psychology-agent: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/diagnose/SKILL.md

diagnose is a skill for Claude Code from safety-quotient-lab/psychology-agent. It costs 19 tokens per session (4,178 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A five-level self-diagnostic skill for checking the psychology-agent project's health, from a quick status snapshot to a thorough cross-system analysis.

In plain words
What is it for?
Checking subsystem health, reviewing metrics and findings, detecting drift, and analyzing alignment across project systems.
Why use it?
It replaces ad-hoc manual checking with a consistent way to investigate problems at the needed depth.

This is safety-quotient-lab/psychology-agent's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on psychology-agent itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything psychology-agent configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is python3 scripts/dual_write.py --help 2>&1 | grep -oE '\{[^}]+\}' | head -1.

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

diagnose 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 12d 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.

/diagnose — Systemic Self-Diagnostic

Five-level diagnostic hierarchy for the psychology agent cogarch. Higher numbers run faster with less depth; lower numbers run slower with more thoroughness. Level 1 replaces manual QA.

Design reference: five-tier diagnostic depth model adapted from the structured diagnostic protocol in Sternbach & Okuda (1991), Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual. Level 1 requires the most resources and produces the most complete picture; Level 5 produces a status snapshot with minimal overhead. The key design insight from that reference: lower diagnostic numbers indicate higher thoroughness, not lower priority — a convention this system adopts.


Diagnostic Levels

Level Scope Depth Systems Affected Estimated Duration
5 Status poll Row counts, binary health indicators None — read-only ~10 seconds
4 Targeted subsystem Detail queries for one subsystem None — read-only ~30 seconds
3 Standard sweep All subsystems, key metrics, findings None — read-only ~2 minutes
2 Cross-system analysis L3 + drift detection, alignment checks, pattern analysis None — read-only ~5 minutes
1 Full integrity verification L2 + file checks, governance verification, hook validation, CLI tests, orphan detection Writes test records (cleaned up) ~10 minutes

Default: Level 3.

Usage:

/diagnose          — Level 3, all subsystems
/diagnose 5        — Level 5, status poll
/diagnose 4 claims — Level 4, claims subsystem deep scan
/diagnose 1        — Level 1, full integrity verification (replaces manual QA)

Recommended cadence:

Level When
5 Session start — quick pulse before work begins
4 When a specific subsystem shows degraded status
3 Every 5-10 sessions; after /cycle as health check
2 After schema migrations, bootstrap rebuilds, infrastructure changes
1 After major refactors; before release tags; after long idle periods

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.
