midas-harness: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/midas-tribunal/SKILL.md

midas-tribunal is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from okuzpe/midas-harness. It costs 78 tokens per session (1,897 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A structured adversarial review in which opposing sides debate a project's ideas, market, architecture, scope, rules, and code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run on-demand project debates, judge claims, and save debate records and proposed actions to the project's run files.
Why use it?
It exposes weaknesses and records ranked findings before major decisions such as approving, freezing rules, or shipping.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); mentions AGENTS.md.

This is okuzpe/midas-harness's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on midas-harness itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything midas-harness configures →

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

midas-tribunal 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 12d 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.

midas-tribunal — whole-project adversarial debate

Guard + state: <paths.engine>/templates/skill-state-ritual.md (+ AGENTS.md § Safety / Path resolution). Read paths.state. No artifacts on disk → report nothing to try and stop.

Does / Does not

Does Does not
Argue whether decisions are right across {product}/*, rules, src/* Advance stage or set gate: passed
Freeze ranked findings to {runs}/debates/debate-NN.md Grade its own arguments (producer ≠ judge)
Propose findings→action bridge on user go-ahead Replace /close-sprint (that audits diff vs frozen rules)

Standing tribunal at any stage. You convene and judge; debaters are build/scout tiers. Recommended checkpoints (from /midas-status, never forced): pre-go/no-go, pre-rules-freeze, pre-ship. Research rationale: <paths.engine>/research/debate-method.md. Record shape: <paths.engine>/templates/debate-record.md; shared audit fragments: <paths.engine>/templates/audit-checklists.md.

Lenses (parallel seats → synthesize)

Activate per scope; one persona + provocation + on-disk target each:

Lens Provocation Target
Premortem "12 months out, failed — why?" whole
Skeptic "Why build this?" {product}/idea.md
Inverter "What guarantees failure?" {product}/roadmap.md
Economist "Does the model close?" {product}/business-plan.md
Competitor "Why won't an incumbent crush this?" {product}/market.md — when track: lite and the file is missing, skip this lens or use {product}/idea.md + {product}/business-plan.md; do not fail the skill
User "Would a real user switch?" idea + {product}/design-system.md
Design Critic "Distinctive or generic slop? Logo-swap pass?" {product}/design-direction.md + design-system + <paths.engine>/rules/visual-design.md § Product authenticity + UI src/* (+ {runs}/design/ if any)
ATAM "Risks, sensitivity, tradeoffs?" {product}/architecture.md + adr/*
Maintainer "Will the next dev curse this?" {product}/adr/*
Security (STRIDE) "Where do I get in?" <paths.engine>/rules/security.md + src/*
Reliability "What fails silently till prod?" architecture + <paths.engine>/rules/testing.md
Simplifier "What survives the cut?" roadmap + rules + scope

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.
