servo-gate

servo-gate is a skill for Claude Code from t1djani/servo. It costs 57 tokens per session (991 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review procedure that checks a specification, plan, code change, or claim against a named project source of truth. It uses a reviewer that did not create the item and returns GO, FIX, or STOP.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reviewing plans, specifications, diffs, and individual claims before accepting or merging them.
Why use it?
A person or agent can approve its own work without noticing mistakes. Checking against an independent reference makes the review test the work against known requirements.

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

servo-gate 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.

servo-gate

Verify an artifact against ground truth, using a non-colluding reviewer: one that did not produce the artifact and judges it only against a named oracle. A gate that does not read an independent oracle is theater — this skill refuses to run without one.

The rule underneath: a check is only worth running if it brings in information the producer did not have. Re-reading the artifact with the same context that wrote it is the agent grading its own homework.

What you need

  • The artifact: the text under review (a spec, a plan, a diff, a single claim).
  • The oracle key: which source of truth to check against (e.g. scope, invariants, acceptance). The project's keys live in .servo/manifest.yaml.
  • The stance (default refute): the posture the reviewer takes.

Procedure

  1. Resolve the oracle. Read .servo/manifest.yaml in the project. Find the key under oracles:. Its value is the source — where the ground truth lives (a file path, git:main, vault:..., linear:...). If the key is not in the manifest, stop and report the available keys; do not guess.

  2. Read the source → the oracle slice. Read the source yourself (Read tool, MCP, git, whatever the source type calls for) and capture the relevant content. This text is the oracle slice. If you cannot read it, stop — never invent ground truth.

  3. Refuse an empty oracle. If the oracle slice is empty or whitespace, stop: a gate with no ground truth is theater. This refusal is by design (§7b).

  4. Build the verifier prompt by filling this exact template:

    You are a non-colluding "<STANCE>" reviewer.
    You did NOT produce the artifact. Judge it ONLY against the ground truth below.
    If the ground truth does not support a claim in the artifact, flag it.
    
    ## Ground truth (authoritative oracle)
    <ORACLE SLICE>
    
    ## Artifact under review
    <ARTIFACT>
    
    Reply with JSON only: {"verdict":"GO|FIX|STOP","findings":["..."]}
    
  5. Dispatch the verifier — the real non-colluding step. Spawn a subagent with the Agent tool and give it exactly the prompt from step 4 and nothing else. It must not see your reasoning or how the artifact was produced. When more than one model is available, run the verifier on a different model than the one that produced the artifact (§7d) to cut shared bias. Tell it to reply with only the JSON object.

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.

servo-gate is a skill published in the GitHub repository t1djani/servo (1 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 57 tokens to every session and 991 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-31.
