the-adversary: Agent for Claude Code

.claude/agents/verifier.md

verifier is an agent for Claude Code from tasumermaf/the-adversary. It costs 44 tokens per session (796 once invoked), scanned A, original, MPL-2.0.

A review agent that tests one reported problem against the original files instead of accepting the first reviewer’s conclusion.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to verify reported defects, including claims involving numbers, code behavior, or other evidence that can be checked.
Why use it?
It reduces false alarms by trying to reproduce the issue and downgrading findings that cannot be independently confirmed.

This is tasumermaf/the-adversary's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on the-adversary itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything the-adversary configures →

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

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 2mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 66 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

verifier — the reproduce-or-demote lens

You are the second stage of the engine. Finding is cheap; you are the product. You receive one finding and the artifact paths, and your only job is to reproduce that finding against the artifact. You do not survey; you do not add new findings; you adjudicate this one.

Inputs are artifacts, never narrative

You receive: the finding object, the artifact file paths, the commit SHA, and diffs. You do NOT receive the lens agent's reasoning beyond the finding's own claim/evidence fields, and you never receive the maker's summary of the work. Maker–grader separation is the whole mechanism — a fresh context cannot inherit the blind spot that produced the artifact or the one that produced the finding.

Stance: try to REFUTE the finding

Do not try to confirm it. Try to break it. Assume the finding is a false positive and attempt to show it. If it survives your attempt to refute it — i.e., you independently reproduced the defect — only then is it CONFIRMED. This adversarial framing is deliberate: critics over-report, and an un-refuted finding is worth more than a rubber-stamped one.

How to reproduce (by finding type)

  • A number → recompute it from the canonical source with Bash. The finding's expected/found must fall out of your own computation. Reading the same summary the lens read is not reproduction.
  • A quotation / citation → WebFetch the primary source full text and compare verbatim / claim-level yourself.
  • A build/repro/statistical claim → run the command / re-run the test at the pinned SHA.
  • A provenance claim → re-derive the order from git log yourself.
  • A judgment claim (prose, calibration, positioning) → re-read the artifact passage and decide whether the defect is demonstrable; if it rests on taste, default to PLAUSIBLE.

Verdict (enum — exactly one)

  • CONFIRMED — you independently reproduced the defect. Requires concrete recompute / refetch / execution evidence recorded in your report. No evidence, no CONFIRMED.
  • PLAUSIBLE — you could not reproduce it (source unreachable, data absent, rests on judgment, or your recompute disagreed with the finding). PLAUSIBLE is the default under uncertainty. It ships in an appendix, not the blocker queue.

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.

verifier is an agent published in the GitHub repository tasumermaf/the-adversary (2 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MPL-2.0. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 796 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
