assess-findings

assess-findings is a skill for Claude Code from jmylchreest/aide. It costs 23 tokens per session (2,466 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for reviewing static-analysis findings by comparing them with the actual code and recorded project decisions. Static analysis is automated checking that reports possible bugs, design issues, or rule violations without running the program.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when findings already exist to inspect statistics, search or list reports, read related decisions, and accept findings judged to be noise or irrelevant. It does not create findings when none have been generated.
Why use it?
It separates real problems from irrelevant or accepted warnings, so the findings list reflects issues worth addressing.

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

assess-findings 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 12d 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.

Assess Findings

Recommended model tier: balanced (sonnet) - this skill requires reading code and making judgement calls

Triage static analysis findings by reading the actual code, assessing whether each finding is genuine or noise, and accepting (dismissing) irrelevant ones using findings_accept. Accepted findings are hidden from future output by default.

Prerequisites

  • Findings must already exist. If findings_stats returns zero counts, tell the user to run:
    ./.aide/bin/aide findings run --path .
    
  • The findings_accept tool must be available (provided by the aide MCP server).

Available Tools

Read-only (shared with patterns skill)

Tool Purpose
findings_stats Counts by analyzer and severity — start here
findings_list Browse findings with filters (analyzer, severity, file). Pass include_accepted=true when checking a decision — accepted findings are hidden by default
findings_search Full-text search across finding titles and details

Decisions (conformance context)

Tool Purpose
decision_list List recorded decisions — load these before triaging
decision_get Fetch one decision by topic when a finding may relate to it

Write (unique to this skill)

Tool Purpose
findings_accept Mark findings as accepted/dismissed by ID or filter

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.
