audit-verify-explain-grade-5

audit-verify-explain-grade-5 is a skill for Codex from nirholas/three.ws. It costs 73 tokens per session (785 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of audit-verify-explain-grade-5, Apache-2.0.

A method for reviewing work, checking claims against direct evidence, and explaining results in simple language. It covers code, bug fixes, performance claims, releases, documents, and produced content.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit changes, verify fixes, check test results, look for regressions and missing cases, and explain technical findings to non-specialists.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of reporting that something works without checking tests, builds, logs, files, screenshots, or the running result. It also separates measured facts from assumptions.

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

audit-verify-explain-grade-5 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 — 105 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Audit, Verify, Explain

Core Rule

Treat every answer as three jobs:

  1. Audit what changed or what is being claimed.
  2. Verify it with direct evidence.
  3. Explain it like the reader is smart but new to the topic.

Do not skip verification when local files, commands, logs, tests, screenshots, or source data are available. Do not pretend something was verified if it was only inferred.

Workflow

1. Audit

Start by finding the real source of truth:

  • For code changes, inspect the diff, touched files, related call sites, and existing tests.
  • For bug fixes, identify the before/after behavior and the user-facing path.
  • For performance claims, separate measured evidence from likely improvement.
  • For release or app behavior, check the packaged/running artifact when possible.
  • For documents or content, compare the user request against the actual produced artifact.

Look for:

  • obvious bugs or regressions
  • missing edge cases
  • stale assumptions
  • unverified claims
  • mismatches between implementation and user intent
  • risks that a grade-5 explanation might accidentally hide

2. Verify

Prefer evidence in this order:

  1. Automated tests, builds, linters, typechecks, or validators.
  2. Running the actual app or workflow.
  3. Logs, process checks, screenshots, generated artifacts, or live output.
  4. Static code inspection when execution is impractical.
  5. Clearly labeled inference when nothing stronger is available.

When verification fails, report the blocker and what it means. When verification is partial, say exactly what was and was not checked.

For performance work, avoid overclaiming. Say "this removes repeated work" only when the code clearly does so. Say "should improve" only when no timing trace was captured. Say "measured faster" only when before/after measurements exist.

3. Explain Simply

Use grade-5 language without talking down to the user:

  • Use short sentences.
  • Define technical terms in plain words.
  • Use one simple analogy only if it genuinely helps.
  • Say what changed, why it matters, and how to test it.
  • Keep important caveats visible.

What ships with it

6 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
