parallax-assess

parallax-assess is a command for Claude Code from eddiebelaval/squire. It costs 0 tokens per session (3,831 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that asks several clinical experts to assess a product feature, interaction, safety mechanism, or voice guide from different therapeutic and ethical viewpoints. It combines their findings into an interactive report.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess psychological safety, crisis or violence detection, interaction patterns, voice guidelines, and adversarial scenarios.
Why use it?
It helps reveal safety risks and missing clinical coverage before a feature or framework is used.

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

parallax-assess 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.

/parallax-assess — Clinical Triangulated Assessment

Spawn 3 PhD-level clinical expert subagents in parallel, each assessing Ava's framework from a different therapeutic/ethical perspective. Experts are dynamically selected based on the target material's clinical domains. Triangulate their findings into an interactive HTML artifact with risk matrix, instrument coverage analysis, and adversarial scenario evaluation.

Arguments

  • $ARGUMENTS: The target to assess (e.g., "shadow-engine", "interview-system", "safety-framework", "ava-voice"). Targets are always assessed in the context of Parallax/Ava's clinical framework.

Instructions

Phase 1: Identify the Target

Determine what's being assessed within Parallax's clinical framework. This could be:

  • A new feature's psychological safety (e.g., Shadow Engine)
  • An existing interaction pattern (e.g., interview system, solo mode)
  • A safety mechanism (e.g., crisis detection, violence detection)
  • A voice/tone specification (e.g., Ava's voice guide)
  • An adversarial scenario playbook

IMPORTANT: Before spawning experts, YOU must read and understand the target thoroughly. Read all relevant spec documents, code files, safety configs, and prompt templates. The experts need full clinical context.

Phase 2: Gather Context

  1. Read all relevant files for the target within Parallax (~/Development/id8/products/parallax)
  2. Read any relevant spec documents (check iCloud .docx files via textutil -convert txt -stdout)
  3. Read existing safety mechanisms: src/lib/signal-detector.ts, src/ava/kernel/values.md, src/ava/models/ipv.md
  4. Read the User Intelligence Layer research: docs/research/user-intelligence-layer.md
  5. Read the Shadow Engine specs if assessing shadow-related features
  6. Build a comprehensive clinical context summary including:
    • What the target does in user-facing terms
    • What psychological domains it touches
    • What safety mechanisms exist
    • What validated instruments are referenced
    • What consent mechanisms are in place
    • What the harm tiers look like
    • Any adversarial scenarios documented

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.

parallax-assess is a command published in the GitHub repository eddiebelaval/squire (21 stars, last pushed 24d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 3,831 tokens. 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 2026-09-03.
