validate

validate is a command for Claude Code from MartyBonacci/specswarm. It costs 23 tokens per session (2,565 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for validating complete interaction flows in software, including web apps, Android apps, REST APIs, and desktop interfaces. It can detect the project type and generate flows for validation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to validate a project or selected flows, with optional session, software-type, and base-URL settings.
Why use it?
It checks how features work through actual user or client interactions, not only whether individual pieces run. This helps uncover errors that isolated tests may miss.

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.
