local-mode-verification

local-mode-verification is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ryne2010/harness-engineering-audit. It costs 33 tokens per session (134 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of final-local-product-review, MIT.

A repository-specific workflow for checking a local implementation in a documentation-to-production process. It reads the project's instructions, makes the smallest needed change, runs relevant checks, and records evidence.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect an implementation, apply a limited fix, run local verification checks, and record unresolved risks.
Why use it?
It helps verify changes without expanding the product scope, using real personal data, or weakening existing safeguards. It is only intended for repositories that have opted into this testing harness.

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

local-mode-verification 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.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

88% identical to final-local-product-review — 6 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

local mode verification

Follow the repository source-of-truth docs. Do not expand product scope, enable real-world effects, use real PII, or weaken tests/invariants. Produce evidence for any claim of completion.

Workflow

  1. Read the relevant docs/harness and product-execution contracts.
  2. Inspect current implementation.
  3. Make the smallest safe change needed for the active task.
  4. Run the relevant checks.
  5. Record evidence and remaining risks.
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.
