source-review

source-review is a skill for Claude Code from jason21wc/ai-governance-mcp. It costs 155 tokens per session (1,263 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A review method for comparing an outside source—such as an article, research paper, software project, talk, or framework—with an AI-governance project. It focuses on the underlying purpose of each idea, not just its wording.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess external sources, identify new or overlapping ideas, and prepare proposed additions to the project's influence or reference records.
Why use it?
It helps determine whether a source adds something genuinely new or repeats an idea the project already covers. It also shows where relevant findings could be recorded.

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

source-review 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 10d 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 — 47 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Runtime Context

After the skill loads, establish the project root and branch with ordinary read-only calls. INFLUENCES.md at the repo root is the attribution SSOT; verdicts are proposed for it and applied with any influenced method.

Instructions

You are reviewing an external source against ai-governance. The discriminating move is intent-abstraction: a surface item (a named principle/method/tool) can look novel while its intent is already covered, or look familiar while its intent is genuinely new. Intent is the unit of comparison. Read procedure.md in this skill folder for the full 6-phase protocol; this is the orchestration shell.

This skill proposes, it does not write — it has no Edit/Write tool. It returns a verdict report; the human applies the approved rows/items (per the INFLUENCES.md same-commit discipline).

Quick Start

  1. Collect the Runtime Context above and acquire the source. Accept whichever the user provides: pasted text, a local file path (Read), a URL (WebFetch), or a topic to find first (WebSearchWebFetch). If ambiguous, ask. For a long, local, or multi-page source, filter before you read: save or pipe the raw text and run python scripts/semantic_rank.py --raw --query "<review question>" --stats < source.md, then read only the top-ranked passages — do NOT ingest the full source into context first (the semantic filter runs before the content reaches you).

  2. Read procedure.md for the full protocol, then run all six phases in order:

    • (0) Governevaluate_governance(planned_action="review external source against governance").
    • (1) Ingest — load the source text.
    • (2) Extract (face value) — enumerate the discrete items (principles / methods / tools / claims); state "N items identified" (per rules-of-procedure §9.8.5 enumeration-verification).
    • (3) Abstract-to-intent — for each item write the intent: the failure-mode/goal above the surface (per meta-core-systemic-thinking + Intent Discovery). This is the crux.
    • (4) Coverage-check the intentquery_governance + search_references + query_project for each intent; apply the §9.8.2 Duplication Check.
    • (5) Classify + gate the "new" — map each intent to one of the four INFLUENCES categories or "genuinely new." For every "genuinely new" candidate, run the §9.8.1 Admission Test (7 Qs) and dispatch a contrarian-reviewer pass to guard against intellectual-generosity bias (LEARNING-LOG 2026-02-28).
    • (6) Propose — emit the verdict report; route each verdict per INFLUENCES.md "How to extend." Do not write.

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.
