validation

validation is a skill for Claude Code from iamcxa/kc-claude-plugins. It costs 23 tokens per session (576 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A validation step for the kc-dev-flow-2 development workflow. It checks a completed outcome against the selected project profile, the exact requested artifact, and the evidence accepted for that stage.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess whether a dispatched development outcome meets its recorded requirements and evidence limits.
Why use it?
It prevents a result from being accepted merely because it looks plausible or because unrelated evidence was used.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

validation 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 18d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 47 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Validation

Invocation: kc-dev-flow-2:validation

Package root: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} <package> in this skill and its linked files is this root. If the value above is not an absolute path, the root is two directories above this SKILL.md.

Read the framework for authority and stage ownership. Required inputs: the exact work item, recorded variant/profile, current stage, approved scope and the stage's available artifact/evidence. Resolve inconsistencies with FO rather than inferring a selection or loading another variant.

Profile routes

Profile Availability Profile principles Stage reference
poc active poc poc
pilot active pilot pilot
prod active prod prod

Select the recorded row and read its shared profile principles first, then stage principles, then that row's stage reference and relevant adopted project learning. A skip row means report the inapplicable dispatch; do not perform stage work or create an extra gate. Unknown profiles or missing references require a hold report, not a default route. Before useful work, a resumed or reused worker re-establishes these inputs and loads the current selected references. End the dispatch context with a short profile/boundary reminder rather than another copy of the rules. When work changes retained documents or behavior they describe, read retained-document practices. Return the stage output and unresolved decisions to FO in a stage report Spacedock 0.27.2 parses by exact form: a ## Stage Report: <stage> heading with nothing else on that line, then unindented - DONE: <item>, - SKIPPED: <item>, or - FAILED: <item> bullets — not - [x]. Checklist parsing stops at the first ### sub-heading, so put any ### sections after the bullets, not inside them. FAILED: marks only an item that was not met; a report with nothing failed has no FAILED: bullet, and a summary such as "FAILED: none" is never a bullet. This skill grants no state, approval or delivery authority.

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.
