mpga-drift-check

mpga-drift-check is a skill for Claude Code from benrben/MPGA. It costs 35 tokens per session (569 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A checker for evidence drift, meaning claims or links that have become stale or can no longer be verified.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for quick, full, or CI checks across a chosen scope, with severity labels and automatic healing for minor findings.
Why use it?
It helps detect outdated references after files change and makes stale evidence visible before it causes confusion.

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

mpga-drift-check 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 2mo 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 — 67 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

drift-check

Evidence drift is never tolerated — stale links and unverified claims get caught and fixed.

Trigger: After file writes (automatic via hook), or on demand.

Delegation

This skill is a thin wrapper around the auditor agent's drift detection capabilities. The auditor owns drift classification and severity tiers. This skill exists for convenience and hook integration.

Protocol

  1. Invoke the auditor agent in drift mode with the appropriate sub-mode:

    • Quick check (default, used by hooks): auditor runs drift-quick for the affected scope
    • Full drift review (on demand): auditor runs drift across all scopes
    • CI gate check: auditor runs drift-ci with threshold enforcement
  2. The auditor will: a. Detect all drift findings b. Classify each by severity: CRITICAL, HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW c. Auto-heal LOW (cosmetic) findings d. Report everything else with recommended actions

  3. Shortcut commands (these invoke the auditor under the hood):

    mpga drift --quick --scope <scope>
    mpga drift --quick
    mpga drift --ci --threshold 80
    

Hook Integration

This skill is called automatically by the PostToolUse hook after Write/Edit operations. In hook mode, output should be minimal — only warn if drift is detected. The auditor runs in drift-quick mode during hooks for speed.

Severity Tiers

  • CRITICAL: broken evidence links to deleted files/functions — blocks shipping, fix immediately.
  • HIGH: evidence links to renamed/moved symbols — needs healing.
  • MEDIUM: stale evidence (>30 days old, file significantly changed) — should verify.
  • LOW: cosmetic drift (whitespace, formatting) — auto-healable.

Voice announcement

If spoke is available (mpga spoke --help exits 0), announce completion:

mpga spoke '<brief 1-sentence result summary>'

Keep the message under 280 characters. This plays the result in Trump's voice — TREMENDOUS.

Output

Output comes from the auditor agent's drift report. See auditor agent for full output format:

  • Number of findings per severity tier
  • Number of links auto-healed (LOW tier)
  • Links that need manual review (HIGH/CRITICAL)
  • Overall health percentage
  • Prefer scope-local drift checks during active work; reserve repo-wide reports for CI or explicit review

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.
