mainframe-tickets-verify

mainframe-tickets-verify is a skill for Codex from CATWILLgh/MAINFRAME. It costs 73 tokens per session (900 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A process for independently checking whether completed software tickets really fixed their reported problems. A ticket is a recorded piece of work or bug report.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reviewing ticket history and code, reproducing the claimed result, checking tests and setup, and either archiving proven fixes or returning failed work to the correct queue.
Why use it?
It separates verification from implementation, making it less likely that the person who made a change overlooks a false positive or remaining failure.

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

mainframe-tickets-verify 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 6d 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 — 88 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Verify implemented tickets

Treat the native Goal objective and any plain-language scope supplied with the explicit invocation as the run boundary. An empty scope means every eligible ticket in docs/tickets/open/needs-verification/. Process one ticket at a time until the selected queue is exhausted, the user pauses or cancels the run, or no eligible work can continue because of an evidenced external blocker.

Do not continue if this task implemented any selected ticket. Independent verification must start in a fresh task with no ownership of the implementation. Before checking a ticket, read ticket-format.md and mainframe-testing-strategy.

Reconstruct the claim

Confirm that the ticket remains in open/needs-verification/, then inspect its full recorded history, the actual implementation, relevant repository history, and the current affected paths. Treat the ticket prose, implementation notes, and prior green commands as leads rather than proof.

State the original observable problem, the claimed correction, and the business or technical contract that would distinguish success from a plausible false positive. Inspect every command, project script, fixture, setup step, and external dependency before running it. Do not touch a remote, shared, staging, or production environment without separate explicit authority.

Obtain independent evidence

Reproduce the original gap through its regression protection or the smallest faithful current observation. Run focused checks and proportionate broader checks that can expose regressions in the affected contract, meaningful error paths, and cleanup behavior. Use deterministic interleavings for concurrency claims. When generated output, serialization, installation, or another consumer-facing artifact is part of the result, inspect the real produced shape or consumer boundary rather than only its source.

Use a real dependency or deployed check only when that boundary is the risk and the environment is available and authorized. Never convert an unavailable environment, a passing mock, a coverage percentage, or an unrelated green suite into evidence for a claim it cannot prove. Report only observations made in this verification task.

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.
