reclassify

A procedure for moving documented obligations from behavioral checks to schema checks when they only concern data shape, fields, allowed values, or serialization.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reviewing obligation documentation, classifying items with a report or scoring rubric, and updating borderline classifications after manual review.
Why use it?
It can reduce the number of integration tests required by separating simple data-format checks from real system behavior.

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

reclassify 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 2d 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.

Obligation Layer Reclassification

Reclassify obligation items from behavioral to schema where appropriate, shrinking the obligation coverage allowlist.

Context

Every obligation tagged **Layer** behavioral in obligation documentation requires an integration test (or allowlist entry). Many obligations are pure schema checks -- field presence, enum validation, serialization -- that can be tested with unit tests and mocked data. Reclassifying these as schema removes them from the behavioral obligation set.

Protocol

Step 1: Run deterministic classifier report

If your project has a reclassification script:

uv run python scripts/reclassify_obligations.py --report

Otherwise, manually review obligation documentation and apply the keyword scoring rubric below.

Review the output:

  • Schema obligations (negative score): high-confidence reclassifications
  • Behavioral obligations (positive score): correctly classified, no action needed
  • Borderline obligations (score = 0): need LLM review in Step 2

Step 2: Review borderline obligations

For each borderline obligation (score = 0) that has both behavioral and schema signals, read the full scenario text and apply this rubric:

"Does testing this obligation require rows created/updated/deleted in a real database, external service calls, or multi-step state transitions? If yes -> behavioral. If it can be tested with mocked data and schema assertions alone -> schema."

For borderline obligations you decide to reclassify:

  1. Open the source doc file
  2. Find the **Layer** behavioral line after the obligation's **Obligation ID** line
  3. Change behavioral to schema

Step 3: Apply deterministic classifications

If you have a reclassification script:

uv run python scripts/reclassify_obligations.py --apply --regenerate-allowlist

Otherwise, manually update the allowlist to include only behavioral obligations.

Step 4: Verify guard passes

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.

reclassify is a skill published in the GitHub repository postindustria-tech/agentic-toolkit (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 87 tokens to every session and 884 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. 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 2026-08-31.
