validate

validate is a command for Claude Code from kubb-labs/kubb. It costs 18 tokens per session (187 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for checking whether an OpenAPI or Swagger file—the document that describes an API—is valid before generating code from it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to validate a local API file or web URL with the Kubb command-line tool, then decide whether to initialize or generate code.
Why use it?
It catches specification errors early and points to the faulty part when possible, before code generation fails or produces incorrect results.

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

validate 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 1mo 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

Validate the OpenAPI/Swagger spec at $ARGUMENTS by running the kubb validate CLI in the terminal (ask for the path or URL if empty).

  1. Run validation:

    npx kubb validate <spec>
    

    The input accepts a local path or a URL.

  2. On success, confirm the spec is valid and offer to run /kubb:init or /kubb:generate.

  3. On failure, report the validation errors clearly and, where possible, point at the offending part of the spec and suggest a fix.

Validation needs @kubb/adapter-oas. If the command reports it is missing, tell the user to install it.

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.
