Architecture Validation Plan Guard

Architecture Validation Plan Guard is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from s977043/river-review. It costs 25 tokens per session (557 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A design-document reviewer that checks whether an architecture proposal explains how its correctness and operation will be verified.

In plain words
What is it for?
It reviews architecture documents and ADRs for validation plans covering service goals, tests, releases, failures, monitoring, and new dependencies.
Why use it?
Designs can look complete while lacking success measures, tests, rollout checks, monitoring, or rollback steps. It exposes those gaps before implementation.

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

Architecture Validation Plan Guard 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 6d 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

Pattern declaration

Primary pattern: Reviewer Secondary patterns: Inversion Why: 設計ドキュメントに検証計画(SLO/テスト/ロールバック/可観測性)が欠けていないかを検出する。

Guidance

  • Ensure design docs include how success is proven: SLO/SLI targets and validation/test plans.
  • Check rollout/rollback/canary/DR strategies have criteria, owners, and fallback steps.
  • Confirm observability plans (logs/metrics/alerts) cover new risks and failure paths.
  • Flag missing validation for new dependencies or contracts introduced in the diff.

Non-goals

  • ツール選定や好みのアプローチを推測で断定しない。

What ships with it

8 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
