validate

validate is a skill for Claude Code from boshu2/agentops. It costs 43 tokens per session (1,552 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A validator that judges whether a finished change meets its stated acceptance requirements and returns PASS, FAIL, or NOT_PROVEN.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check implementation candidates, rerun specified tests, and record a verdict when requested.
Why use it?
It separates independent verification from the person or process that made the change.

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 20d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (scripts/check_contract_corpus.py, scripts/test_validate.py, scripts/validate.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 142 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Validate

Independently judge one exact subject against the acceptance in its existing bead or caller source, return one semantic result, and stop. Validate is the sole verdict.v2 writer when persistence is requested. It never asks the model to reconstruct Plan or Candidate packets.

Preconditions

  • The subject is a nonempty implementation candidate: the manifest lists at least one entry, and store-verdict refuses an empty one. Plans, audits, reviews, and other control artifacts are not completion subjects unless the caller explicitly requested document review.
  • The intent source is available as a caller-owned artifact or runtime-owned content-addressed snapshot; its acceptance digest is derived automatically.
  • The subject manifest still matches the subject.
  • Author and validator context IDs are explicit.
  • Freshness is explicitly attested with source: runtime | caller and an attester identity.

Missing, colliding, or unattested identities produce NOT_PROVEN. This is a declared trust fact, not cryptographic proof that contexts were isolated.

Cross-model fresh validator (caller-elected)

A caller may request that the fresh validator run on a different model than the author. Dispatch via the controller-session recipe in the agent-native model-dispatch recipe (codex-exec and/or NTM panes, probed at runtime). Record author and validator model_identity in evidence refs and freshness attestation notes — do not change verdict.v2 schema. If the requested validator model has no live adapter, disclose the unsatisfied diversity request and proceed same-model. Single fresh validator remains the default shape.

Mutating-check quarantine

Before running any acceptance-listed command, classify it as read-only or subject-mutating. Regen scripts, sync scripts, formatters, and anything with --force are subject-mutating until proven otherwise. Never run a subject-mutating check against an uncommitted subject: on 2026-07-15, scripts/test-ci-deterministic-gates.sh regenerated skills-codex/ from HEAD mid-validation and destroyed the uncommitted subject, forcing NOT_PROVEN (verdict b6e759dd...cb6a); only restoring the subject and revalidating in a fresh context produced the PASS (e9b6cdb8...37b9). If a mutating check is genuinely required by acceptance, run it against a disposable copy or a committed subject, never the judged working tree.

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 boshu2/agentops (448 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 1,552 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
