fire-0-orient

fire-0-orient is a command for coding agents from ThierryN/fire-flow. It costs 12 tokens per session (13,819 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for getting oriented in an existing code project. It scans the codebase and project state, then explains what the project is, where it stands, and what should happen next.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when joining a project without a handoff, optionally requesting a deeper scan, a scan without recommendations, or a saved orientation report.
Why use it?
It reduces the time an agent needs to understand an unfamiliar repository and lowers the risk of starting work in the wrong place.

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

fire-0-orient 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 4d 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.

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.

/fire-0-orient

First contact with an existing project


Purpose

When an AI agent joins an existing project with no prior handoff, this command scans the codebase and project state to understand:

  1. What is this project?
  2. What's the current state?
  3. What should happen next?

This is the "new agent orientation" - like a new employee's first day understanding the codebase.

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.
