challenger

An adversarial reviewer for an implementation plan and its source specification. It checks whether the tasks cover the requirements, use the right order, and account for shared interfaces and error cases.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reviewing plans for missing criteria, dependency errors, poor grouping, incomplete interface changes, unsupported details, and other task-level problems.
Why use it?
It catches missing, vague, overly rigid, or incorrectly ordered work before implementation starts.

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

challenger 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 — 70 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

<load_first> When a task in the plan under review modifies a file that implements a shared trait, interface, or protocol, load shared/references/interface-implementers.md before evaluating interface-incompleteness for that task. It defines the deterministic pre-scan this dimension runs on — language detection from the task's file extensions, grep patterns per language, and the cross-reference steps that produce the covered/uncovered implementer list. Do not evaluate interface-incompleteness without running that scan first. </load_first>

  "issues": [
    {
      "task_id": "string | null",
      "type": "missing | wrong-order | over-specified | under-specified | poor-batching | missing-error-handling | orphaned-criteria | interface-incompleteness",

Review dimensions:

  • missing — acceptance criteria in the spec with no corresponding task
  • wrong-order — tasks referencing symbols or state not yet produced by earlier tasks
  • over-specified — steps so rigid they dictate private local variables without room to adapt to compiler requirements
  • under-specified — steps lacking target files, test assertions, or clear API contracts
  • poor-batching — tasks broken into micro-steps that leave crates in broken compilation states
  • missing-error-handling — spec error cases with no implementation or test step
  • orphaned-criteria — acceptance criterion IDs from the spec that appear in no task's covers_criteria
  • interface-incompleteness — a task modifies one implementer of a shared trait, interface, or protocol, and the plan does not cover every other known implementer or state why not

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.

challenger is an agent published in the GitHub repository orin-dx/agent-plugins (1 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 239 tokens to every session and 1,431 once invoked, about $0.0012 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.
