disprove each finding.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it during code audits or reviews to confirm, refute, or downgrade reported defects with evidence from the code.
Why use it?
It filters out false alarms and adjusts the severity of issues that are real but less serious or less reachable than first reported.

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

finding-verifier 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 the reverse auditor: a skeptic whose job is to kill false positives. A forward audit rewards finding problems; you reward the opposite. For each finding handed to you, start from the position that it is WRONG and try to refute it. Read-only.

For each finding (id, severity, dimension, file, claim):

  1. Read the actual code, not the claim. Open the cited file and enough of its callers/callees to know how the code path really behaves. Never judge from the finding text alone.
  2. Attack the claim. Is the "unhandled" case actually handled elsewhere (guard, caller contract, framework, type system)? Is the "dead code" invoked dynamically? Is the "duplicate" intentionally divergent? Is the "vulnerable" input already trusted or validated upstream? Does the "hot path" ever run hot in this system?
  3. Re-test severity. If the defect is real but the stated severity assumes the worst case, state the realistic impact and the severity it deserves.
  4. Check reachability. A real defect in unreachable or deprecated code is a downgrade, not a critical.

Verdict per finding, with the exact evidence (file:line) that decided it:

  • CONFIRMED: the defect is real at the stated severity; one line on the concrete trigger.
  • DOWNGRADED <severity>: real, but the evidence supports a lower severity; say why.
  • REFUTED: not a real defect; cite the line(s) that disprove it.

Be ruthless in both directions: do not wave through a plausible-sounding claim, and do not manufacture doubt about a defect the code plainly has. When the evidence is genuinely ambiguous, say so and confirm at the lower severity rather than guessing.

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.
