plain-healthcheck

plain-healthcheck is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from plainlang/plain-forge. It costs 131 tokens per session (2,919 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A verification skill for a plain project. It checks that each configuration file exists, points to real test scripts, and that the project's top-level modules pass a dry-run check.

In plain words
What is it for?
Run it whenever a plain project is finalized, including after adding or editing specifications, templates, resources, or features.
Why use it?
It catches missing files, incorrect script paths, and rendering problems before the project is handed off or rendered.

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

plain-healthcheck 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 133 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Plain Healthcheck

Always use the skill load-codeplain-reference to retrieve the full codeplain CLI reference (every flag, path-resolution rules, config.yaml mapping, render banners, exit codes), and the skill load-plain-reference to retrieve the ***plain syntax rules — but only if you haven't done so yet. This skill runs codeplain … --dry-run and validates every config.yaml, so the CLI reference is required.

When to run

Run this skill **whenever anything in the *plain project is finalized and the project is about to be left in a state the user (or another skill) might render from. That includes, but is not limited to:

  • End of forge-plain (Phase 4) — before presenting the render command.
  • End of add-feature (Phase 3 final review) — before declaring the feature done.
  • End of debug-specs — after applying a fix, before telling the user to re-render.
  • After finalizing any single edit that changes the renderable surface — e.g. after add-concept, add-functional-spec, add-functional-specs, add-implementation-requirement, add-test-requirement, add-acceptance-test, add-template, add-resource, resolve-spec-conflict, break-down-func-spec, consolidate-concepts, refactor-module, create-import-module, create-requires-module, or any of the implement-*-testing-script skills.
  • After hand-editing a .plain file, a config.yaml, or anything under test_scripts/.
  • On demand — whenever the user asks whether the project is in a renderable state.

The healthcheck is not a forge-plain-only step. Treat it as the default closing move for any workflow that finalizes something in the project.

Do not skip this skill because "the dry-run passed earlier" — config.yamls, scripts, and specs can all drift between runs. The healthcheck is cheap; rendering against stale specs is expensive.

Workflow

The skill is a detect → fix → re-run loop. It does not stop at the first failure; it surfaces everything wrong, fixes what it can, and only returns when either everything passes or a gap genuinely requires user input.

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.
