Checks retry, backoff and timeout settings across a call chain to prevent retry storms. Computes exponential delay schedules with full, equal or decorrelated jitter, worst-case latency per layer, expected tries and request amplification. Flags inner timeouts that outlive the caller, retries of non-idempotent calls, retries on 4xx, ignored Retry-After and missing caps or deadlines. Includes a stdlib Python calculator with --self-test.
Decodes a JWT without trusting it and lints the header and claims: alg none, remote jku/x5u keys, missing or expired exp, nbf/iat clock skew, millisecond timestamps, long lifetimes, iss/aud mismatches, sensitive data in the payload, and HMAC signature checks with a secret from an env var. Use when a login or API call fails with 401, or when reviewing token settings. Includes a stdlib Python inspector with --self-test.
Compares an OpenAPI YAML/JSON spec to a list of implemented routes and flags drift: missing operations, extra routes, method mismatches, and path-parameter shape differences. Use when reviewing API PRs, before a release, or asking "does our code still match the OpenAPI?". Includes a stdlib Python checker with --self-test.
Reviews PostgreSQL and MySQL tables (schema.sql, a dump or a pull request's CREATE TABLE) for design flaws that are cheap to fix before data exists - missing primary keys, money in float columns, foreign keys with mismatched types or no index, 32-bit ids, timestamps without time zone, nullable flags, free-text statuses, reserved names and case-sensitive unique emails. Returns corrected DDL. Includes a stdlib Python linter with --self-test.
Plans and audits backup retention (grandfather-father-son) policies. Simulates hourly, daily, weekly, monthly and yearly keep rules like restic or borg, lists the restore points you really keep and the gaps between them, and estimates storage and cost now and in 12 months. Flags missed RPO, short history, legal retention gaps, no offsite or immutable copy, stale restore tests and job overlap. Includes a stdlib Python planner with --self-test.
