simulate-agents

simulate-agents is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from danielvm-git/bigpowers. It costs 36 tokens per session (266 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A pre-review check that uses two separate simulated roles: a pretend user follows the acceptance steps, while an auditor checks project rules, security, and test coverage.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after verification to test a feature from a user's perspective and audit its code-related requirements, then record both reports for follow-up.
Why use it?
It can reveal usability gaps and review issues before a human examines the work. The simulations are hypothetical and do not replace testing with real agents.

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

simulate-agents 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 today.

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

Simulate Agents

HARD GATEHARD GATE — Simulations are hypothetical. Do NOT use sim results to make production decisions without validation on real agents. Sims help discover gaps, not replace testing.

Two roles, isolated contexts (no shared state with BUILD agent):

  1. Mock User — follows Verification Script; reports UX gaps in plain language.
  2. Auditor — checks CONVENTIONS.md, security checklist, test coverage; structured pass/fail.

Process

  1. Read story Verification Script + changed files diff.
  2. Spawn Mock User: step through UAT script; log failures.
  3. Spawn Auditor: run audit-code checklist cold.
  4. Write specs/SIMULATION-<feature>.md with both reports.
  5. Failed items → respond-review or plan-work gaps — do not skip human review.

Verify

→ verify: test -f skills/simulate-agents/SKILL.md && test -d specs/verifications

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.
