parse-dont-validate

parse-dont-validate is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from j5ik2o/okite-ai. It costs 185 tokens per session (1,422 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code-review and design approach that replaces checks which merely report valid or invalid data with typed values that carry the result of the check.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when improving validation, refactoring code, or designing data handling in Rust, Haskell, TypeScript, Scala, Java, Go, or Python.
Why use it?
It reduces repeated checks and makes valid states harder to misuse later in the program.

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

parse-dont-validate 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 5d 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.

Parse, Don't Validate

情報を捨てるvalidationから、情報を保持するparsingへ変換する。

核心原則

チェック結果を捨てずに型で保持する。

アプローチ 戻り値 情報 問題
Validate () / void / bool 捨てる 再チェック必要、型が保証しない
Parse 型付き値 保持 一度のチェックで済む、型が保証

判断フロー

チェック関数を書こうとしている
    ↓
戻り値は何か?
    ├─ () / void / bool → Validateパターン(問題あり)
    └─ 新しい型 → Parseパターン(推奨)

アンチパターン検出

以下のパターンを見つけたら変換を検討:

❌ validate*() → ()
❌ check*() → bool
❌ assert*() → ()(表明目的以外)
❌ is*() → bool(分岐後に同じ値を使う場合)
❌ "should never happen" コメント
❌ case None/null の after 正常ケース

変換パターン

1. NonEmpty変換

// ❌ Validate: 情報を捨てる
function validateNonEmpty(list: string[]): void {
  if (list.length === 0) throw new Error("list cannot be empty");
}

// ✅ Parse: 情報を保持する
type NonEmptyArray<T> = [T, ...T[]];
function parseNonEmpty<T>(list: T[]): NonEmptyArray<T> {
  if (list.length === 0) throw new Error("list cannot be empty");
  return list as NonEmptyArray<T>;
}

2. 重複キー検出

// ❌ Validate: チェックして捨てる
function checkNoDuplicateKeys(pairs: [string, unknown][]): void {
  const seen = new Set<string>();
  for (const [key] of pairs) {
    if (seen.has(key)) throw new Error(`duplicate key: ${key}`);
    seen.add(key);
  }
}

// ✅ Parse: Mapに変換して保持
function parseToMap(pairs: [string, unknown][]): Map<string, unknown> {
  const result = new Map<string, unknown>();
  for (const [key, value] of pairs) {
    if (result.has(key)) throw new Error(`duplicate key: ${key}`);
    result.set(key, value);
  }
  return result;
}

3. Smart Constructor

// ❌ 外部から直接構築可能
pub struct Email(String);

// ✅ Parse: Smart constructorで検証済みを保証
mod email {
    pub struct Email(String);  // private field

    impl Email {
        pub fn parse(s: &str) -> Result<Self, ParseError> {
            if s.contains('@') && s.len() > 3 {
                Ok(Email(s.to_string()))
            } else {
                Err(ParseError::InvalidEmail)
            }
        }

        pub fn as_str(&self) -> &str { &self.0 }
    }
}

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.
