shaft-assertions

shaft-assertions is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ShaftHQ/SHAFT_ENGINE. It costs 35 tokens per session (78 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for choosing or repairing checks in SHAFT tests. It covers firm checks that stop on failure, checks that collect failures, browser and element checks, API checks, object checks, and failure messages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to select assertions and verifications for web pages, page elements, APIs, and ordinary program objects.
Why use it?
It helps tests detect the right result and explain failures clearly. SHAFT is the testing framework providing these checks.

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

shaft-assertions 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

SHAFT Assertions

Start with SHAFT Developer, then read and follow the assertions playbook.

Files

What ships with it

2 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.
