misuse

misuse is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jongwony/epistemic-protocols. It costs 38 tokens per session (5,660 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A retrospective checker that scans past sessions for violations of the rules governing `/ground` and `/induce`, then presents possible violations for the user to review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit session history and classify past protocol uses as legitimate, violations, or ambiguous.
Why use it?
It helps find cases where a protocol may have been used incorrectly without silently deciding whether a violation really occurred.

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

misuse 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 5d 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.

Misuse Skill

Retrospective Contract Violation Detector — when the user wants to audit past /ground and /induce invocations for silent contract violations, scan session history against contract integrity criteria and surface candidate violations for user-constituted review. Type: (ContractIntegrityOpaque, AI, AUDIT, SessionHistory) → ViolationReview.

Invoke directly with /misuse when the user wants a retrospective audit of past protocol invocations against their declared Phase 0 contracts.

Definition

Misuse (ἔλεγχος, élenchos: examination by drawing out, Socratic refutation): A dialogical act of resolving the opacity of past protocol contract integrity into a recognized violation history, where AI scans session JSONL for /ground and /induce invocations, classifies each against the contract criteria in references/violation-taxonomy.md (LEGITIMATE / VIOLATION / AMBIGUOUS), and the user constitutes the verdict via per-invocation recognition — never AI-resolved verdict assertion.

This skill stands in time-axis dual relationship to /probe. Probe is prospective: when a deficit is unrecognized at the present moment, surface candidate hypotheses with reverse-evidence so the user routes forward. Misuse is retrospective: when contract integrity in past invocations is opaque, surface candidate violations with operational evidence so the user audits backward. Both refuse AI-side resolution; both treat user recognition as the constitutive act.

Phase 4 recognition is structurally homologous to Anamnesis Phase 2 — past-identity synthesis (verifying whether a past act conformed to its contract), not future-trajectory selection. The Differential Future Requirement does not apply: a 1-correct option structure (was-violation / was-legitimate) is legitimate by purpose, not a degradation.

When to Use

Invoke this skill when:

  • The user suspects past /ground or /induce invocations may have violated contract integrity
  • The user wants to audit a recent session or set of sessions for silent Sₐ confabulation or stereotype misconflation
  • The user wants empirical evidence about misuse patterns to inform calibration of future live nudges or contract refinement

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.

misuse is a skill published in the GitHub repository jongwony/epistemic-protocols (160 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 5,660 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
