implement-spicedb-checks

implement-spicedb-checks is a command for coding agents from authzed/authzed-marketplace. It costs 32 tokens per session (5,148 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A coding command for adding SpiceDB permission checks and access lookups to application code. SpiceDB is a service that answers whether a subject, such as a user, may perform an action on a resource.

In plain words
What is it for?
It adds single and bulk permission checks, finds resources a subject can access, and finds subjects allowed to use a resource.
Why use it?
It helps applications enforce access rules at endpoints and filter lists according to each user's permissions.

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

implement-spicedb-checks 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 4d 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.

Implement SpiceDB Permission Checks

Add SpiceDB client calls for permission checks and lookup operations to application code.

Step 0: Verify or Generate Client

Before adding operation calls, verify a SpiceDB client exists in the codebase (search for authzed.NewClient, v1.NewClient, or equivalent). If not, generate client initialization code using the connection management pattern from skills/spicedb-best-practices/references/client-patterns.md. The client should be a singleton initialized at application startup, not per-request. For production TLS, see the same reference.

Progress Tracking

Before starting, use TaskCreate to create a task for each step. Use TaskUpdate to mark each task in_progress when starting and completed when done.

Supported Operations

  • CheckPermission -- single permission check at an authorization boundary
  • BulkCheckPermission -- check multiple permissions in one call (for list filtering)
  • LookupResources -- find all resources a subject can access with a given permission
  • LookupSubjects -- find all subjects that have a given permission on a resource

Process

Step 1: Understand the Context

Ask the user using AskUserQuestion:

  1. Operation type: Which check/lookup operation to implement?

    • Single permission check (CheckPermission)
    • Bulk permission check (BulkCheckPermission)
    • List accessible resources (LookupResources)
    • Find subjects with access (LookupSubjects)
  2. Programming language: What language?

    • Go
    • TypeScript/JavaScript
    • Python
  3. Target location: Where to add the code?

    • Specific file/function
    • Let checkpoint-identifier agent analyze and suggest
    • New file/module

Step 2: Locate Target Code

If user specified files, read them. Otherwise:

  • Use Task tool to launch checkpoint-identifier agent
  • Agent will analyze codebase and suggest where to add authorization
  • Agent uses data flow analysis to find authorization boundaries

Step 3: Load Best Practices

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.
