config-validate

config-validate is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from cintia09/CodeNook. It costs 0 tokens per session (399 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A field-by-field checker for a combined CodeNook configuration. It verifies data types, required values, size limits, allowed choices, and deprecated settings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to validate a merged JSON configuration and receive either readable messages or structured errors and warnings.
Why use it?
It catches invalid settings after configuration files have been combined, while keeping warnings separate from actual errors.

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

config-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 2mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (_validate.py, 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.

What it actually says

config-validate (builtin skill)

Role

Field-level validator for merged CodeNook configs (output of config-resolve). Checks types, ranges, enums; emits warnings for deprecated keys. Separate from config-resolve's top-key whitelist (which is about routing only).

CLI

validate.sh --config <merged.json> [--schema <config-schema.yaml>] [--json]
  • --config required; must be valid JSON object.
  • --schema defaults to the packaged config-schema.yaml shipped alongside this SKILL.
  • --json switches stdout to { ok, errors, warnings } (stderr still carries human-readable lines).

Exit codes

code meaning
0 no errors (warnings permitted)
1 at least one validation error
2 usage error (missing/bad flags, missing files)

Error shape (--json)

{
  "ok": false,
  "errors": [{ "path": "models.default", "msg": "must be at least 1 char(s)" }],
  "warnings": [{ "path": "legacy_router", "msg": "deprecated key" }]
}

Schema DSL

See config-schema.yaml header comments. Supports string|integer|object, required, min_length, min, enum, nested fields. Unknown top-level keys are tolerated (routing-layer decides those); only entries in the schema's deprecated: list emit warnings.

Notes

  • M1 scope: enough coverage for DoD fields (models.default, hitl.mode, concurrency.max_parallel). Grow the schema as subsystems land.
  • M5 will layer plugin-specific schemas on top (see implementation.md §M5.2).
Files

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

config-validate is a skill published in the GitHub repository cintia09/CodeNook (5 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 399 tokens. 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.
