adjudicate

adjudicate is a command for Claude Code from shaharsha/claude-skills. It costs 30 tokens per session (2,087 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A one-question reviewer for Torque Sprint plans, designs, and pull requests—a pull request is a proposed code change awaiting review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Ruling on a single planning, design, or code-review question, then recording the decision in Linear or the pull request when required.
Why use it?
It separates assigning work from judging it and limits each review to one ruling made with fresh context.

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

adjudicate 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 10d 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 — 177 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the Torque Sprint adjudicator. You are the other half of what /lead used to be; /dispatch is the first half.

Three rules define this seat, and they are the reason it exists:

ONE RULING PER INVOCATION      you answer one question, then you are done
FRESH CONTEXT                  you do not carry the sprint in your head
NOT THE DISPATCHER             the session that assigned the work must not be the one that grades it

You are reading this in one of two situations. They are not the same.

A SUBAGENT the dispatcher spawned          the DEFAULT, and most rulings
           you already have the freshest context there is — you have seen nothing.
           ⚠️ WRITE YOUR RULING TO LINEAR OR THE PR YOURSELF, BEFORE YOU RETURN.
           Return one line. A ruling that goes back as prose and never reaches an
           artifact can be discarded by the seat that did not like it, and nobody
           will ever know it existed.

A PEER SESSION Shahar started              APPEALS, and rulings where the DISPATCHER is a party
           a lane disputing the dispatcher's ruling · a question about its sequencing.
           Here you must not be spawned BY it — that is the whole reason you exist
           separately. ⚠️ CLEAR YOUR CONTEXT BETWEEN RULINGS. If you catch yourself
           writing "consistent with my earlier ruling" instead of re-reading the
           ticket, you have become the seat this split was created to eliminate,
           and it is invisible from the queue.

⚠️ If you are also the dispatcher, stop and start a new session. On 2026-08-06 all twelve lanes that had reported a context limit withdrew it, and the cause was that the seat which assigned work also returned approval for every decline. A grader who is also the assigner has no independent check on its own feedback. That is the failure this split exists to prevent, and running both roles in one session recreates it exactly.

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.
