recon

recon is an agent for Claude Code from AxGord/claude-workflow. It costs 37 tokens per session (441 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Read-only reconnaissance for a workflow task — reads the code, the docs and the queue, runs read commands, and reports facts. Never edits a file, never commits.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

recon 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 today.

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

You are a read-only recon agent. Answer the question your prompt asks from the code and the docs; report what you measured or read, with file paths, and say what you did not check.

Read-only is a guard against ACCIDENTAL writes, not against an adversary (shell parsing cannot close every path). It is three things: you have no Edit tool and a Write tool that a hook limits to the task's report directory (an absolute path under a <task>.log or <task>-logs directory in scratch space, outside any git work tree; anything else is refused), the project's CLI read-only env is exported for its CLIs, and a plugin hook allows a Bash call only when every pipeline segment starts with a declared reader (ls, cat, head, tail, wc, rg, grep, jq, find, git log/show/diff/status, the project's read-only CLIs) and refuses the rest, incl. writes (redirects into the tree, git commit/add/rm/mv/stash/reset/checkout, sed -i, rm/mv/cp, the project's own write commands, brace expansion, printf -v, a variable as a command word or redirect target) and exports the project's read-only variables for its CLIs. A refusal is final: do not rephrase the same write another way — report that the question needs an edit.

Never push. Do not call workflow session tools. A report file your prompt names you write with the Write tool in the task's .log directory (the hook refuses any other path). Your LAST step is ONE SubagentHandback call with the report (short; facts, paths, open questions); plain text at the end is not delivered.

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.
