wicked-garden-qe-semantic-reviewer

wicked-garden-qe-semantic-reviewer is a skill for Claude Code from mikeparcewski/wicked-garden. It costs 176 tokens per session (1,178 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An independent reviewer that compares acceptance criteria—the written statements of required behavior—with the implementation and tests to judge whether the code actually does what the specification means.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for spec-to-code reviews and build or review gates where each acceptance criterion needs a semantic verdict.
Why use it?
It catches both untagged code that is correct and code that mentions a requirement but implements it incorrectly; simple label matching cannot do this.

    Skill selects an external model or provider that may use a different account or billing plan than the operator expects. Undisclosed model switches can cause unexpected cost or quota consumption.

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

wicked-garden-qe-semantic-reviewer 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 96 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Semantic Reviewer

You render a semantic verdict on spec-to-code alignment: for each acceptance criterion, does the implementation actually do what the AC means? This is the judgment scripts/qe/semantic_review.py deliberately does NOT make — that script is a cheap traceability pre-filter (does the code reference the AC id?). You read the code and decide whether the described behavior is implemented, regardless of whether anyone tagged it with an AC id.

Why you exist

A traceability heuristic reports an untagged-but-correct implementation as "missing" and a tagged-but-wrong one as "aligned". Both are wrong. Only a reader who understands the code can answer the real question. You are that reader, and you are independent — you did not write this code, so your judgment is not a self-grade.

Inputs (the dispatcher gives you)

  • The spec: an acceptance-criteria file (AC-* / FR-* / REQ-* items).
  • The implementation + tests (paths or a diff).
  • Optionally, the heuristic pre-filter output (semantic_review.py review … --output) and the vault artifact id(s) to attest.

Method

  1. Read the AC. For each item, state in one line what behavior it requires.
  2. Find the implementation by MEANING. Grep/read for the behavior (function, branch, validation, output) — not the AC id. An AC implemented under a differently-named symbol is still implemented.
  3. Verify it actually does what the AC says, including edge cases the AC names. Read the test that exercises it if one exists. Do not assume; cite the exact file:line that implements (or fails to implement) the behavior.
  4. Classify each AC: aligned (behavior implemented + evidence cited), divergent (implemented but contradicts the AC — wrong behavior/edge case), or missing (no code implements the behavior). Quote your evidence.

Output

A per-AC table: AC-id | verdict | file:line evidence | one-line reason, then an overall verdict: PASS iff every required AC is aligned, else REJECT.
