id-validate

id-validate is a skill for Claude Code from lukasrepublic/agentic-foundry. It costs 310 tokens per session (3,450 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only step that checks whether infrastructure configuration is well formed, consistently formatted, rendered correctly, and compliant with policy before merging.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for running OpenTofu validation and formatting checks alongside Kubernetes or Helm rendering and policy checks.
Why use it?
It catches syntax errors, formatting problems, rendering failures, and policy violations early in the change process.

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

id-validate 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 3d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 166 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

id-validate — read-only static VALIDATION of the change (infra-delivery step 6, RO)

The infra-delivery step sequence (a documented procedure this skill family forms — no workflow engine or state-machine file ships) drives an infra change → merge. Step 6 is the static-validation step for the everyday-change loop: a PROCEDURE skill the generic agent runs to statically validate the change before the test / plan / merge steps. It runs read-only structural + render/policy checks — tofu validate and tofu fmt (the IaC is syntactically well-formed + canonically formatted; both are directly on the loader's tofu read-role allowlisttofu read-only verbs = plan/validate/output/fmt) plus the active profile's existing read-only infra_binding.policy slot (the render + conftest/OPA evaluation: kustomize build / helm templatekubeconform + conftest). It surfaces violations (the malformed config, the lint diff, the failing policy rule) and records the validation observation as a .foundry/id-validate-report STEP-REPORT NOTE. It is a fast mistake-catcher feeding the operator + the downstream test/plan steps; the merge floor (the adopter's branch protection + CI checks — see docs/merge-floor.md) remains the only merge authority.

ADVISORY — not a gate (the merge floor is the merge authority)

This skill is ADVISORY. It surfaces violations + records a STEP-REPORT NOTE; it does NOT gate, approve, block, or merge. id-validate does NOT self-certify a PASS. Honest disclosure: the derive_walk_verdict machinery this note used to name as the GREEN-deciding authority over a FROZEN acceptance contract was retired and does not exist today. It is craft guidance FOR the trusted operator — a mistake-catcher for the missed tofu validate or the policy fail waved through — not a defense against them, and not a merge authority. The merge floor is the only merge authority.

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.
