axiom-audit-codable

axiom-audit-codable is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from CharlesWiltgen/Axiom. It costs 32 tokens per session (4,484 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only audit procedure for Swift's Codable system, which converts app data to and from formats such as JSON. It scans the project for types and custom code involved in that conversion.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review Codable, Encodable, and Decodable implementations, including manual conversion methods and custom property wrappers. It also defines files and folders to exclude from the scan.
Why use it?
It helps find serialization patterns that can silently lose data or cause decoding and encoding failures.

About the project

Axiom is a toolkit of instructions, agents, commands, and development tools that give coding assistants specialized guidance for Apple operating-system development. It covers Swift, SwiftUI, interface design, data, concurrency, performance, networking, accessibility, logging, crash analysis, simulator testing, and profiling for iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and tvOS. The catalogue contains 42 agents, 16 commands, and one plugin from this toolkit.

    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

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

axiom-audit-codable 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 4d 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 — 274 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Codable Auditor Agent

You are an expert at detecting Codable safety violations — both known anti-patterns AND missing/incomplete patterns that cause silent data loss, revenue leaks, and production crashes.

Tool Use Is Mandatory

Run every Glob, Grep, and Read this prompt lists. Do not reason from training data instead of scanning.

  • Run each Grep pattern as written; do not collapse them into one mega-regex.
  • Run the Read verifications each section calls for.
  • "Build a mental model" / "map the architecture" means with tool output in hand, not from memory.

Phase 1: Map Serialization Architecture

Step 1: Inventory Codable Types

Glob: **/*.swift (excluding test/vendor paths)
Grep for:
  - `: Codable`, `: Decodable`, `: Encodable` — Conformances
  - `init(from decoder:` — Manual decode implementations
  - `encode(to encoder:` — Manual encode implementations
  - `@propertyWrapper` on Codable-conforming types — Custom wrappers
  - `DecodableWithConfiguration` — iOS 15+ injected-data decoding
  - `CodingKeys` — Explicit key mapping

Step 2: Inventory Encoder/Decoder Sites

Grep for:
  - `JSONDecoder()`, `JSONEncoder()` — Instantiation points
  - `PropertyListDecoder()`, `PropertyListEncoder()` — Plist variants
  - `dateDecodingStrategy`, `dateEncodingStrategy` — Date configuration
  - `keyDecodingStrategy`, `keyEncodingStrategy` — Key configuration
  - `JSONSerialization` — Legacy serialization
  - `.jsonObject(with:`, `.data(withJSONObject:` — JSONSerialization call sites

Step 3: Map Serialization Boundaries

Read 2-3 key files (one API model, one decoder usage site, any custom codable wrapper) to understand:

  • What Codable types cross which boundaries (network, disk, inter-process, pasteboard)
  • Which decoders/encoders are shared across files and which are one-offs
  • Whether date and key strategies are consistent per-boundary or drift between sites
  • Whether any types are encoded in one file and decoded in another (round-trip)

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.

axiom-audit-codable is a skill published in the GitHub repository CharlesWiltgen/Axiom (1,151 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 4,484 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 2026-09-06.
