review-harness

review-harness is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from spences10/my-pi. It costs 33 tokens per session (420 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review process for work completed through a Pi task harness, a temporary system that records a task's rules, changes, status, and validation evidence. It compares the result with the original policy and approved changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review harness files, scripts, logs, status records, outcomes, git changes, allowed paths, test rules, and validation evidence, then decide whether to pass, request fixes, or escalate.
Why use it?
It helps detect contract drift, unsafe shortcuts, weakened tests, bypassed validators, dishonest status reports, and unauthorized file changes before work is accepted.

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

review-harness 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.

What it actually says

Review Harness

Review completed or failed work against the immutable outer policy and the complete versioned scaffold/amendment history.

Workflow

  1. Resolve the harness directory and read harness.json, TASK.md, status.json, OUTCOME.md or outcome.json, and logs/events.jsonl if present.
  2. Run or inspect <harness_dir>/review.sh.
  3. Inspect git diff and changed files.
  4. Compare changes against policy.forbidden_paths, the active scaffold.allowed_paths, test policy, escalation rules, and all recorded amendments.
  5. Verify validation evidence from status.json, logs, and command output.
  6. Decide: pass, needs executor fix, or escalate to planner/user.

Review Checks

  • Did work stay inside the outer policy and active scaffold?
  • Were scaffold changes authorized, versioned, and honestly recorded?
  • Did any amendment attempt to weaken the outer trust boundary?
  • Were tests changed when allow_test_changes is false?
  • Were validators weakened, deleted, skipped, or bypassed?
  • Were outputs faked or hardcoded to satisfy checks?
  • Are status and evidence entries honest and complete?
  • Does the outcome artifact include changed files, validation evidence, team status, and remaining risks?
  • Did the executor make unapproved architecture decisions?

Output Shape

## Verdict

Pass | Needs executor fix | Escalate

## Findings

- P0/P1/P2: <issue> — `<path>` — <required action>

## Validation Evidence

- `<command>` — pass/fail/not run — <evidence>

## Required Next Step

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.
