rb:challenge

rb:challenge is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from slbug/claude-ruby-grape-rails. It costs 33 tokens per session (1,412 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A critical review method for Ruby on Rails changes, especially database models, browser interactions, and pull requests. It challenges assumptions and looks for failures before approval.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review Active Record changes, Hotwire or Turbo events, and pull requests by checking failure scenarios, assumptions, contradictions, and proof from tests.
Why use it?
It helps catch bugs, race conditions, missing tests, and differences between the code and its documentation before they reach production.

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

rb:challenge 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 3d 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.

Challenge Mode Reviews

Rigorous, critical review patterns. Push beyond first solutions to ensure quality.

Iron Laws - Never Violate These

  1. No approval without verification - Don't approve until all concerns addressed
  2. Assume bugs exist - Look for edge cases, race conditions, missing handlers
  3. Question everything - Even "obvious" code can hide issues
  4. Demand proof - Ask for tests, show state transitions, verify behavior

Adversarial Lenses (Apply to ALL Modes)

Before diving into mode-specific checks, apply these four lenses:

  1. "What Would Break This?" — Describe realistic scenarios where this code fails catastrophically. Not edge cases — production failure modes under load, during deploys, with unexpected data.
  2. "Assumption Stress Test" — List every assumption this code relies on. Which are most fragile? (e.g., "assumes user always has an email", "assumes this query returns < 1000 rows")
  3. "Contradictions Finder" — Find contradictions between tests and implementation, docs and behavior, or between different parts of the code changes.
  4. "Overcomplicated?" — For every block of code, ask: would a senior engineer say this is overcomplicated? If you write 200 lines and it could be 50, that's a finding.

Challenge Modes

Active Record Challenge (/rb:challenge active record)

Grill the developer on database changes:

Migration Safety

  • Will this migration lock the table in production?
  • What happens to existing records without the new field?
  • Is the migration reversible?
  • Are there any unsafe operations (column removal, type change)?

Query Performance

  • Have you introduced any N+1 queries?
  • Are there missing indexes for new WHERE clauses?
  • Will this query scale with data growth?

Schema Integrity

  • Are all constraints enforced at database level?
  • What happens during rolling deployment (old code, new schema)?
  • Are foreign key cascades correct?

Backward Compatibility

  • Will old code work during deployment?
  • Are there any breaking changes to the model API?

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.
