behavior-validator

behavior-validator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from OutlineDriven/odin-claude-plugin. It costs 59 tokens per session (1,007 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of behavior-validator, Apache-2.0.

A black-box checker for a web app, command-line tool, API, or generated artifact. It tests a supplied behavior contract through observable results without reading the source code or build details.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to validate URLs, CLI commands, API endpoints, or generated files against defined inputs and expected outputs.
Why use it?
Source review does not prove that a running system behaves as required. This checks each stated expectation and reports whether it passed, failed, was blocked, or was out of scope.

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

behavior-validator 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 1mo 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.

Behavior validator

Contract

Field Bound contract
Trigger User needs a code-review-agnostic skill to validate a web app, CLI, API, or generated artifact against a source-blind behavior contract, or as a black-box companion to a code-aware review
Authority Read-only. No file, VCS, credential, paid, published, deployed, or remote mutation. Reads only the runtime output of the target; never reads source code, repository state, or build internals
Side effect Produces a structured behavior validation report. No mutation of the target, source, or workspace beyond emitting the report
Done Every contract clause has an observable result; the report correctly reflects real-time behavior and no implementation evidence contaminated the validation

Inputs

  • A behavior contract: a list of clauses, each with an identifier, a stimulus, and an expected observable outcome. Must be supplied.
  • A target descriptor: how to reach the subject — a URL, a CLI invocation, an API endpoint, or an artifact path. Must be supplied.
  • Optional: authentication material (tokens, headers), environment variables, seed data, or a run budget.
  • Source code, repository state, and build internals are never inputs and must not be read.

Procedure

  1. Parse the contract into clauses. Reject any clause whose expected outcome references source structure (file names, function names, internal types, line numbers) — mark it out-of-scope, because source-blind validation cannot observe implementation structure. Done when: all clauses are parsed and source-referencing clauses are marked out-of-scope.
  2. Establish source-blind isolation for the whole run: do not read, list, grep, or otherwise inspect source files, repository state, or build internals. Operate only against the target's runtime surface. Done when: source-blind isolation is established and maintained.
  3. For each in-scope clause, construct a probe from its stimulus: an HTTP request, a CLI invocation, an API call, or an artifact inspection limited to observable output. Done when: every in-scope clause has a constructed probe.
  4. Apply anti-cheat probes per clause: re-run the stimulus with perturbed and edge inputs (empty, oversized, malformed, reordered, boundary values) to distinguish genuine behavior from hardcoded or coincidental outputs. Record whether the outcome is stable across the perturbations. Done when: every clause has its anti-cheat stability flag recorded.
  5. Execute each probe against the live target and capture only the observable result (status code, headers, stdout/stderr, exit code, rendered output). Redact secrets and personally identifying information from every captured evidence excerpt. Done when: every probe is executed with redacted evidence captured.
  6. Classify each clause: pass (observed outcome matches the expected outcome), fail (observable mismatch), blocked (target unreachable or probe could not execute), out-of-scope (clause not observable from the runtime surface). Done when: every clause has its classification assigned.
  7. Assemble the report mapping each probe category to its clause result, attaching the redacted evidence excerpt and the anti-cheat stability flag. Done when: the report maps every clause to its result with evidence and stability flag.
  8. Stop. Do not widen scope, patch the target, read source to explain a result, or infer an expected outcome the contract did not state. Done when: the report is emitted and no scope widening, patching, or source reading occurred.

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.
