ariadne:validator

ariadne:validator is a skill for Codex from pariyar07/ariadne. It costs 46 tokens per session (2,130 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command-line checker for a Markdown knowledge vault, which is a folder of linked notes. It checks note metadata, links, unused files, organization rules, and optional Obsidian views.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check whether a vault is valid, connected, and ready for continued agent use, including a selected folder or research area.
Why use it?
It finds structural problems that can make an agent-maintained note collection difficult to navigate or maintain.

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

ariadne: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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 12 executable files (scripts/scope-topology/findings.js, scripts/scope-topology/index.js, scripts/scope-topology/inventory.js, …), 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 — 160 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Ariadne Validator

Use this skill when the user asks whether a Markdown knowledge vault is structurally valid, navigable, connected, or ready for ongoing agent use.

Tool

Run the bundled validator from the vault root:

/path/to/skills/validator/scripts/validate_vault.sh

Or pass an explicit vault path:

/path/to/skills/validator/scripts/validate_vault.sh /path/to/vault

For a subtree or its schema-v1 research pipeline, pass a vault-relative scope:

/path/to/skills/validator/scripts/validate_vault.sh /path/to/vault --scope "Domains/Product"
/path/to/skills/validator/scripts/validate_vault.sh /path/to/vault --scope "Domains/Product" --profile research

Scoped runs still inventory the whole vault before filtering findings. --scope rejects absolute paths, traversal, missing paths, and files. --profile research requires a scope; it keeps in-scope YAML, broken-link, orphan, and unlinked-Base failures while excluding sibling-origin defects. Descriptor, hub, and routing findings carry explicit governing obligations when an outside origin directly applies to the selected scope.

The shell wrapper checks for Node.js and delegates to validate_vault.js.

Scope Topology Synchronizer

Resolve scripts/sync_scope_topology.js relative to this installed skill. It is the only scope topology mutation authority. --check is always zero-write and reports findings, proposed changes, complete content_write_paths, and plan_hash:

node /path/to/skills/validator/scripts/sync_scope_topology.js /path/to/vault --check
node /path/to/skills/validator/scripts/sync_scope_topology.js /path/to/vault --check --scope "Domains/Product"

Mutation accepts one exact schema-v1 JSON request:

{"operation_schema":1,"operation":"move","target_scope_id":"alpha","source_path":"Domains/Alpha","destination_path":"Projects/Alpha","normalize_files":[],"allowed_write_paths":["00 Index.md","Agent/Scope Map.md"]}
node /path/to/skills/validator/scripts/sync_scope_topology.js /path/to/vault --write --request /path/to/request.json

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.
