Maple: Skill for Codex

.agents/skills/validate-maple/SKILL.md

validate-maple is a skill for Codex from OpenSecretCloud/Maple. It costs 78 tokens per session (4,388 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A validation guide for Maple software across frontend, Rust, web, desktop, mobile, integrations, and application boundaries.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when comprehensive, smoke, packaged, cross-platform, or end-to-end evidence is needed, especially for changes involving desktop communication or local services.
Why use it?
It separates unit tests and builds from observed runtime behavior and helps choose checks based on the parts a change crosses.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); mentions AGENTS.md; mentions Codex.

This is OpenSecretCloud/Maple's own configuration. It tells Codex how to work on Maple 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 Maple configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is nix develop --no-update-lock-file .#ci -c ./scripts/ci/frontend.sh.

Reuse

Borrowing it

Nothing to install: this file belongs to OpenSecretCloud/Maple. Take a copy, put it at the same path in your own repository, and replace the rules that are about this project with yours.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to high

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high Privilege Escalation · line 252
    Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.
    Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.
  • medium Rogue Agent · line 282
    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

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

validate-maple 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 2mo 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.

Validate Maple

Prove the behavior that changed. Treat automated checks, successful builds, and observed runtime behavior as different evidence. Never call a build or unit-test pass an end-to-end test.

Establish scope and identity

  1. Read AGENTS.md, the relevant source, nearby tests, and the applicable workflow or script before choosing commands.
  2. Inspect git status, the diff, and the base commit. Preserve unrelated user changes.
  3. Classify risk by behavior, not file path. Code under frontend/src/ can invoke Tauri commands and require native validation even though PR change detection may classify it as web-only.
  4. Identify every boundary the change crosses: browser, Tauri IPC, Rust, local process, filesystem, keyring, OpenSecret API, configurable billing or feature-flag API endpoint, operating system, or packaged resource.
  5. Record the untested boundaries before running checks. Add proof as it is obtained.

Use the repository's pinned Nix environments. Do not install substitute global tools merely to make a check pass.

Choose the validation tier

Use the highest tier triggered by the change. Add lower-tier checks rather than replacing them.

Tier 0: documentation and inert metadata

Use for prose, comments, or metadata that cannot affect a build or runtime.

  • Review the rendered or consumed result, links, examples, and commands.
  • Run nix flake check --no-update-lock-file when changing the flake, GitHub Actions, or release metadata.
  • Escalate to the owning tier when documentation changes an executable example, environment contract, or generated input.

Tier 1: isolated frontend behavior

Use for pure React, TypeScript, CSS, state, and browser behavior with no native or service boundary.

  • Run focused Bun tests while iterating.
  • Run the complete frontend CI script before handoff.
  • Build the PR-configured web artifact.
  • Smoke the changed state in a real browser. Cover loading, empty, success, error, and disabled states when relevant.
  • Test keyboard operation, focus, accessible labels, light/dark themes, and narrow/wide layouts when the change can affect them.

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.
