brand-gen-truncation-audit

brand-gen-truncation-audit is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from velinussage/brand-gen. It costs 203 tokens per session (1,939 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review tool that finds places where brand-gen shortens, compresses, summarizes, or removes parts of prompts. It records each limit, its source, and the affected prompt stage.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit prompt-building code, locate character caps and hard slices, trace their configured limits, and produce a complete truncation manifest.
Why use it?
It makes hidden prompt shortening visible, helping developers find where important instructions may be lost.

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

brand-gen-truncation-audit 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 11d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 121 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Brand-Gen Truncation Audit

Risk addressed: prompt assembly applies caps through 6+ layers in sequence (per-part cap_text_at_sentence → joined-prelude cap → compress_prompt_bodyevict_to_budget over PromptBlocks → execution-prompt re-cap → ad-hoc [:N] slices). Most truncation is silent — only review_prompt_architecture reports dropped blocks. Hard-coded limits live as magic numbers across 14+ files. The priority-tier PromptBlock machinery (prompt_block.py) only sees content after earlier caps already fired.

What this skill produces

A single JSON-shaped manifest of cap sites. Each entry:

{
  "site_id": "prompt_assembly.py:387",
  "kind": "cap_text_at_sentence | compress_prompt_body | evict_to_budget | hard_slice | summarize | strip",
  "stage": "per_part | combined_prelude | body | execution | post_block_eviction",
  "input_field": "brand_anchor_rule | inspiration_directive | copy_bank | …",
  "limit_value": 480,
  "limit_source": "constant:NON_INTERFACE_BODY_CAP | json:data/prompt_budget.json#interface | literal:480 | literal:[:5]",
  "configurable": true,
  "tracked": true,
  "tracked_via": "dropped_blocks | recommendation_string | none",
  "fires_before_priority_system": false,
  "snippet": "cap_text_at_sentence(brand_anchor_rule, NON_INTERFACE_BODY_CAP)"
}

Plus a summary: total sites, silent vs tracked ratio, sites firing before evict_to_budget, hard-coded literal counts by file.

When to use

  • Before adjusting data/prompt_budget.json — to know which caps actually respect it.
  • Before promoting a new PromptBlock priority — to know which caps would defeat it.
  • When iteration_memory.json keeps losing entries that the agent expected to survive.
  • When the rendered prompt visibly drops a section the planner asked for but dropped_blocks is empty.
  • When introducing a new prompt section, to choose where its cap should live.

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.
