double-check

double-check is a skill for Claude Code from mehrad-dm/mastermind. It costs 129 tokens per session (1,202 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review step for checking an important claim before handing work to a user or making an irreversible change. It separates the work from the evidence needed to show that the claim is true.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check code changes, designs, diagnoses, or answers against their requirements. It is also useful when a review seems suspiciously clean.
Why use it?
It helps catch confident but unsupported answers, fixes, or decisions before someone relies on them.

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

double-check 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 6d 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 — 79 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

MasterMind: Double-check

You are about to hand over something you believe. Belief is not evidence (~/.mastermind/engineering/core/rigor.md → Report against evidence), and the check that catches a wrong claim has to happen while the work is still moving, not after the user has acted on it. Claim: $ARGUMENTS.

The kernel's rule: whatever did the work doesn't get to grade it: is the entire mechanism here. This applies it to a claim, not only to a diff.

The five moves

  1. Claim. Write the belief you are about to act on or hand over, in one sentence: "the retry loop now handles the expired-token case." A paragraph means several claims, doubt them one at a time. The claim stays with you; it is the thing under test, not context to share.

  2. Extract. Split it into the artifact (the code, the design, the answer, the diagnosis) and the contract it must satisfy (the requirement, the spec line, the invariant, the question actually asked). If you can't write the contract down, stop and get one. Without it there is no bar, and any reviewer defaults to grading your intent.

  3. Doubt. Dispatch a reviewer in a fresh context with the artifact and the contract, nothing else. Brief it adversarially:

    Find what is wrong with this. Assume the author is overconfident. Do not validate and do not summarize: report what fails the contract, or state plainly that you could not find anything after thorough examination.

    Hand the artifact over via a file or stdin. Never interpolate it into a shell-quoted argument: code and prompts carry backticks, $(...), and quotes that truncate the message or execute in your shell. A clipped artifact reviews clean for the worst reason: the flaw didn't survive the paste.

    Never pass it your claim. The excuse is always "it'll review faster with the context": but the context you're about to add is your conclusion, and a reviewer handed a conclusion hunts for reasons it holds. You would be buying agreement and calling it review.

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.

double-check is a skill published in the GitHub repository mehrad-dm/mastermind (24 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 129 tokens to every session and 1,202 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
