validate

validate is a command for Claude Code from Generous-Corp/pulp. It costs 8 tokens per session (384 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A command for running available validators on built audio plugins. These validators check plugin formats such as Audio Unit, CLAP, VST3, and AAX when the relevant tools are installed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to validate plugins, run stricter or broader checks, produce a JSON report, take a screenshot, or validate a standalone app target.
Why use it?
It provides one way to run the available format checks and can stop early when a validator cannot launch because of a broken code signature. This avoids confusing mid-run failures and records results when requested.

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 B, and why

validate scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 today.

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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

If `pulp validate` aborts with "broken code signature", run: `pulp doctor --validators --fix` to clean up user-owned copies (root-owned copies print a sudo one-liner instead of auto-elevating).

What it actually says

Run plugin format validation on built plugins.

Use pulp validate when the CLI is on PATH, or ./build/pulp validate from a source build. Forward any arguments after validate.

This runs available validators:

  • auval — Audio Unit validation (macOS, if installed)
  • clap-validator — CLAP plugin validation (if installed)
  • pluginval — VST3 validation (if installed)
  • AAX Validator — AAX validation on macOS/Windows (if installed)
  • vstvalidator — optional Steinberg VST3 validator when --all is passed

Common invocations:

pulp validate
pulp validate --strict
pulp validate --all --json --report validation-report.json
pulp validate --screenshot
pulp validate --target standalone ./build/MyApp.app

If $ARGUMENTS is non-empty, forward it verbatim:

pulp validate $ARGUMENTS

Before launching any validator, pulp validate runs a discovery preflight. If any validator has a broken code signature (e.g. a copy of pluginval ripped out of its .app bundle, where amfid will SIGKILL the process at launch with exit 137 and zero stderr), pulp validate aborts with the exact path and remediation instead of letting the run die mid-validation.

If no validators are installed, run: pulp doctor --validators to confirm and see install commands. If pulp validate aborts with "broken code signature", run: pulp doctor --validators --fix to clean up user-owned copies (root-owned copies print a sudo one-liner instead of auto-elevating).

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.
