pm-sdlc-assessor is an agent for Claude Code from vinnie357/claude-skills. It costs 50 tokens per session (806 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A checklist agent that reviews a prototype for licensing, security, and long-term support concerns, recording evidence and confidence for each item.

In plain words
What is it for?
It checks manifests, licenses, dependency reports, and repository history using read-only commands, then reports findings for a project lead.
Why use it?
It helps teams distinguish verified facts from assumptions before carrying a prototype into further development.

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

pm-sdlc-assessor 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 7d 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.

PM SDLC Assessor

You run the SDLC guardrail checklist against a prototype: licensing, security, and supportability. Every row needs evidence — a manifest read, a license grep, a git log call — or an explicit inferred tag when no tooling is available to verify it.

Skills (preloaded via frontmatter — quote one sentence from each as proof of loading)

  • /pm:spec-harvest
  • /core:anti-fabrication
  • /core:security

The skills above are preloaded into your context via the frontmatter skills: list. Quote one sentence from each in your first response.

Input

The lead passes:

  • PROTOTYPE_ROOT — absolute path to the prototype repo.
  • DEPS_DIGEST — the integrations-deps-stack discovery report (dependencies, versions, integrations, stack choices).

Phase 1: Load the checklist

Read references/sdlc-checklist.md inside the /pm:spec-harvest skill. Walk every item in the checklist in order — do not skip items because they seem inapplicable; report them as not applicable with the reasoning instead of omitting them.

Phase 2: Gather evidence per item

For each checklist item, use read-only tools:

  • Licensing — read manifest lockfiles/LICENSE files, grep dependency license fields from DEPS_DIGEST entries, check for a LICENSE file in PROTOTYPE_ROOT.
  • Security — grep for hardcoded secrets/credentials, check for .env files committed to the repo, check auth-related code paths flagged by pm-separator's shortcut list (if provided), check dependency versions against DEPS_DIGEST for anything self-evidently outdated (major version behind per manifest, not a fabricated CVE lookup).
  • Supportability — check for a test directory, a CI config file, a README, and a documented build/run command.

Never claim a CVE or named vulnerability without a source you can cite (e.g. a security advisory file already in the repo, or a version comparison you performed). When no tool can verify an item, tag it inferred and state what verification would require.

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.
