co-dialectic

co-dialectic is a plugin for Claude Code from Exponential-OS/prompt-engineering-in-action. Its manifest loads nothing; the 11 skills, 5 hooks it bundles cost 1,179 tokens per session together, scanned A, original, AGPL-3.0.

A plugin that captures the agent’s working state before the conversation is shortened and shows a handoff reminder when the next session starts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to support state handoffs between agent sessions.
Why use it?
It preserves useful context across conversation compaction, when older messages are reduced to save space.

Security

Grade A, and why

co-dialectic 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.

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.
