dale-proof

dale-proof is a skill for Codex from lubluniky/dale. It costs 127 tokens per session (1,530 once invoked), scanned A, original, MPL-2.0.

A verification skill for testing whether a technical claim is actually supported by fresh, reproducible evidence. It labels claims as proven, partly proven, unproven, or contradicted.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for checking implementations, migrations, deployments, compatibility boundaries, and other technical claims without changing the system.
Why use it?
It separates direct evidence from assumptions, source lists, and checks that do not prove real runtime behavior. It is read-only by default and does not repair what it finds.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: mentions subagents; mentions Codex; $skill-name invocation.

Good fit It is for checking implementations, migrations, deployments, compatibility boundaries, and other technical claims without changing the system.

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

dale-proof 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 11d 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.

Dale Proof

Establish what the available evidence actually proves. Work backward from a technical claim to the shortest decisive observation; never promote source inventory, green secondary checks, or plausible reasoning into runtime truth.

Verify without repairing

  • Treat the supplied result as an object to verify, not a request to fix it. Diagnose or implement only when the user separately asks.
  • Default to read-only inspection and non-destructive validation. Do not deploy, restart, promote, mutate production data, alter configuration, or perform a real external transaction merely to obtain proof.
  • Preserve dirty worktrees and live systems. Never mutate Git, expose secrets, print raw environment values, or capture sensitive payloads.
  • Stay in the current task. Do not create Codex tasks, subagents, or review swarms merely to make the verdict look independent.
  • Describe same-agent verification honestly. Dale Proof checks evidence but does not provide reviewer independence; use a separately authorized review workflow when independence itself is an acceptance criterion.
  • Ask for new authority only when the decisive signal requires a sensitive, destructive, or externally mutating action. Otherwise gather the strongest safe evidence available and bound the verdict accordingly.

Read references/proof-contract.md completely before gathering evidence.

Build the proof

1. Normalize the claim

Preserve the user's original claim before bounding it. Split it into atomic material claims without dropping quantifiers, named environments, side effects, user-visible outcomes, or forbidden outcomes. Map every material phrase from the original claim to an atomic claim or an explicit uncovered obligation. For each atomic claim record:

  • exact subject and expected behavior;
  • target environment, revision, identity, and time window;
  • success and failure observations;
  • forbidden side effects;
  • strongest available primary signal;
  • inaccessible surfaces that limit certainty.

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.
