verify-counts

verify-counts is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ldayton/Dippy. It costs 12 tokens per session (374 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A documentation-checking workflow for numerical claims. It compares stated counts with values found in the project's tests, allowlists, and command-line handlers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check claims such as test totals, safe-command counts, tool counts, and handler counts, and label each as passing, stale, or incorrect.
Why use it?
It helps find documentation numbers that are false or outdated as the codebase changes.

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

verify-counts 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.

What it actually says

Verify all count assertions in documentation against actual values.

Claims to Verify

Location Claim Verification
README.md:14 14,000+ tests Dippy + Parable combined
../Dippy.wiki/Reference/Security-Model.md:79 Over 200 read-only commands SIMPLE_SAFE count
../Dippy.wiki/Reference/Security-Model.md:94 Over 80 tools CLI handler count
../Dippy.wiki/Reference/Handler-Model.md:210 80+ handlers CLI handler count

Verification Commands

Dippy tests:

uv run pytest --collect-only -q 2>/dev/null | tail -1

Parable tests: Check table in /Users/lily/source/Parable/tests/README.md

SIMPLE_SAFE count:

uv run python -c "from src.dippy.core.allowlists import SIMPLE_SAFE; print(len(SIMPLE_SAFE))"

CLI handlers:

ls -1 src/dippy/cli/*.py | grep -v __init__ | wc -l

Output

Report each claim with:

  • Documented value
  • Actual value
  • Status (PASS/FAIL/STALE)

Status Criteria

  • PASS: Actual value is within ~10% of documented value
  • STALE: Claim is technically true but significantly outdated (e.g., "50+" when actual is 77)
  • FAIL: Claim is false

If any claim is STALE or FAIL, note which file(s) need updating.

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.
