vacuity-check

vacuity-check is a skill for Claude Code from iansmith/slopstop. It costs 68 tokens per session (2,728 once invoked), scanned C, original, no licence file.

A test-checking skill that reruns named tests in a temporary worktree at the base commit, which is the code before the branch changes. It reports whether each test was already passing before the changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check tests by their node IDs, record their exit statuses, and classify them as vacuous, meaningful, or impossible to determine.
Why use it?
It distinguishes tests that genuinely check new behaviour from tests that would have passed anyway. This helps identify whether a test provides meaningful evidence for a branch.

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 C, and why

vacuity-check scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 6d 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

The source is not reproduced here

A licence we could not identify

The repository carries a LICENSE file, but it is custom or dual enough that GitHub cannot name it and neither can this catalogue. Unknown terms are not permission, so the body is not copied here. Read the licence at the source and decide for yourself.

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.
