critic-comms-completeness

critic-comms-completeness is a skill for Claude Code from iampawan/Manifest. It costs 49 tokens per session (805 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review skill that checks whether each user-facing behavior explains what people see when data is empty, loading, successful, or fails. Comms states are the messages and notifications for these situations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it during contract review to verify clear, actionable interface copy and notifications for every user-facing behavior.
Why use it?
It catches features that technically work but leave users unsure what happened, especially when an error message is vague or missing. Server-only behavior is excluded from this check.

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

critic-comms-completeness 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 7d 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 — 93 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Comms-completeness critic

Protocol: Follow reference/CRITIC-RULES.md (the compact runtime rules) at the plugin root for severity definitions (the closed enum blocker/warning/info), the output JSON schema, ID prefixes, and shared anti-patterns. This skill defines only WHAT to look for. Do not invent severities like "high"/"medium" — the validator rejects them. Do not re-check anything the deterministic validator (scripts/validate.mjs) already covers; add the judgment layer on top.

Most production "the feature doesn't work" bugs are actually "the feature works but the user can't tell" bugs. This critic catches them before the spec ships.

Contextual (handled by the validator). commsStates is required only for user-facing behaviors; server-only behaviors (platforms all server/backend) are exempt — don't flag them for missing states. Field presence for user-facing behaviors is the validator's job; yours is the judgment layer: is the error copy actionable, on-brand, and specific (not "Something went wrong")?

What to check

1. Every behavior has commsStates

Each ### B<N> should declare:

- commsStates:
    empty:    "<what user sees when state is empty>"
    loading:  "<copy or shimmer description for in-flight>"
    success:  "<confirmation copy or toast text>"
    error:    "<error message — must be actionable>"

Missing any field → blocker with a draft string the author can edit.

2. Error messages are actionable, not blame-y

Error copy should say what the user can DO, not what went wrong in abstract terms. Flag if the error text:

  • says "Something went wrong" with no recourse
  • blames the user without giving an out
  • exposes implementation details ("HTTP 500", "null pointer")

3. Notifications follow the behavior

If a behavior triggers a notification (push, email, in-app), there must be a notification fragment or sub-field describing:

  • Channel (push / email / in-app / SMS)
  • Trigger condition
  • Body copy
  • Deep link target

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.
