check

check is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from melodic-software/claude-code-plugins. It costs 209 tokens per session (2,203 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A deterministic checker for repository instruction rules, including path patterns and an always-loaded rules index.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it as a fast pass/fail check locally or in continuous integration (CI), which automatically checks changes for every commit or pull request.
Why use it?
It catches rules that match no files, contain invalid patterns, exceed supported limits, or are out of sync—failures that may otherwise remain silent.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

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

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 yesterday.

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

Pre-computed context

!"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/precompute.sh" check 2>/dev/null || echo "- Orientation unavailable"

Purpose

A gate, not an audit. It answers one question with one exit code: would every path-scoped instruction surface in this repository actually load when it is supposed to, and does the always-loaded index still describe what is on disk?

It exists because every failure mode here is silent. Claude Code does not warn when a rule's glob matches nothing, when a bracket expression is malformed, or when a pattern exceeded the brace budget and was used unexpanded. The rule simply never fires, and the convention it carries is quietly absent from every session that needed it. A repository can accumulate a dozen dead rules and look perfectly healthy.

Wire it into CI beside the linters. It is fast, deterministic, and has no judgment layer to drift.

What it checks

Check Mechanism Failure means
Glob resolves glob-tools.sh rules The rule never fires for any file in the repository
Bracket expressions valid same The pattern silently matches nothing
Brace budget respected same The pattern is used unexpanded; its braces match nothing
Glob not over-broad same Advisory. The rule loads so often it saves nothing
Index in sync render-index.sh check Deferred surfaces are unreachable from subagents
Index target loaded at all render-index.sh reachable The index exists and Claude Code never reads it

The last one is the newest and the least obvious. Claude Code reads CLAUDE.md, not AGENTS.md. A repository carrying both with no import between them gets a perfectly-generated, perfectly-in-sync index that never enters context, the entire subagent-gap mitigation doing nothing while every other check reports green. Sync and reachability are independent questions; ask both.

Over-broad is the one warning rather than a failure: breadth is a judgment about whether a demotion was worth making, not a statement that the rule is broken. Everything else is a hard fail.

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.

check is a skill published in the GitHub repository melodic-software/claude-code-plugins (14 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 209 tokens to every session and 2,203 once invoked, about $0.0010 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.
