clippy-pet: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/validate/SKILL.md

validate is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from adammatthewsteinberger/clippy-pet. It costs 57 tokens per session (439 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project-specific validation procedure that runs the checks needed before committing or opening a pull request.

In plain words
What is it for?
Validating the manifest and sprite sheet, linting shell scripts, building documentation, and checking that release files use the same version.
Why use it?
It selects the relevant checks for the files changed, helping catch invalid sprites, shell-script problems, broken documentation, or mismatched release information.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); mentions AGENTS.md.

This is adammatthewsteinberger/clippy-pet's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on clippy-pet itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything clippy-pet configures →

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 7d 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

Run the checks that apply to what actually changed in the working tree, per AGENTS.md and CONTRIBUTING.md's PR checklist. Don't run steps that don't apply — e.g. don't require a docs build for a change that only touched packaging/.

  1. Determine what changed: git status --porcelain and/or git diff --stat against the target branch.
  2. Always run the manifest/spritesheet validator if pet.json, spritesheet.webp, or anything under source/ changed (or when in doubt — it's fast):
    . .venv/bin/activate 2>/dev/null || python3 -m venv .venv && . .venv/bin/activate && python3 -m pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
    make validate
    
  3. If any .sh file under scripts/ or packaging/ changed:
    make lint
    
    (requires shellcheck; report if it isn't installed rather than skipping silently)
  4. If docs/ or mkdocs.yml changed:
    pip install -r docs/requirements.txt
    make docs
    
    This runs mkdocs build --strict, so broken internal links fail it.
  5. If CHANGELOG.md, VERSION, or CITATION.cff changed, sanity-check by eye that they still agree with each other (the release guard enforces this strictly at tag time — see the release skill).
  6. Report which checks ran and their pass/fail result. Do not report the task as validated if a required check couldn't be run (e.g. missing shellcheck) — say so explicitly instead of skipping it quietly.
Changes

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.

validate is a skill published in the GitHub repository adammatthewsteinberger/clippy-pet (2 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 57 tokens to every session and 439 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. 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.
