alignment-review

alignment-review is a skill for Claude Code from obielin/responsible-ai-skills. It costs 40 tokens per session (1,367 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A final review for an AI feature, model, or system before it is considered complete or a pull request is merged. It checks whether the result matches the original goal and responsible-AI requirements.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it as the last gate before shipping AI work or merging its pull request. It reviews goal alignment, fairness, bias, testing, and related safeguards.
Why use it?
It catches undocumented scope changes, missing fairness or bias work, and other issues before the feature reaches users.

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

alignment-review 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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/check_governance_docs.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 207 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Alignment Review

This is the last skill you run before declaring any AI work complete. It is a structured self-audit that catches responsible AI failures before they reach production or users.

You cannot mark this task done until every section is answered.


Section 1: Goal Alignment

The system must do what it was asked to do — and only that.

What was the original goal or requirement?
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────
[Write it here from memory, without looking at the spec]

Now check: does your implementation match?
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────
[ ] The system solves the stated problem
[ ] The system does not do anything beyond the stated problem
[ ] There are no undocumented side effects or data accesses
[ ] The system's scope has not expanded during implementation without approval

If any box is unchecked: stop. Discuss with the requester before proceeding.

Section 2: Fairness and Bias

[ ] bias-assessment skill was completed and findings documented
[ ] fairness-testing skill was completed and all tests are passing in CI
[ ] Disaggregated performance metrics are recorded
[ ] No protected group has performance below the defined minimum threshold
[ ] The bias assessment findings are committed to docs/

If any test is failing: you may not ship. Fix the model first.

Run the verification:

pytest -m fairness -v

All tests must pass. Green only.


Section 3: Explainability

[ ] explainability-by-default skill was completed
[ ] Every prediction or decision the system makes can be explained
[ ] The explanation has been reviewed by a non-technical person and understood
[ ] The explanation is accessible to the people affected by the decision
[ ] Limitations of the explanation are documented

Spot-check:

# Run this on 5 random test cases
for i in range(5):
    sample = test_df.sample(1)
    explanation = model.explain(sample)
    assert explanation['plain_english'] != ""
    print(f"Case {i}: {explanation['plain_english']}")

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.
