spekka: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/spekka-global-validation/SKILL.md

Global Validation is a skill for Claude Code from johnreitano/spekka. It costs 24 tokens per session (265 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for validating application input across the server and client. Validation checks that submitted data has the right type, format, range, and required fields.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing validation for web forms, APIs, background jobs, and other entry points, including sanitizing input and checking business rules.
Why use it?
It helps prevent invalid or unsafe data from being processed and gives users useful error messages. Server-side checks protect the application even when client-side checks are bypassed.

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

Global Validation 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 2mo 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.

What it actually says

Global Validation

This Skill provides Claude Code with specific guidance on how it should handle global validation.

Instructions

  • Validate on Server Side: Always validate on the server; never trust client-side validation alone for security or data integrity
  • Client-Side for UX: Use client-side validation to provide immediate user feedback, but duplicate checks server-side
  • Fail Early: Validate input as early as possible and reject invalid data before processing
  • Specific Error Messages: Provide clear, field-specific error messages that help users correct their input
  • Allowlists Over Blocklists: When possible, define what is allowed rather than trying to block everything that's not
  • Type and Format Validation: Check data types, formats, ranges, and required fields systematically
  • Sanitize Input: Sanitize user input to prevent injection attacks (SQL, XSS, command injection)
  • Business Rule Validation: Validate business rules (e.g., sufficient balance, valid dates) at the appropriate application layer
  • Consistent Validation: Apply validation consistently across all entry points (web forms, API endpoints, background jobs)
Changes

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.
