strict

strict is a command for Claude Code from 0xhimanshu/governor. It costs 9 tokens per session (99 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A task-level setting that applies stricter rules to coding work. It requires an implementation agreement before broad edits, checks for unintended drift after edit phases, and keeps scans focused.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for tasks where broad edits, requirement ambiguity, or unintended changes would be risky. It applies only to the current task.
Why use it?
It helps limit accidental changes and makes unclear requirements a reason to stop and ask for clarification. This is useful when a task needs tighter control over scope and process.

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

strict 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 6d 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

Governor Strict Mode

For the current task, use stricter governance:

  • require an implementation contract before broad edits
  • run drift guard after edit phases
  • avoid broad scans unless justified
  • keep tool output compact
  • stop and report when requirements are ambiguous

Strict mode is task-scoped. Do not assume it remains enabled for future unrelated tasks unless the user says so.

Changes

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.
