drift-sweep

drift-sweep is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Vladick-Pick/business-ontology. It costs 35 tokens per session (1,709 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A scheduled review of accepted cards in a business model to check whether their registered sources still support them. A card is a documented fact, definition, or relationship.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when cards are due for review, before publishing a model, or when a fresh view of overdue and possibly outdated information is needed.
Why use it?
Models can become outdated when owners, sources, or process rules change, even though their links still look valid. This review makes those mismatches visible for human review.

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

drift-sweep 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 2mo 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.

Drift sweep

Purpose

Drift is caught in two ways: on contact, when work exposes a contradiction, and on cadence, when the model deliberately checks stale cards. drift-flag handles one anchored divergence. drift-sweep is the cadence orchestrator: it finds the cards due for review, checks each against its registered source or current read-only evidence, and routes any real mismatch to drift-flag.

The sweep exists because a model of reality can go stale while still looking valid. A card can keep passing links_validate even after its owner changed, its source-of-truth moved, or a state transition grew a new exception path. The sweep does not make the agent the author of truth; it makes staleness visible before downstream agents and dashboards keep leaning on old claims.

When to use

Use this skill when:

  • The configured drift cadence fires.
  • A human asks for a review of stale or overdue cards.
  • Packaging or publication is about to happen and overdue next-audit cards need to be checked.
  • synthesize-digest needs a fresh view of what is overdue, still current, or waiting on human review.

Do not use this skill for a single contradiction encountered during normal work; call drift-flag directly. Do not use it to mine new inputs, register new sources, promote staged changes, or update accepted cards. A sweep can produce proposals and a summary; it cannot commit reality.

Inputs

  • Ontology root: the accepted model, 02-source-map.md, open questions, and optional registry.
  • Cadence date: the date used to compare next-audit.
  • Source access: read-only access to the registered sources needed to re-check overdue cards, bounded by each source's read policy.
  • Scope limit: optional list of card ids, folders, or source ids to sweep instead of the full ontology.

Procedure

  1. Load the accepted model. Read accepted cards only. Staged proposals are visible review material, not truth.

  2. Find due cards. Select cards whose next-audit is before the cadence date, whose last-reviewed is unknown, or whose source-map entry changed since the last review. Keep the list explicit by card id.

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.
