armada-gate

armada-gate is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from rafmacalaba/armada. It costs 33 tokens per session (411 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A checklist for verifying that every success condition in an Armada project phase has evidence. A phase is a defined portion of work with requirements that must be checked before it is marked complete.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to gate a project phase before changing its status. It checks the relevant commands, visual results, and files, then reports whether the phase passes or fails.
Why use it?
It prevents incomplete phases from being passed based on assumptions. Each requirement must be supported by tests, screenshots, file checks, or another stated reason for skipping it.

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

armada-gate 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 4d 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.

What it actually says

You are gating an armada phase. Verify every success criterion in the current phase with evidence.

Process

  1. Read the current phase in armada/REQUIREMENTS.md. Note its success criteria.
  2. For each criterion, gather evidence:
    • If it involves a test run: run the test command and capture output.
    • If it involves a visual check: capture a screenshot.
    • If it involves file presence or content: verify on disk.
  3. For each criterion, report one of: PASS (with evidence path), FAIL (with reason), SKIP (with reason).
  4. If all criteria pass, the phase gates. Report "PHASE PASS" and update the phase status.
  5. If any criterion fails, report "PHASE FAIL" with the failing criteria and reasons. Do not proceed.

Evidence format

Phase: <N> -- <name>
Criteria:
  [PASS] <criterion> -- evidence: <path or output snippet>
  [FAIL] <criterion> -- reason: ...
  [SKIP] <criterion> -- reason: ...
Result: PASS | FAIL

Adaptive depth

  • QA always gates. Low risk uses focused smoke and acceptance; medium uses affected tests and integration smoke; high uses full relevant and negative-path evidence.
  • Activate security, adversary, or architect only when risk or changed surface requires them.
  • Group findings by root cause, files, or threat class before remediation. Only BLOCKING stops phase; defer unrelated pre-existing findings with rationale.

Rules

  • Never skip a criterion without a documented reason.
  • Evidence paths must be relative to the repo root.
  • Screenshots go in armada/screenshots/<feature>/.
  • Test output goes in the gate report. Keep it terse.

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.

armada-gate is a skill published in the GitHub repository rafmacalaba/armada (92 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 33 tokens to every session and 411 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
