perspective-validation

perspective-validation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from synaptiai/agent-capability-standard. It costs 55 tokens per session (1,501 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A review checklist for checking a proposed change, workflow, data schema, or policy from human, governance, financial, security, data, and trust perspectives. It produces a scored report with evidence and follow-up actions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for socio-technical reviews, governance checks, operational-readiness reviews, and pull requests that change schemas, hooks, skills, or tools.
Why use it?
It helps find non-technical risks that ordinary code checks may miss, such as confusing processes, weak oversight, security threats, or poor data handling. Failed or incomplete checks are tied to specific remediation priorities.

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

perspective-validation 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/validate_pvc.py), 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 — 151 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Intent

Produce a PVC report (Perspective Validation Checklist) that scores the target against key non-type failure modes (human factors, governance, economics, adversarial security, loop stability, data governance, and legitimacy) with concrete evidence references and remediation actions.

Success criteria:

  • A valid PVC report is written to docs/reviews/pvc/ and passes python skills/perspective-validation/scripts/validate_pvc.py
  • Each non-N/A score is justified with at least one evidence reference
  • Any FAIL/PARTIAL includes a concrete remediation action (P0/P1/P2)

References:

  • CHECKLIST.md
  • pvc_report_template.yaml

Inputs

Parameter Required Type Description
target Yes string What to review (file/dir path, workflow name, or PR/change description)
risk_tier No enum low | medium | high (defaults to medium if unclear)
domain No string Domain context (e.g., general, manufacturing, healthcare)
deployment No string Deployment context (e.g., local-dev, customer-facing, safety-critical)

Procedure

  1. Scope the review: Confirm target, domain, deployment, and risk_tier

    • If the target is a PR or branch diff, identify changed files and whether they touch critical paths (schemas/, hooks/, skills/, grounded_agency/, tools/, spec/)
  2. Collect evidence: Read the minimum set of files needed to justify scores

    • Prefer evidence anchors as file:path#Lline (or file:path:line if needed)
    • When reviewing a change set, include at least one evidence item for “what changed” and “what it affects”
  3. Score the checklist: For each PVC test ID (HF-101 … ECO-901), assign one of:

    • PASS: explicitly satisfied with evidence
    • PARTIAL: acknowledged but missing enforcement/measurement/runbook detail
    • FAIL: absent
    • N/A: not applicable to this target (include a brief reason in assumptions or in an action note)

What ships with it

3 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.
