validate

validate is a skill for Claude Code from ea-toolkit/architecture-catalog. It costs 22 tokens per session (270 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An architecture-model checker that compares a registry of systems and components with the diagrams that describe them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run validation, list errors and orphan entries, group orphans by ArchiMate layer, and report domain maturity scores.
Why use it?
It finds diagram elements missing from the registry and registry entries that appear nowhere in a diagram, so inconsistencies are easier to review.

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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

Validate Architecture Model

Run the validation script and interpret results for the user.

Workflow

  1. Run: python scripts/validate.py
  2. Parse the output
  3. Summarize for the user:
    • Total elements in registry
    • Validation errors (elements in diagrams but not registered)
    • Orphan elements (registered but not in any diagram)
    • Domain maturity scores

Response Format

**Validation Results**

| Metric | Count |
|--------|-------|
| Registry entries | X |
| Validation errors | X |
| Orphan elements | X |

**Errors (if any):**
[List each error with file location]

**Orphans by layer:**
[Group orphans by ArchiMate layer]

**Recommendations:**
[Suggest fixes for errors, note that orphans are expected for incomplete models]

Notes

  • Orphan elements are normal for incomplete models - don't alarm the user
  • Validation errors are more serious - these indicate diagrams reference unregistered elements
  • If user asks for JSON output, run: python scripts/validate.py --format json

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 ea-toolkit/architecture-catalog (40 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 22 tokens to every session and 270 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
