iaqi

iaqi is a skill for Claude Code from bengous/claude-code-plugins. It costs 83 tokens per session (3,247 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A repeated review process for improving skills, prompts, commands, and agents while checking that their original meaning remains intact. It uses fixed reference points to detect unwanted drift between revisions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when refining an agent-related artifact through several review rounds with measurable quality goals.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk that later edits optimize for reviewer preferences while quietly removing the original requirements.

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

iaqi 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 9d 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 — 426 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Intent-Anchored Quality Iteration (IAQI) prevents semantic drift during iterative improvement. The problem: each iteration risks optimizing for reviewer preferences rather than original intent. IAQI solves this through anchors—semantic checksums verified after every change.

<iaqi_philosophy>

Philosophy: The Anchor System

Before iterating, define anchors at three levels:

Layer Purpose Can Change? Example
Immutable Core identity phrases Never "Skills encode judgment. References encode facts."
Semantic Meaning to preserve Wording only "Force intentional choices" (can rephrase, not remove)
Structural Organization patterns Flexible 7-section template (order can change, sections preserved)

Why anchors matter: Without them, iteration 5 optimizes for reviewer 5's preferences, not iteration 0's intent. Anchors are checksums against drift.

A good anchor set has:

  • 3-5 immutable phrases (exact strings that must appear verbatim)
  • 4-6 semantic anchors (meanings that must be preserved)
  • 3-5 structural anchors (patterns/organization to maintain)
  • A list of forbidden changes (what would violate the intent) </iaqi_philosophy>

<iaqi_workflow>

Workflow: 4-Phase Structure

Parse arguments from invocation:

  • artifact-path (required): file to improve
  • --reviewers N (default: 5): parallel reviewer count
  • --target X.X (default: 9.0): score threshold for success
  • --max-iterations N (default: 7): iteration limit

Phase 1: UNDERSTAND (human required)

  1. Read the artifact thoroughly
  2. Propose an intent statement (1-2 sentences: why this artifact exists, its distinctive quality)
  3. Create a workflow diagram showing the artifact's structure or flow:
    • Skills: phase/step workflow
    • Commands: decision tree or execution flow
    • Agents: interaction pattern
    • Prompts: section structure
  4. Present to human via AskUserQuestion:
    • Show intent statement and diagram
    • Options: "Yes, proceed to anchoring" / "No, let me clarify"
  5. If clarification needed, incorporate feedback and re-present
  6. Exit: Understanding locked

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.

iaqi is a skill published in the GitHub repository bengous/claude-code-plugins (4 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 83 tokens to every session and 3,247 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-09-03.

End-to-end pipeline: pull a task from the project's task tracker by ID (Redmine or GitHub Issues today, more addable via a new adapter), sanity-check and impact-assess it against the codebase before touching anything, implement it with the Claude CLI, verify the result in a real browser via the Claude Chrome extension…

work

Dispatch a tracker ticket into an isolated worktree and drive it autonomously to an open pull request, then stop for review. Pass interactive to brainstorm the ticket with a human before planning it, or a sentence of editorial direction as a rider. Use when asked to work a ticket end-to-end.

cleanup

Clean up after a merged pull request — return to the base branch, remove the worktree, delete the branch, sweep other stale branches and worktrees, and report tracker state. Use after a merge or whenever asked what is left over.

merge

Merge the reviewed pull request for the current branch, then hand straight off to cleanup. A sentence of editorial direction alongside the green light is read as a rider. Use when a human green-lights an open PR.

prep

Spec a ticket before it is dispatched. Brainstorms it, decides everything it can recommend an answer for, asks a present human about the little that survives, and leaves the spec, the decisions and anything still open as one ticket comment. No worktree, no branch, no pull request, and the ticket stays where it was.
