consistency-check

consistency-check is a skill for Claude Code from jaroslavsoucek-art/Giovanni. It costs 52 tokens per session (1,968 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only check for meaning conflicts across project memory, rules, decisions, agent descriptions, linked documents, and published pages. It proposes changes but does not apply them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check all enabled consistency rules, run one named check, limit staleness checks to a time window, and record the findings.
Why use it?
Automated file checks can confirm syntax while missing documents that disagree or links and decisions that have become outdated. This finds those cross-document inconsistencies.

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

consistency-check 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 today.

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 — 120 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/giovanni:consistency-check

Run the 8 semantic invariants that deterministic ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/lint.sh cannot reach (memory↔constitution drift, decisions↔constitution drift, agent roster description mismatch, topic shard cross-reference breakage, optional architecture audit staleness, decided-terms completeness, knowledge↔knowledge cross-doc drift, published-pages outbound drift). This command is a thin shell — checks and report format live in the giovanni:consistency-checker agent. This file is the invocation contract.

Usage

/giovanni:consistency-check                          # all enabled checks
/giovanni:consistency-check --check <id>             # single check
/giovanni:consistency-check --since <YYYY-MM-DD>     # narrows git-log scan window for staleness checks
/giovanni:consistency-check --write                  # commit findings to file (default = also writes; flag is reserved for future render-only mode)

Valid --check ids:

  • memory-blockers-vs-constitution
  • decisions-vs-constitution
  • agent-roster-semantic
  • topic-shard-stakeholder-xref
  • audit-staleness (optional — only if fork uses architecture tier audits)
  • decided-terms-completeness (no-op with INFO if memory/audits/consistency/decided-terms.yaml is absent)

Argument syntax

Arg Type Default Meaning
--check <id> parameterized all Run a single check by ID instead of all enabled checks.
--since <YYYY-MM-DD> parameterized date 30 days ago For staleness check (audit-staleness): limits the git-log window. Ignored by other checks.
--write boolean flag implicit (always writes report) Reserved for future render-only mode. Default behavior writes the report file.

Pre-flight (binding — STOP on failure)

Before spawning giovanni:consistency-checker:

  1. CWD check. Working directory is a Giovanni repo (presence of memory/CLAUDE_MEMORY.md + knowledge/<constitution>.md). Otherwise STOP.
  2. Agent definition present. ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/agents/consistency-checker.md exists. Missing → STOP.
  3. Audit directory present. memory/audits/consistency/ exists. Create if missing (this is the only directory the orchestrator creates pre-spawn).
  4. State file present. memory/audits/consistency/_state.md exists with a non-empty shadow_mode_start_date field. If missing or empty:
    • Auto-seed: set shadow_mode_start_date = today, shadow_mode_end_date = today + 28 days.
    • Surface advisory: INFO: seeded shadow mode 28d from today. Score precision before promoting to operational warnings.
  5. Constitution + L1 present. knowledge/<constitution_file>.md (per docs/governance.config.yaml) and memory/CLAUDE_MEMORY.md exist. Missing → STOP — the checks have no input.

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.

consistency-check is a skill published in the GitHub repository jaroslavsoucek-art/Giovanni (2 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 1,968 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-10-17.
