inspect

A one-time deeper review triggered by a discovery that could affect other code, such as editing shared code or changing authentication. It checks related files, assumptions, side effects, test coverage, and possible rollback concerns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reviewing changes to shared utilities, infrastructure, authentication, migrations, or other work with a wider impact. You can also run it manually for the current change.
Why use it?
A change can work in its own file while breaking code that depends on it. This review expands attention only when the change reveals a reason to investigate further.

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

inspect 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 2d 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 — 168 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Inspect — Discovery-Led Depth

Inspect is not a mode. It is a set of checks that fire in response to a specific discovery. The discovery-led principle: active discovery pulls depth in, not the other way around — depth is not a dial you turn up before knowing what you are looking at.

When a System 1 signal (see Triggers below) surfaces, inspect pulls System 2 checks scoped to that specific signal. One discovery → depth on that discovery → checks resolve → back to default operation. No "inspect on / inspect off" state.

Manual invocation (/inspect) is still available when the user wants to force a depth pass without waiting for an auto-detected trigger — but even then, it runs once for the current change and exits.


What inspect does when triggered

Scope of a single depth pass

Default operation Depth pass fires
Changed files only Changed files + direct dependents
Tests pass? Tests pass + are tests covering the right cases?
Does it work? Does it work + what could it break?

The depth scope is bounded by the trigger. A "shared utility edit" trigger pulls depth into its dependents; it does not turn on "inspect mode" for the rest of the session.

Additional checks (on top of guard)

Four check types. A depth pass does not run all four by default — which check fires is determined by the trigger. Running all four regardless of trigger would violate the discovery-led principle (depth chosen without a specific discovery).

  1. Dependency trace: For each modified function/module, list callers and downstream consumers. Flag any that might behave differently.
  2. Side effect scan: State changes (DB writes, file writes, env mutations, global state) — are they intended? Are they reversible?
  3. Assumption audit: What does this code assume about its inputs, environment, or execution order? Are those assumptions documented or tested?
  4. Rollback viability: If this change goes wrong in production, how do you undo it? Is there a migration, a flag, a revert path?

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.

inspect is a skill published in the GitHub repository jun0-ds/sonmat (6 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed BSD-3-Clause. It adds 50 tokens to every session and 2,448 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-31.
