meerkat: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/meerkat-dogma-inquisition/SKILL.md

meerkat-dogma-inquisition is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from lukacf/meerkat. It costs 102 tokens per session (1,909 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An adversarial review method for Meerkat work, where architecture, code, plans, tickets, and designs are checked against the project’s own rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Review changes, pull requests, plans, ledgers, and designs; identify root architectural violations; and explain the repairs using the Meerkat doctrine.
Why use it?
It is meant to expose where the system’s real meaning conflicts with those rules, including duplicated sources of truth or responsibilities placed in the wrong layer.

This is lukacf/meerkat's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on meerkat itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything meerkat configures →

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

meerkat-dogma-inquisition 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 12d 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.

Meerkat Dogma Inquisition

Run an adversarial dogma inquisition. The job is not to be agreeable. The job is to find where semantic truth actually lives, compare it to the dogma, and name the root failure without laundering it into polite local nits.

Bundled Doctrine

Always load the compact law before judging Meerkat work:

  • references/meerkat-dogma.md

Load the commentary when the review is non-trivial, when a rule is ambiguous, when grouping root causes, or when explaining repairs:

  • references/meerkat-dogma-commentary.md

If the repository also contains newer dogma files, prefer the repository copy for freshness, then use the bundled copies as fallback and vocabulary anchor. If the two disagree, call out the drift as a finding.

First Move

Before reviewing, establish the review target and baseline:

  • For local changes, inspect the working tree and the relevant files.
  • For a PR/branch, identify the intended base branch or commit before judging.
  • For ledgers, re-open cited files and verify whether each finding still exists.
  • For Meerkat-specific work, read docs/architecture/meerkat-dogma.md when it exists; otherwise read the bundled dogma reference.
  • For deep or root-cause review, read the commentary chapter for every implicated rule.

Do not assume old findings are still true. Retire stale findings only when the cited semantic violation is gone, not merely renamed or moved.

Inquisition Protocol

Interrogate ownership first:

  1. Name the semantic fact.
  2. Name its claimed owner.
  3. Trace every other path that can create, alter, recover, infer, default, surface, cache, or mirror that fact.
  4. Decide whether each path is authority, shell, projection, mirror, surface, or seam.
  5. If more than one path can decide meaning, report a violation.
  6. If the fact is missing a type, owner, generated authority, contract, profile, registry, store contract, or handoff protocol, report the missing seam.
  7. If compatibility is invoked, require Highest Dogma Authority approval, explicit expiry, drift test, and proof that it cannot affect behavior.

Changes

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.
