review-assumption-validation

review-assumption-validation is a skill for Claude Code from tomzx/agents. It costs 30 tokens per session (1,293 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review workflow for checking whether an assumption-validation report is complete, well tested, supported by results, and logically concluded.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit a report, compare it with project assumptions and design files, and identify revisions that may be needed.
Why use it?
It helps catch weak experiments, missing information, and decisions that do not follow from the evidence.

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-assumption-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 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.

Review Assumption Validation

Audits an assumption validation report and reports findings across five categories: completeness, experiment quality, result rigor, impact assessment, and verdict soundness.

Prerequisites

  • Apply the shared SDLC conventions in skills/sdlc/references/shared.md.
  • If no argument is provided, locate the feature directory under .sdlc/features/ whose frontmatter issue field references $ISSUE_NUMBER.
  • .sdlc/features/N-<slug>/assumption-validation.md, or a validation report provided in context or as a file path
  • Access to .sdlc/knowledge/assumptions/ to cross-check assumption statuses

Steps

  1. Read the assumption validation report from .sdlc/features/N-<slug>/assumption-validation.md if present, otherwise from context or as a file path.
  2. Read the assumption records in .sdlc/knowledge/assumptions/ to cross-check that statuses were updated consistently with the report's claims.
  3. Read the design artifacts (specification.md, plan.md, tasks/) to verify that invalidated assumptions were followed by artifact revisions where needed.
  4. Evaluate the report against the checklist below.
  5. Report findings by category. Omit categories with no findings.
  6. Write the findings to .sdlc/features/N-<slug>/review-assumption-validation.md with frontmatter artifact: assumption-validation, verdict (approved / changes-requested / rejected), and reviewed_at: <ISO date>, and the findings as the body, per skills/sdlc/references/shared.md.

Review Checklist

Completeness

  • Were all Active assumptions with High or Medium risk considered for validation?
  • Were implicit assumptions in the design artifacts scanned for, not just formally recorded ones?
  • Were Low-risk assumptions listed for reference even if not validated?
  • If the report claims no assumptions needed validation, is that claim justified by the artifacts?

Experiment Quality

  • Was each experiment the cheapest decisive test available for the assumption?
  • Was a pass/fail threshold set before running each experiment, not after?
  • Did each experiment actually test the stated assumption, or did it test something adjacent?
  • Were spike experiments kept minimal and disposable, not creeping toward implementation?

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.

review-assumption-validation is a skill published in the GitHub repository tomzx/agents (6 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 1,293 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-09-03.
