uat-procedure

uat-procedure is a skill for Claude Code from jonathanung/finesse. It costs 22 tokens per session (982 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A checkpoint procedure for Finesse planning sessions, where a user reviews work before the next planning phase begins. It defines the review format, response choices, and how feedback changes the plan.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a Finesse workflow reaches a user-acceptance checkpoint: summarise the work, list key decisions, explain the impact on later phases, and handle approval or requested changes.
Why use it?
It prevents a planning workflow from moving ahead before the user accepts its findings or decisions. It also keeps later phases aligned with feedback from the review.

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

uat-procedure 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 7d 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.

UAT Checkpoint Procedure

Phases marked [UAT] in the workflow sequences require a User Acceptance Testing checkpoint before proceeding. When you reach a [UAT] phase:

1. Present the phase output

Format the output for review using this structure:

UAT Checkpoint: [Phase Name]

  • What was done: 1-2 sentence summary of the phase's activity
  • Key findings / decisions: Bulleted list of substantive outputs (architecture choices, files identified, root cause hypothesis, etc.)
  • Impact on next phases: How this output shapes what comes next

2. Ask the user

Use AskUserQuestion with these 4 options:

  1. Accept — proceed to the next phase
  2. Provide feedback — re-run this phase incorporating the user's free-text feedback
  3. Make specific changes — apply the user's targeted edits to the phase output without re-running
  4. Accept and skip remaining UAT — auto-approve all future UAT checkpoints in this planning session

3. Handle the response

  • Accept: Proceed to the next phase.
  • Provide feedback: The user gives free-text feedback. Snapshot the current phase output, then re-run the phase from scratch incorporating their feedback as additional constraints. Generate a diff summary comparing the pre-feedback and post-feedback phase output (see Diff Summary Format below). Present the revised output at the same UAT checkpoint again, with the diff summary included under a "What changed since last review:" heading above the phase output.
  • Make specific changes: The user specifies targeted edits (e.g., "change the database from PostgreSQL to SQLite in the architecture"). Snapshot the current phase output, then apply the edits directly without re-running the full phase. Generate a diff summary comparing the pre-edit and post-edit phase output (see Diff Summary Format below). Present the revised output at the same UAT checkpoint again, with the diff summary included under a "What changed since last review:" heading above the phase output.
  • Accept and skip remaining UAT: Note that UAT is fast-forwarded. For all subsequent [UAT] phases, auto-accept and proceed without presenting the checkpoint. Discovery/Understanding phase confirmations are NOT affected by fast-forward — those always happen.

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.
