finding-normalizer

finding-normalizer is a skill for Codex from Eliyce/paqad-ai. It costs 15 tokens per session (780 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A formatter that turns security evidence and other review results into consistent finding records. A finding is a documented problem with an identifier, severity, effort estimate, and reproduction details.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to standardize findings from security tests, design reviews, site-map checks, module decisions, documentation checks, and similar workflows.
Why use it?
It gives results from different sources the same structure, making them easier to compare, track, and act on without losing their original evidence.

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

finding-normalizer 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 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/validate-findings.sh), 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 71 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

What It Does

Normalizes evidence from docs, tests, runtime checks, and advisory feeds into stable finding entries with consistent ids, severity, effort, and reproduction data.

Finding-id prefixes recognised by the normalizer are listed under # code-prefix in assets/vocabulary.txt:

  • PEN-* — pentest findings (security workflow).
  • DT-* — design-test findings (design-system audit workflow; issue #76). Categories: token | component | state | a11y | responsive | motion | copy | performance | documentation-drift. token findings default to high severity to surface hard-coded design values (hex literals, raw px/rem, ad-hoc font stacks where a token exists).
  • SM-* — site-map findings (site-map / site-map-retest workflow; docs/site-map/<ts>.json). The id is a content-addressed SM-<hash8>; the SM-ADD | SM-REMOVE | SM-EDGE-STALE | SM-GUARD-DRIFT | SM-JOURNEY-BROKEN | … names are category values, listed under # site-map category in assets/vocabulary.txt.
  • MD-* — prospective module decisions (issue #80, Phase 1). Stored under .paqad/decisions/module-decisions/<id>.yml; the consumer is the Attribution Gate, not the pentest workflow. Treat severity/effort/status as advisory only for MD-* — the binding state machine lives in src/module-decisions/schema.ts.

Use This When

Use this after raw security evidence has been collected and needs to be turned into report-ready findings or retest statuses.

Inputs

  • Read the structured evidence payload first.
  • Read references/finding-fields.md before setting severity or effort.
  • Read retest state when the workflow is pentest-retest.

Procedure

  1. Deduplicate findings that describe the same risk surface.
  2. Pick severity, effort, and status from the closed sets in assets/vocabulary.txt.
  3. Preserve ids and prior statuses when normalizing retest output.
  4. Format the JSON exactly per assets/output.template.json.
  5. Validate with scripts/validate-findings.sh — checks required fields, vocabulary, and id uniqueness.

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.

finding-normalizer is a skill published in the GitHub repository Eliyce/paqad-ai (8 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 15 tokens to every session and 780 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-31.
