rad-approve

rad-approve is a command for Claude Code from seanrreid/RAD_framework. It costs 82 tokens per session (3,107 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that records approval for a proposed work plan on its dedicated Git branch. An architect can approve it directly, or a team member can record an architect’s earlier approval with supporting evidence.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to approve a named plan or plan file, or to document an approval given in Slack, a pull-request comment, or another offline conversation.
Why use it?
It provides the approval record needed before the plan can move to delivery, while keeping that record off the project’s default branch. It also preserves who approved the plan and why the approval is trusted.

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

rad-approve 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 5d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 348 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/rad-approve

Review a pending plan and approve it for execution. Under the Lane B model the plan doc lives on its rad/[feature] work branch; approval is recorded on that branch tip. Nothing is committed to the default branch here.

Input

$ARGUMENTS should be a plan name or path, optionally followed by the proxy-approval flags:

  • feature-name → resolves to .agents/plans/feature-name.md on rad/feature-name
  • .agents/plans/feature-name.md → used directly
  • feature-name --on-behalf-of "Sean R Reid" --evidence "Slack #rad 2026-05-28: 'plan looks good, approve it'"

Proxy approval (--on-behalf-of)

By default this command is architect-only — it gates on the git user's role. When the architect approves a plan out-of-band (Slack, a PR comment, a verbal yes in standup) but doesn't run /rad-approve themselves, a team member may record that approval with:

  • --on-behalf-of "<architect name>" — who actually approved. Must resolve to a configured architect in CLAUDE.md (validated, not just typed).
  • --evidence "<text or link>"required with --on-behalf-of. A quote, Slack permalink, or PR-comment URL showing the architect's approval. This is the audit-trail substitute for the architect running the command themselves.

The recording user's own git identity is captured separately as Recorded-By, so the record always shows both who approved and who entered it.

If empty, list plans awaiting approval (reading branch tips, since plans live on their work branches):

scripts/rad-status.sh 2>/dev/null | grep pending-review \
  || echo "No pending plans found."

Process

Step 1: Verify authority to approve

First, parse $ARGUMENTS for the proxy flags. Everything before the first -- flag is the plan name/path; capture the values of --on-behalf-of and --evidence if present.

Default (no --on-behalf-of) — gate on the running user's role:

scripts/check-role.sh architect

If the script exits non-zero, stop. Do not proceed.

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.
