What it does
Audit Linearizability is an agent skill from ben-manes/caffeine. Analyze the cache for linearizability violations across all public methods
Its SKILL.md is about 470 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: A high performance caching library for Java. The licence is Apache-2.0.
Example prompts
- “/audit-linearizability”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- State the linearization point (e.g., "CAS on CHM bin at line X").
- If conditional, enumerate all cases.
- Construct a 2-thread scenario confirming the linearization point.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e972fb0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Audit Linearizability loads about 474 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 24 tokens; SKILL.md has 216 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Analyze the cache for linearizability violations. For each public method below, identify its LINEARIZATION POINT — the single atomic step at which the operation appears to take effect.
Methods to analyze:
Single-key operations:
- get(key), getIfPresent(key)
- put(key, value), putIfAbsent(key, value)
- remove(key), remove(key, value)
- replace(key, value), replace(key, oldValue, newValue)
- computeIfAbsent(key, function), compute(key, function), merge(key, value, function)
Bulk / aggregate operations:
- getAll(keys) / getAllPresent(keys)
- putAll(map)
- invalidateAll(keys) / invalidateAll()
- size(), containsKey(key), containsValue(value)
Note: Bulk operations are typically NOT linearizable as a unit. State whether each provides any atomicity beyond per-element linearizability.
For each method:
- State the linearization point (e.g., "CAS on CHM bin at line X").
- If conditional, enumerate all cases.
- Construct a 2-thread scenario confirming the linearization point.
Then attempt to construct violations: 4. Can two threads observe operations in an inconsistent order?
- put(k, v1) / put(k, v2) / get(k): Can C see v2 then v1?
- computeIfAbsent(k, f): Can f execute twice concurrently?
- remove(k) / get(k): Can get return a value after remove linearized?
- Is size() linearizable or documented as an estimate? Bounds on error?
- For async cache variants: is the linearization point the future insertion or completion? Can get() return an already-replaced future?
For each candidate violation:
- Provide the full interleaving
- Show the sequential history it violates
- Verify the interleaving is JMM-legal
Do not analyze internal consistency, only external observability.
