check

Read-only drift detector. Diffs SPEC.md against current code and reports violations grouped by severity. Writes nothing — suggests remedies via the spec or build skills but never invokes them. Triggers when the user asks to check drift, audit the spec, verify invariants, or ask whether code still matches the spec. Phrasings: "check drift", "audit the spec", "does the code still match §V", "check invariants", "spec vs code".

check — drift report

Pure diagnostic. Reports violations. Writes nothing. User decides remedy.

LOAD

  1. Read SPEC.md. If missing → "no spec, nothing to check." Stop.
  2. Parse invocation args:
    • §V → check invariants only (default)
    • §I → check interfaces
    • §T → audit task status vs code
    • --all → all three

CHECK §V — invariants

For each V<n>:

  1. Translate invariant into verifiable claim about code.
  2. Grep / read relevant files.
  3. Classify: HOLD / VIOLATE / UNVERIFIABLE.
  4. Record address + file:line evidence.

CHECK §I — interfaces

For each I item:

  1. Locate implementation.
  2. Classify:
    • MATCH — shape in code = shape in spec.
    • DRIFT — impl exists, shape differs.
    • MISSING — impl absent.
    • EXTRA — code exposes surface not in §I.

CHECK §T — tasks

For each T<n>:

  1. If x: verify claimed work present.
  2. If ~: note as in-progress.
  3. If .: note as pending.
  4. Flag x rows with no evidence as STALE.

REPORT

Caveman. Grouped by severity.

## §V drift
V2 VIOLATE: auth/mw.go:47 uses `<` not `≤`. see §B.1.
V5 UNVERIFIABLE: no test covers ∀ req path.

## §I drift
I.api DRIFT: POST /x returns `{result}` not `{id}`. route.go:112.
I.cmd MISSING: `foo bar` absent from cli/*.go.

## §T drift
T3 STALE: status `x`, no middleware file exists.

## summary
2 violate. 1 missing. 1 stale. 1 unverifiable.
next: spec skill with `bug:` or fix code at cited lines.

REMEDY HINTS (not actions)

End report with one-line hint per class:

  • VIOLATE / DRIFT → invoke spec skill bug: <V.n> or fix code.
  • MISSING → invoke build skill on §T.n if task exists; else spec skill amend §T.
  • STALE → spec skill amend §T to uncheck.
  • EXTRA → spec skill amend §I to document, or delete code.

Never invoke fixes. Report only.

NON-GOALS

  • Zero writes. No SPEC.md edits. No code edits.
  • No sub-agents. Main thread reads.
  • No scores, no grades. Binary per item: holds or drifts.

General

caveman

Ultra-compressed communication mode. Cuts token usage ~75% by speaking like caveman while keeping full technical accuracy. Supports intensity levels: lite, full (default), ultra, wenyan-lite, wenyan-full, wenyan-ultra. Use when user says "caveman mode", "talk like caveman", "use caveman", "less tokens", "be brief", or invokes /caveman. Also auto-triggers when token efficiency is requested.
