validate

A repository command that runs a pre-push validation suite, meaning a group of checks performed before code is sent to a remote repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to validate hooks, skill metadata, cross-references, repository files, tests, and other project-wide requirements, then report failures.
Why use it?
It catches repository, configuration, routing, quality, structure, and secret-related problems before they reach continuous integration or teammates.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 2d 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

Before executing this command, output:

shipworthy › command: /validate — running pre-push validation suite


/validate — Pre-Push Validation Gate

Run the comprehensive Shipworthy validation suite before pushing changes.

What This Does

Dispatches the pre-push-validator agent to run all validation checks against the current state of the repository. This catches issues before they reach CI.

Steps

  1. Run bash tests/validate-all.sh to execute the full validation suite
  2. Report results grouped by category:
    • Hook tests — session-start, pre-tool-use, post-tool-use (37 tests)
    • Skill frontmatter — name, description, invoke_when fields on all skills
    • CSO compliance — invoke_when starts with "Use when...", length limits, name/directory match
    • Skill routing — all skills reachable from the master routing table
    • Cross-references — all shipworthy:skill-name references resolve to real skills
    • Skill quality — no duplicates, minimum content, anti-patterns sections, markdown structure
    • Repo structure — required files, directories, agents, templates, commands, secrets scan
  3. If any check fails, list the specific failures and suggest fixes
  4. If all checks pass, confirm it is safe to push

When to Run

  • Before every git push
  • After adding or modifying skills
  • After changing hooks
  • Before creating a PR
  • When the user runs /validate

Output Format

Report results as a clear summary table:

Check Status Details
Hook tests PASS/FAIL 37/37 passed
Skill frontmatter PASS/FAIL 55/55 valid
CSO compliance PASS/FAIL All "Use when..."

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.

It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 401 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
