vetting-outside-code-and-models

vetting-outside-code-and-models is a skill for Claude Code from FlyFission/nuclear-grade-context-engineering. It costs 85 tokens per session (1,472 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Checks dependencies, models, APIs, SaaS tools, generated files, and vendor claims against how you will actually use them, the proof you have, the gaps, and the release impact. Use when any of these affect evidence, permissions, data, releases, or public trust. Do not use for an internal cleanup with no outside…

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

vetting-outside-code-and-models 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.

Vetting Outside Code and Models

Overview

Trusting outside code is really a decision about how you will use it. A dependency, model, API, SaaS tool (software you rent online), or vendor claim should be accepted only for the job its evidence and controls actually support. Trust it for that job. Do not trust it past that.

Decision contract

  • Claim checked: the dependency, model, API, or SaaS is accepted only for a use no broader than repo-side evidence supports, its critical characteristics independently verified by a named acceptance method, vendor claims kept apart from proof, each gap given a re-check trigger or routed to a release decision; a critical characteristic that cannot be independently verified blocks acceptance.
  • Artifact observed: the named dependency/version/provider, vendor claims, and own-repo evidence -> a supplier-trust section or supplier-trust.md with the use decision, gaps, backup controls, and release impact.
  • Decision affected: block -- whether to trust and use the dependency, model, API, or SaaS; unresolved gaps feed ship.md defer/block/ship-with-risk.
  • Failure class: boundary-overreach (trust stated past repo-side evidence, or vendor marketing treated as proof).
  • Next action: route the unresolved gap to ship.md; credentials, production data, or security/privacy claims escalate to a qualified review.

When to Use

  • A change adds or updates a package, a model, an API, an online service, a generated file, a build service, or a data source.
  • You are leaning on an outside claim as proof of behavior, security, privacy, reliability, licensing, or release readiness.
  • A tool gets credentials, network access, data access, or a say in releases.

When Not to Use

  • The dependency is for development only, easy to undo, and already covered by a quick proof.
  • The request is only to cite a public source, not to lean on it as trust evidence.
  • A qualified security or purchasing review is needed, which happens outside this repo.

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.
