env-validator

env-validator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Mathews-Tom/armory. It costs 66 tokens per session (1,179 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A checker for project environment settings, such as values stored in a .env file and referenced by application code or deployment files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare .env files with code, example configuration files, Docker files, or Kubernetes deployment files.
Why use it?
It finds missing settings, incorrectly typed values, unsafe defaults, and unused entries before they cause the application to fail.

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

env-validator 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 145 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Env Validator

Validates environment variable configurations by cross-referencing .env files against project requirements. Catches missing variables, type errors, insecure defaults, and orphaned entries before they cause runtime failures.

Reference Files

File Contents Load When
references/validation-rules.md Built-in validation rules and severity definitions Always

Prerequisites

  • A .env file (or equivalent) in the project
  • Optionally: .env.example, docker-compose.yml, or deployment manifests for cross-referencing

Workflow

Phase 1: Discovery

Locate environment configuration sources in the project:

  1. Primary file: Find .env in the project root. If absent, check for .env.local, .env.development, .env.production
  2. Schema file: Find .env.example or .env.template — this defines the expected variables
  3. Code references: Grep for os.environ, process.env, env::var, os.Getenv patterns to find variables referenced in code
  4. Deployment manifests: Check docker-compose.yml, Dockerfile, k8s/ manifests for ${VAR} or ENV VAR patterns

Report what was found before proceeding.

Phase 2: Schema Extraction

Build the expected variable schema from discovered sources:

For each variable found across all sources, record:

Field Source
Name Variable name (e.g., DATABASE_URL)
Required Present in code references or marked required in example
Type hint Inferred from usage (URL, integer, boolean, string, path)
Default Value in .env.example if present
Used in List of files that reference this variable

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
