checklist

A session checklist for checking that long-running coding work still meets its requirements, constraints, risks, and acceptance criteria. It is kept as a persistent record during the task.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before implementation to record important checks, then update it as new requirements or risks appear and use it to verify the result.
Why use it?
It helps prevent forgotten requirements and false claims that work is complete.

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

checklist 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 2d 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

Problem: Long-running work may drift, forget requirements, or falsely appear complete.

Solution: Create and maintain a checklist as the persistent completion spine.

  1. After discovery/questions are resolved and before implementation, create a category/aspect-based checklist.

    • Capture source of truth: requirements, acceptance criteria, constraints, non-goals, assumptions, and authoritative references.
    • Cover all relevant internal/external factors.
    • Categories/aspects must be cumulatively exhaustive; items mutually exclusive where practical.
    • Include only medium+ findings.
    • Calibrate severity from impact, risk, and consequences of omission/failure.
    • Create before implementation context biases the analysis.
    • Each item contains < 8 words
    • Each item covers archetype/concept
    • Checklist is not a plan
    • Checklist has items for result verification
  2. Store the checklist in a project/feature temporary location. It may be committed for multi-session work.

    • Persist its path and validation instructions through context compaction.
  3. Keep the checklist synchronized with scope.

    • Add requirements, constraints, dependencies, or risks discovered later.
    • Never silently delete, weaken, merge away, or downgrade existing items. Record the reason for any material change.
  4. Before reporting completion, reload the checklist and validate every item against the final state.

    • Resolve deviations, then repeat validation.
    • Continue until the implementing agent finds zero unresolved medium+ issues.
  5. Then spawn a fresh-eye reviewer subagent.

    • Do not prime it with the implementing agent's conclusion.
    • Give it the source of truth, checklist, relevant final state/diff, and validation evidence.
    • It must independently assess:
      • checklist completeness;
      • actual satisfaction of every checklist item;
      • missing medium+ risks based on impact/severity/consequences.
    • It must report findings plus a 0–100% confidence score that the work is complete.
    • Any new medium+ finding must be added to the checklist, resolved, and the validation cycle repeated.
  6. Terminate successfully only when:

    • implementing agent: zero unresolved medium+ findings;
    • fresh-eye reviewer: zero unresolved medium+ findings;
    • fresh-eye reviewer provides its final confidence score. Otherwise continue the cycle or explicitly report unresolved/blocked items instead of declaring completion.

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.

checklist is a skill published in the GitHub repository griddynamics/rosetta (341 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 10 tokens to every session and 493 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 2026-08-30.
