e2e-validation

e2e-validation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from nexus-substrate/nexus-agents. It costs 146 tokens per session (1,509 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A real-world test of the major features of the nexus-agents system, from research and planning through development workflows, memory, and auditing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after releases, periodically, or when a behavior claim is uncertain. It runs end-to-end tasks and records differences between actual results and the code or documentation.
Why use it?
It finds failures that isolated unit tests may miss by checking whether the complete workflows work together with live adapters.

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

e2e-validation 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 5d 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 — 109 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

End-to-End Validation Skill

Unit tests prove a function does what its test says. They do not prove the real loops work: that the live voter panel actually returns 7 votes, that run_dev_pipeline wires every stage, that routing picks a reachable adapter, that the audit chain verifies. This skill runs the real loops with live adapters and compares observed behavior against what the code, docs, and recent "fixed" claims assert. Where reality diverges, it files a tracked issue.

Why this exists: this is dogfooding for validation, not implementation. dogfooding-issues implements open issues; dev-pipeline runs one pipeline; system-review is a static health check. This skill is the periodic real-usage smoke test of the whole substrate.

When to run

  • After every release (a published version is a claim that the loops work).
  • Weekly, or once ≥3 behavior-affecting fixes have landed since the last run.
  • On demand when a claim is in doubt (e.g., "the voter race is fixed").

Record the trigger in the report. One run per trigger is enough — don't loop it.

Preconditions (fail closed)

  1. Live adapter required. Confirm at least one real CLI/model adapter is authenticated (nexus-agents doctor). This skill validates real behavior — never use consensus_vote { simulateVotes: true } (random output, #2319) or any simulate/mock path. If no live adapter is available, record every step as BLOCKED and stop — do not fabricate a pass.
  2. Cost awareness. Real loops spend tokens. If work is cost-gated, note it and get authorization before the full run; a reduced run (e.g. --quick votes, dryRun pipelines) is an acceptable partial — label it as such.
  3. Note the versions. Capture the installed nexus-agents version and git SHA so the report is reproducible.

The loop — exercise every feature family

Pick one real, non-trivial seed task (a genuine backlog item works best, so the run produces real value). Drive it through the families below, capturing the actual tool output each step. Don't paraphrase success — paste/observe the real result and judge it.

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.

e2e-validation is a skill published in the GitHub repository nexus-substrate/nexus-agents (18 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 146 tokens to every session and 1,509 once invoked, about $0.0007 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 2026-08-30.
