cross-vm-serialization-conformance

cross-vm-serialization-conformance is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from PlamenTSV/plamen. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,683 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review of data encoded on one blockchain system for use by a different one, such as Solana, Bitcoin, Move, or Cosmos. Serialization means turning structured data into bytes with an agreed layout.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when an EVM contract creates messages, account lists, scripts, or other byte data consumed by another blockchain.
Why use it?
It catches mismatched field sizes, byte order, flags, account data, or read positions that can make a cross-chain message unreadable or unsafe.

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

cross-vm-serialization-conformance 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 7d 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 — 101 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CROSS_VM_SERIALIZATION_CONFORMANCE

Trigger: NON_EVM_TARGET flag (recon detects a non-EVM destination — Solana/Bitcoin/Move/Cosmos — via 32-byte pubkey constants, base58/bech32 handling, custom account/byte encoders (account-meta packers, Borsh-style packing), or a foreign chain-id/program-id). Inject Into: breadth agent owning the cross-chain/encoding focus, and depth-external. Protocol Types: any contract that SERIALIZES data on the EVM side for consumption by a DIFFERENT VM (cross-chain bridges, general cross-chain messaging protocols, Solana/Bitcoin gateways). Added in: recall-recovery (post a ground-truth audit comparison — closes the outbound-encoding gap CROSS_CHAIN_MESSAGE_INTEGRITY does not cover; that skill covers INBOUND decode/auth only).

Why this exists

CROSS_CHAIN_MESSAGE_INTEGRITY audits messages the contract RECEIVES (decode, auth, replay). It does NOT audit whether the bytes the contract PRODUCES on the EVM side match the layout the destination VM expects. An EVM contract that packs a Solana account list, a Borsh struct, or a Bitcoin script with the wrong field width, wrong byte order, wrong flag encoding, or wrong cursor advance will ship structurally-valid-on-EVM but corrupt-on-arrival payloads — silently breaking cross-chain execution or corrupting permissions/amounts. This is a recurring, general bridge bug class and is INVISIBLE to pure EVM-side reasoning.

Methodology

Step 0 — Verify the serialization SCHEME matches the destination VM (GATES Steps 1-3)

Before ANY per-field check, confirm the encoder emits the destination VM's NATIVE wire format — not EVM ABI. Native formats: Solana/Anchor = Borsh; Cosmos = Protobuf/Amino; Move/Sui = BCS; Bitcoin = script + varint/ CompactSize; NEAR = Borsh. EVM abi.encode/abi.encodePacked emit EVM ABI (32-byte-word-aligned head/tail offsets, dynamic-length prefixes) — a layout that NONE of those VMs deserialize. So if the EVM side builds a payload with abi.encode/abi.encodePacked (or returns such a blob) that a non-EVM program will deserialize with its native decoder, the payload is structurally undecodable on arrival — a CONFIRMED scheme-mismatch finding regardless of field-level correctness. Field-level conformance (Steps 1-3) is meaningless if the whole envelope is the wrong format; only proceed once the scheme is correct.

cross-vm-serialization-conformance is a skill published in the GitHub repository PlamenTSV/plamen (281 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,683 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
