skill-comply

skill-comply is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jxoesneon/Ciel. It costs 24 tokens per session (559 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A testing framework for checking whether agents follow written skills and rules. It turns those rules into expected actions and compares them with the agent's actual tool-use timeline.

In plain words
What is it for?
Generating behavioural specifications, measuring compliance, reviewing tool-call traces, and detecting rule drift.
Why use it?
It reveals when an agent skips required steps, performs them in the wrong order, or behaves differently under different kinds of prompts.

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

skill-comply 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 9d 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

CIEL ADAPTATION: Skill Comply (Quality Audit)

This skill provides the data-backed answer to the question: "Is CIEL actually following its own rules?" It measures compliance by auto-generating scenarios and analyzing tool-call timelines against established behavioral specs.

Core Concepts

1. Spec Generation

The system auto-generates a "Behavioral Spec" from any .md rule or skill file, defining the expected sequence of actions (e.g., "Must grep_search before replace").

2. Prompt Independence

Compliance is measured at three strictness levels:

  • Supportive: The user explicitly asks to follow the rule.
  • Neutral: The user asks for a task without mentioning the rule.
  • Competing: The user's request subtly conflicts with the rule (testing resilience).

3. Classification

The system runs the agent and captures the full tool-call trace. It then uses an LLM (not regex) to classify each tool call against the Spec steps and verify the temporal ordering.

Reporting

The final report provides:

  • Compliance Score: % of steps correctly followed per strictness level.
  • Tool Timeline: A visual trace of actions vs. expected behavior.
  • Drift Detection: Identification of where the agent began to "hallucinate" or skip mandatory gates.

Usage

  • Run /skill-comply <path> to audit a specific rule or skill.
  • Used periodically by the Orchestrator to identify "soft" skills that need to be hardened or promoted into more rigid hooks.

Anti-Patterns

  • Vibes-Based Auditing: Claiming a rule is followed because "it looks right" instead of checking the tool trace.
  • Regex-Only Graders: Using brittle regex to find tool calls, missing the semantic intent of the agent.

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.
