quality-validation

quality-validation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from komluk/scaffolding. It costs 57 tokens per session (1,010 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A quality-checking skill for ResearchPacks and Implementation Plans, which are documents used to investigate a task and plan its implementation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to score research and plans against defined quality gates, check that APIs match, and verify completed code with the project's validation commands.
Why use it?
It catches missing information and planning defects before research moves to planning or planning moves to coding.

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

quality-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 4d 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.

Quality Validation Skill

Systematic validation ensuring ResearchPacks and Implementation Plans meet quality standards before implementation.

Auto-Invoke Triggers

  • ResearchPack completion requires validation
  • Implementation Plan requires validation before coding
  • User requests quality check
  • Proceeding to next workflow phase (quality gate)

Quality Gates

Gate 1: Research → Planning

  • Trigger: ResearchPack completion
  • Pass: Score ≥ 80
  • Fail: Block, return defects

Gate 2: Planning → Implementation

  • Trigger: Implementation Plan completion
  • Pass: Score ≥ 85 AND APIs match
  • Fail: Block, return defects
  • Note: the ≥ 85 plan gate / design review may run on the opus tier (architect/analyst on model: opus, effort: high) for higher rigor. See docs/model-tiers.md.

Gate 3: Implementation → Completion

  • Trigger: Code complete
  • Pass: your project's validate/lint/test command passes (e.g. npm run validate, pytest, make check, cargo test)
  • Fail: Trigger self-correction (max 3 attempts)

Actionability (10 pts)

  • Implementation checklist: 5 pts
  • Open questions identified: 5 pts

Implementation Plan Validation (100 pts, pass: 85)

Completeness (35 pts)

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.

quality-validation is a skill published in the GitHub repository komluk/scaffolding (15 stars, last pushed 28d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 57 tokens to every session and 1,010 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 2026-08-30.
