evidence-vault-chain-of-custody

evidence-vault-chain-of-custody is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Miosa-osa/OSA. It costs 137 tokens per session (1,329 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An evidence-management workflow for security engagements, with records showing where evidence came from and whether it was changed. It uses SHA-256, a method for checking file integrity, and requires real tool output before a finding is marked verified.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for recording evidence handling, verifying security findings, assigning CVSS severity scores, redacting credentials, and documenting retests.
Why use it?
It helps preserve trustworthy evidence, protect credentials in shared reports, and support severity decisions and authorised retesting.

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

evidence-vault-chain-of-custody 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 — 123 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Evidence Vault & Chain of Custody

Derived from T3MP3ST's src/evidence/ (Apache-2.0). The core principle: a claim is only as strong as its provenance. Prose is not evidence.

1. The provenance-strict verification gate

A finding may be marked verified ONLY when backed by real tool output. The gate is honest by construction — it never invents provenance, and it states why it blocked:

  • Tool evidence types that count: output, command, response, request, log, file — each with non-empty content. A human note or a narrative paragraph is context, not proof.
  • Zero tool evidence → FAIL with reason: "no tool-output evidence — provenance-strict requires a finding be backed by real tool output, not prose".
  • Severity must be earned: asserting critical or high with zero evidence of any kind is an overclaim and fails the gate.
  • Typed provenance: none (no evidence at all), context (notes only), tool (real output). Only tool passes.

Apply the same gate to your own work: before you report a finding to the operator, list the exact tool receipt (command output, HTTP pair, log line) that backs it. No receipt → report it as a lead, not a confirmed finding.

2. Chain-of-custody records

Every acquired artifact gets a record with these fields:

id, caseId, targetId, name, source, collectedAt, receivedAt,
sha256, sizeBytes, collector, transfer, verified, redactedMetadata

Rules the record enforces:

  • sha256 is computed at acquisition and re-verified on read (verified flag) — integrity is checked, not assumed.
  • collectedAt (when the artifact was taken) and receivedAt (when the vault accepted it) are separate timestamps; a gap is part of the record.
  • Duplicate artifact names within one acquisition are rejected — a vault that silently dedups is a vault that loses evidence.
  • Metadata is redacted at acquisition time (redactedMetadata), not later.
  • Acquisition outcomes are typed: collected | cancelled | permission-denied | collection-failed. Permission errors are their own outcome — never retried as if they were transient.

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.
