vet-a-vendor

vet-a-vendor is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from akiotanaka847/qaio-desktop. It costs 64 tokens per session (2,542 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A vendor due-diligence workflow for checking a supplier before signing an agreement. It can assess business fit against your criteria or research publicly stated security and compliance information, with sources for its claims.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps evaluate a vendor's suitability, assign a risk level, prepare questions for an initial call, and document claimed frameworks, security leadership, and recent public incidents.
Why use it?
It gives you a structured way to compare a supplier with your requirements and identify risks before committing. It also separates a commercial-fit review from a public compliance review.

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

vet-a-vendor 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.

Vet A Vendor

One skill for vendor due-diligence. aspect param picks the angle: a commercial-fit evaluation against your supplier rubric, or a public-source compliance research report. Both ground in your operating context so risk thresholds match your posture.

Parameter: aspect

  • fit - rubric-based commercial due-diligence. Scores supplier 1-10 against your rubric, assigns risk tier (green / yellow / red), surfaces strengths, concerns, first-call questions, and a recommendation. Output: evaluations/{supplier-slug}.md.
  • compliance - public-source compliance research. Catalogs frameworks claimed, triangulates against independent verification, names security leadership, lists incidents from the last 3 years. Every claim cited. Output: compliance-reports/{company-slug}.md.

User names aspect in plain English ("evaluate Stripe", "is Vercel a fit", "compliance check on Mongo", "is Notion clean") -> infer. Ambiguous -> ask ONE question naming both options.

When to use

fit:

  • "evaluate {supplier} for {product / service}"
  • "score these suppliers against our criteria"
  • "is {vendor} a fit for {our use case}"
  • Called from score-an-inbound when inbound is a supplier application.

compliance:

  • "run compliance due-diligence on {vendor}"
  • "is {company}'s compliance posture real"
  • "what frameworks does {vendor} actually hold"
  • Called as sub-step of aspect=fit for risk-sensitive suppliers (data processors, infra, financial services).

Connections I need

I run external work through Composio. Before this skill runs I check the categories below are linked. Missing -> I name the category, ask you to connect it from the Integrations tab, stop.

  • Web research (Firecrawl, Exa, Perplexity) - Required (both aspects). For fit: pulls supplier site, pricing, case studies, recent news. For compliance: pulls trust pages, security pages, news coverage, triangulates framework claims.
  • Inbox (Gmail, Outlook) - Optional for fit. Surfaces prior correspondence so I don't start cold. Not used for compliance.
  • Social / professional network (LinkedIn) - Optional for compliance. Lets me confirm a named CCO / CISO is real and active. Not used for fit.

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.
