skill-edit-validation

skill-edit-validation is a skill for OpenCode from ZaxbyHub/opencode-swarm. It costs 40 tokens per session (412 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A check that reviews changed wording in SKILL.md files against tests that assert specific text. It finds assertions that still expect the old wording.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after changing skill or prompt content to find affected assertions, inspect their intent, and update stale tests.
Why use it?
Editing instructions can leave tests checking phrases that no longer exist, causing avoidable CI failures or hiding changed behavior.

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

skill-edit-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.

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.

What it actually says

Skill Edit Validation

Trigger

After editing ANY .md file under .opencode/skills/, .claude/skills/, or .agents/skills/ that changes content wording (not just whitespace/formatting).

Protocol

  1. Extract changed phrases: Identify old wording vs new wording (e.g., "spec.md does NOT exist" changed to "NO effective spec exists")
  2. Targeted sweep: For each OLD phrase, grep test files:
    rg "<old-phrase>" tests/ src/ --type ts -l
    
    Focus on: *-audit*, *-security*, *-spec-gate*, *skill-mirror*, *soft-spec*, *prompt*, *workflow*
  3. For each match: Read the assertion context (surrounding 10 lines). Verify:
    • Does the assertion still hold against the new content?
    • Is it checking a substring containing the old phrase?
    • Is it checking for the ABSENCE of a word the new wording introduces? (e.g., not.toContain('skip') catches "this check is skipped")
  4. Update stale assertions in the same changeset. Do NOT defer to CI.
  5. Preserve behavioral intent: When updating, preserve what the assertion TESTS (e.g., "the plan skill has a spec-absent branch"), not just the string match.

Constraint

Do NOT rubber-stamp brittle assertions. If an assertion tests implementation detail rather than behavioral intent, flag it for refactoring to a semantic check.

Root cause

A skill-content test registry would auto-adjust (issue #1746 item 3). This playbook is the manual safety net.

Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.
