validate

A post-implementation checking skill that compares changed code with a project's standards and conventions, including tests, naming, formatting, and configuration.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after implementation, either for one ticket or for all uncommitted changes.
Why use it?
It catches quality and consistency problems before code is committed and produces a report showing errors, warnings, and passed checks.

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 yesterday.

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

Validate

Validate code against project standards and conventions. Runs all checks and produces a report.

Usage

/validate TICKET-1234          # Validate files for a specific ticket
/validate                      # Validate all uncommitted changes

Process

  1. Identify changed files — scope to ticket or all uncommitted changes
  2. Load domain references — based on what's touched
  3. Run all checks — see check matrix below
  4. Output report — checklist with ERROR/WARN/PASSED counts

Identifying Changed Files

Ticket-scoped (ID provided):

git diff --name-only origin/{{BASE_BRANCH}}...HEAD

Filter to files matching the ticket. Also check docs/stories/{TICKET_ID}/.

All uncommitted (no ID):

git diff --name-only HEAD
git diff --name-only --cached

Check Matrix

IMPORTANT: Customize this section for your project. The checks below are templates — replace with your actual coding standards.

Code Standards (ERROR)

Check How to Detect Severity
Error handling on catch blocks Grep for catch blocks, verify each has proper error tracking ERROR
No debug/console.log in production Grep for debug statements in non-test files ERROR
No commented-out code Grep for patterns of commented code WARN
No hardcoded secrets/IDs Grep for patterns matching secrets, IDs, tokens ERROR
Test classes/files follow conventions Check test file naming and structure ERROR
Type conventions Check language-specific type usage WARN
No queries/IO in loops Check for performance anti-patterns ERROR
Constants over magic values Flag repeated string/number literals WARN

Test Quality (ERROR)

Check How to Detect Severity
No inline test data construction Tests should use factories/fixtures ERROR
No production data in tests Check for SeeAllData or equivalent ERROR
Uses test helpers/factories Verify standard test patterns used WARN
Adequate assertions Check test methods have assertions WARN

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 BostonOrange/claude-code-framework (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 34 tokens to every session and 1,531 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
