evaluate-sdlc-layers

evaluate-sdlc-layers is a skill for Claude Code from Jamie-BitFlight/claude_skills. It costs 95 tokens per session (1,574 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A checklist-based evaluator for an SDLC layer-separation architecture, where SDLC means the software development life cycle and layer separation keeps different kinds of project information distinct.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run structured validation, produce pass/fail findings, and optionally apply safe fixes for obvious reference or metadata problems.
Why use it?
It finds broken references, missing documentation, incomplete metadata, integration gaps, and inconsistencies between implementation and plans.

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

evaluate-sdlc-layers 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 9d 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 — 143 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Evaluate SDLC Layers

Systematically evaluate the SDLC Layer Separation Architecture implementation and support iterative improvement. Treats the implementation as first-pass until validated.

Arguments

  • --dry-run — Run all checks, produce report only. Do not apply fixes.
  • --fix — After evaluation, apply safe fixes for broken references, missing metadata, or obvious gaps. Report what was changed.
  • (no args) — Evaluate and produce report; offer to fix or delegate fixes.

Evaluation Checklist

Run each check and record PASS / FAIL / SKIP with evidence.

1. Cross-Reference Validation

For each linked path in plugins/development-harness/docs/sdlc-layers/ and related docs:

  • sam-definition.md — exists at plugins/development-harness/skills/work-backlog-item/references/sam-definition.md
  • plugins/development-harness/CLAUDE.md — exists
  • stateless-agent-methodology/research/arl/PROVENANCE.md — exists (sibling repo or configured path)
  • Layer 0 docs → TASK_FILE_FORMAT.md — exists at plugins/development-harness/docs/TASK_FILE_FORMAT.md
  • Layer 1 → language-manifest-schema.md, role-resolution-protocol.md — exist in development-harness
  • Layer 2 → plugins/development-harness/docs/sdlc-layers/layer-2/ — exists with README, schema, pilot profiles
  • Layer-0 redirect stubs (artifact-conventions.md, task-file-format.md, sam-pipeline.md, arl-touchpoints.md) contain redirect pointers to canonical locations. Validate each redirect target exists.

Evidence: List each path checked and result (exists / 404 / wrong content).


2. Doc Completeness

  • Layer 0 content files (6): README, rt-ica-gate, verification-protocol, evidence-discipline, orchestrator-discipline, context-fit-complexity
  • Layer 0 redirect stubs (4): sam-pipeline, arl-touchpoints, artifact-conventions, task-file-format — each must contain a redirect pointing to its canonical skill reference location
  • Layer 1: All 6 docs present (README, layer-1-overview, language-manifest-template, linting-discovery-protocol, workflow-pattern-taxonomy, harness-role-mapping)
  • Layer 2: README, layer-2-overview, stack-profile-schema, stack-profile-template; pilot profiles python-fastapi, python-cli
  • ARL: arl-meta-layer.md, arl-human-probing-design.md

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.
