gate-wiring

gate-wiring is a skill for Claude Code from Obsidian-Owl/specwright. It costs 40 tokens per session (1,805 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structural code check for changed files and the code connected to them. It looks for unused exported code, files that nothing uses, imports that cross forbidden architecture layers, and circular dependencies.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it during verification to inspect changed code for dead code, orphaned files, dependency cycles, and violations of the project's defined architecture layers.
Why use it?
Code can compile and pass tests while still being disconnected or arranged incorrectly. This check finds those structural problems and reports where they occur.

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

gate-wiring 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.

Gate: Wiring

Goal

Ensure the codebase is properly connected — no dead code, no orphaned files, no architecture violations. Code that compiles and passes tests can still be wired incorrectly.

Inputs

  • {projectArtifactsRoot}/config.json -- architecture layers, project structure
  • {repoStateRoot}/work/{selectedWork.id}/workflow.json -- selected work unit
  • Changed files (via git diff)

Outputs

  • Evidence file at {workDir}/evidence/wiring-report.md
  • Gate status in the selected work's workflow.json
  • Findings with specific file:line references and remediation

Constraints

Scope (MEDIUM freedom):

  • Focus on changed files and their immediate dependents.
  • Use git diff --name-only against main branch.

Analysis (HIGH freedom):

  • Delegate to specwright-architect for structural analysis.
  • The architect checks:
    • Unused exports: Public functions/types exported but never imported.
    • Orphaned files: Files not imported by anything in the dependency graph.
    • Layer violations: Imports crossing architecture layer boundaries (e.g., UI importing directly from database layer). Layers from config.json architecture.layers.
    • Circular dependencies: Import cycles that may cause runtime issues.
  • Use real tooling when available (e.g., madge, knip, ts-prune).
  • Fall back to LLM analysis when tools aren't configured.

Verdict (LOW freedom):

  • Follow protocols/evidence.md#verdict-rendering.
  • WARN severity for most findings (wiring issues rarely block functionality).
  • BLOCK only for circular dependencies in changed files.
  • This gate is advisory — it helps clean up, not block shipping.

Cross-unit integration (MEDIUM freedom, multi-unit only):

When verifying the final unit of a multi-unit design, run additional cross-unit wiring checks against the full feature diff. This catches integration issues invisible to per-unit analysis: missing cross-unit imports, interface mismatches, disconnected entry points.

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.

gate-wiring is a skill published in the GitHub repository Obsidian-Owl/specwright (9 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 1,805 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-31.
