recheck-against-upstream

recheck-against-upstream is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from melodic-software/claude-code-plugins. It costs 114 tokens per session (1,378 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for checking code, configuration, documentation, and infrastructure against the current official documentation they depend on.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit whether work still follows current upstream rules and to report any divergence.
Why use it?
Existing work can become outdated when upstream projects rename options, change defaults, or remove old approaches. It helps identify and classify those differences.

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

recheck-against-upstream 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 — 105 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Recheck against upstream

A drift corrector for the discipline that existing state does not vouch for itself. The method, re-anchor, audit the work in flight, correct forward, report, and the tone that firing this is not an accusation, lives in ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/context/re-anchor-audit-correct.md. Read it; this file adds only what is specific to upstream-conformance discipline.

The discipline this re-anchors

Existing state, a config file, a code path, a runbook, an infra definition, is evidence of what is, never proof that it matches the upstream it depends on. Upstream ships new defaults, renames flags, deprecates APIs, and obsoletes yesterday's workaround; the state that was correct when written silently rots. Resolve the source of truth per the method doc's ladder: if the consuming project states an upstream-conformance rule in its own CLAUDE.md / .claude/rules/, re-anchor THAT. Otherwise re-anchor this portable baseline:

  • Present state is not self-justifying. "It's already configured this way" and "the code does X" describe the state; neither shows it still matches upstream. Conformance is a claim to verify, not to assume.
  • Compare against the CURRENT official upstream, fetched now. Re-read the vendor's live documentation for the surface in play this session, never training-data recall of it, never a stale in-repo summary of it.
  • Resolve the applicable upstream version first. When the repo pins a supported major/minor, compare against the docs for THAT version. The latest docs can legitimately prescribe APIs and defaults the pin does not have. Divergence between the pinned line and latest is its own finding (upgrade candidate or deliberate hold), never a false gap against the pin.
  • Unverified conformance is not "clean". A surface you did not compare is unaudited, not passing. Report what was compared and what was skipped; do not launder the unchecked into a green result.

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.

recheck-against-upstream is a skill published in the GitHub repository melodic-software/claude-code-plugins (15 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 114 tokens to every session and 1,378 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 2026-09-03.
