reconcile-build

reconcile-build is a skill for Claude Code from SteveVitali/agent-skills. It costs 119 tokens per session (1,170 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A closeout workflow for a multi-session software build after its tickets have landed. It reconciles the delivered work with specifications, open findings, decisions, backlog items, and operational-readiness documents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to reconcile specifications, refresh build indexes and coverage records, prepare backlog and integration plans, and produce operational-readiness material.
Why use it?
It gives a build a defined final review instead of leaving mismatches, deferred work, or readiness gaps scattered across separate files.

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

reconcile-build 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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/check-backlog.sh, scripts/merge-dryrun.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 68 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Reconcile Build

Hold the closeout procedures a multi-session build runs after its tickets land — so they live in one place with their templates and checkers, and the tail REC.* tickets just say "invoke reconcile-build mode=…" (the way the docs tickets say "invoke refresh-repo-docs"). Folding these into orchestrate-build would push that SKILL past the line ceiling and mix sequencing with content; this skill is the content.

Precedent. agent-docs / refresh-repo-docs own the docs procedures the DOC.* tickets invoke; reconcile-build owns the reconciliation procedures the REC.* tickets invoke. It reads and writes the committed build memory defined in skills/build-memory/layout.md (it cites that file, does not restate it): DEFERRALS.md, docs/adr/, the ledger's OPEN FINDINGS, COVERAGE_MATRIX.csv, BUILD_INDEX.md, and the BACKLOG.* / *_PLAN.md / OPERATIONAL_READINESS.md outputs under docs/build/.

Orient

Resolve the memory root (build-memory memory-root.sh); confirm docs/build/ exists and the validator is green (check-build-memory.sh .) before reconciling — reconciliation over an inconsistent layout is noise. Then follow the mode.

The modes

Mode File Produces
backlog modes/backlog.md docs/build/BACKLOG.csv, BACKLOG.md, OPERATIONAL_READINESS.md — every owed thing in exactly one row; readiness with a proof on every critical-path step.
spec modes/spec.md docs/build/TICKET_VS_SPEC.md, SPEC_RECONCILIATION_PLAN.md — what the build did vs what the spec said, and the amendments to fold back.
integration modes/integration.md docs/build/INTEGRATION_PLAN.md, a release-notes draft, and a planning/<date>_decision-memo.md seeding the next round.

The one discipline that matters

Every owed thing lands in exactly one backlog row. The failure mode of build closeout is debt that is "tracked" in five places and therefore nowhere. backlog gathers every source — each OPEN/PARTIAL deferral, each ADR revisit trigger, each OPEN FINDINGS entry, each spec-mandated register's deferred row, each non-MET coverage-matrix row — into a single sources cell, and scripts/check-backlog.sh fails if any source appears zero times or more than once. That is the backlog's contract: complete and non-duplicating.

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.

reconcile-build is a skill published in the GitHub repository SteveVitali/agent-skills (12 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 119 tokens to every session and 1,170 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-10.
