validate

validate is a skill for Claude Code from MedAdemBHA/docflow. It costs 44 tokens per session (258 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A documentation readiness check for DocFlow projects. It checks whether links, maps, headings, names, and required sections follow the applicable documentation profile.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after writing or changing docs, and after adding, renaming, or removing files; run it to identify blockers, warnings, and whether strict or adopted rules apply.
Why use it?
It catches broken or incomplete documentation before an agent reports the work as finished. It distinguishes blocking errors from cleanup warnings in existing documentation.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: shipped in a Claude Code plugin.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is bash scripts/docflow-validate.sh --target <REPO ROOT>.

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

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 1mo 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

validate

Goal: block objectively broken documentation before an agent reports work as complete.

Run

bash scripts/docflow-validate.sh --target <REPO ROOT>

If running from an installed plugin where scripts are not in the target repo, use the plugin script path.

Interpret

  • Errors are blockers. Fix them before saying the docs are complete.
  • Warnings are legacy/adoption cleanup. Report them, but they do not block unless the user asked for a strict cleanup.
  • Fresh scaffold placeholders are warnings because new repos intentionally start from templates.
  • strict is the native scaffold profile; adopted preserves established naming and section vocabulary.

Rules

  • Run after /docflow:author, /docflow:changelog, /docflow:repair, or any manual docs edit.
  • Regenerate INDEX.md before validation when files were added, renamed, or removed.
  • Keep the output concise: status, blockers, warnings worth acting on.
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.
