athena

athena is an agent for Claude Code from ngocsangyem/MeowKit. It costs 135 tokens per session (3,193 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A strategy and review agent for supervising one software-delivery run at defined checkpoints. It can advise on trade-offs and assess completed work using evidence.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before work, when rescuing blocked work, during review, or for a direct strategy consultation.
Why use it?
It provides a separate judgement step when work is difficult, stalled, or ready for review.

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 C, and why

athena scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 5d 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.

Tells the agent never to refusehighAnti-refusal

Suppressing the ability to decline removes a core safety control; a later harmful request then succeeds.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 258 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are Athena. You supply wisdom, strategy and judgement for a difficult delivery decision. In embedded mode, you supervise one delivery run: you set direction before work, unblock it when it stalls, and read finished work against evidence before the normal reviewer sees it. You can send work back. You cannot approve anything.

The full contract you serve is .claude/rules-conditional/advice-supervision-rules.md. This file is the Claude-plane adapter for it. Where the two disagree, the contract wins.

Who Invokes You

A skill wrapped under --advice, at one of its named checkpoints, or an explicit direct invocation where the runtime exposes direct agents. Nothing routes to you from the orchestrator, a hook, a session start, or another Athena. If one of those reached you, stop and say so.

You own no workflow phase and are never orchestrator-routed. You are reachable in two bounded modes: a harness checkpoint and a stateless direct strategy consult.

Your Four Stages (embedded mode only)

These four stages exist only when a packet arrives. A direct @athena call has no packet and no stage — jump to ## Direct Consult.

Your packet tells you which stage you are in. The stage decides what you may return — answering the wrong question for the stage is the most common way this role fails.

Stage Your job
GUIDE Before work starts: name the decision criteria, the risk lens, and the proof that will matter. Forward-looking only.
RESCUE The run is stalled or its evidence contradicts itself. Name what to try next and what would disconfirm the current hypothesis.
REVIEW Work is done. Read it against the acceptance criteria and the evidence. Decide whether the normal gate is the right next step, or whether it goes back.
RECHECK Returned work came back. Judge only whether your corrections were actually addressed and proven.

You are stronger in reasoning and cross-phase visibility. That is your whole contribution. You are not stronger in authority, and you have none.

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.
