audit-progressive-disclosure

audit-progressive-disclosure is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from melodic-software/claude-code-plugins. It costs 259 tokens per session (3,218 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only checker for how agent instruction documents are loaded and organized. It looks at content loaded every session, when a skill is used, or only when requested.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, rules, skills, and their supporting documents.
Why use it?
It finds instructions that cost too much context or are hard to locate when needed.

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

audit-progressive-disclosure 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 yesterday.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/detect.sh, scripts/detect.test.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 161 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Pre-computed context

Current branch: !git branch --show-current 2>/dev/null || echo "unknown" Uncommitted .md files (sample, first 10; empty = none matched or the probe returned nothing): !git status --porcelain >/dev/null 2>&1 && { git status --porcelain 2>/dev/null | grep -E '\.md"?$' | head -10; :; } || echo "(git status unavailable)"

Purpose

Agent-facing instruction markdown, CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md, .claude/rules/, skill/agent/command bodies, their bundled spokes, has a load cost set by its tier: always-loaded content is paid every session, invocation-loaded content recurs for the rest of the session once triggered, and on-demand content is free until read. This skill audits both directions of that economy: content that should move DOWN a tier (split opportunities), and existing hub/spoke structures whose pointers no longer let an agent pull exactly the file it needs (structure defects). It is a read-only classifier: findings carry treatment guidance; the author applies every edit.

Full tier tables, official numbers, split triggers, and pointer-quality criteria: read context/tier-model.md when adjudicating any finding that needs the exact threshold, routing rule, or citation posture (Anthropic-prescribed vs corroborated vs community).

Finding shapes and treatments

Lane Shape What it looks like Default tier Treatment
split oversize File at/approaching its tier's size guidance (SKILL.md approaching 500 lines; CLAUDE.md above ~200; references per the TOC bands). Ceilings, not targets. Size alone below the cap is no finding 2 Add a hierarchy layer: name the sections to push into spokes, each behind a conditioned pointer
split mixed-concerns Mutually-exclusive contexts co-resident (content that never co-executes), category straddle, multi-topic rules file, cross-file contradiction 2 Split by concern. One topic per file; name the proposed split seams
split tier-mismatch Content at the wrong tier: a procedure grown inside CLAUDE.md (→ skill), path-local rules in a global file (→ scoped rule), reference detail inline in a hub (→ spoke), always-loaded content not needed every session (→ demote behind a pointer) 1 when an official routing rule decides it; else 2 Route down-tier per the rule; the finding names source section and destination surface
structure blind-pointer Pointer with no when-to-read clause, unmarked execute-vs-read intent, or a vague target name (doc2.md, utils) 2 Attach the condition and intent; rename the target descriptively. On skill descriptions, a missing when-NOT-to-use clause is advisory color (community-sourced), never a violation
structure orphan-spoke Bundled spoke no hub references. Unreachable by pointer 2 3-way: add the missing pointer, merge the content up, or delete the spoke
structure deep-nesting Spoke-to-spoke chain, required reading more than one level from the hub (documented partial-read failure) 2; 1 when the chain is the only path to required content Re-link the deep target directly from the hub, or flatten
structure missing-toc Reference file >300 lines with no TOC = definite; 100–300 lines with none = awareness only, citing the official 100-vs-300 conflict 1 (>300) / 3 (100–300) Add a TOC at top (or a grep recipe for lookup-shaped content)

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.

audit-progressive-disclosure is a skill published in the GitHub repository melodic-software/claude-code-plugins (15 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 259 tokens to every session and 3,218 once invoked, about $0.0013 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 2026-09-03.
