aoa-session-recovery

aoa-session-recovery is a skill for Codex from 8Dionysus/aoa-skills. It costs 76 tokens per session (794 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A controlled workflow for diagnosing a reviewed recurring session or process failure and, when approved, carrying out one repair cycle.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for reviewed contamination, drift, repeated tool or routing failures, and bounded repairs with checkpoints and rollback plans.
Why use it?
It separates the observed problem, its diagnosis, the change made, and proof that the repair improved health.

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

aoa-session-recovery 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 12d 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.

Intent

Recover from recurring session or workflow failure without collapsing symptom, diagnosis, proposed change, executed change, and verified health into one claim.

Trigger boundary

Use this skill when:

  • a closed, explicitly reviewed evidence packet needs diagnosis; or
  • a reviewed diagnosis is ready for one bounded repair cycle at its real owner

Do not use this skill when:

  • evidence is live, raw, unreviewed, or only a frustration note
  • there is no diagnosis for repair, the target owner is unknown, or the route is a broad playbook-scale rollout
  • the requested action would bypass approval, checkpoint, rollback, or owner law

Inputs

  • one reviewed evidence packet or reviewed diagnosis, with refs, target and durable owners, constraints, execution request, approval posture, available bindings, checkpoint/rollback anchors, and known health surfaces

Outputs

  • exactly one typed result from references/contract.yaml: either a session-diagnosis or repair-cycle-result, with evidence refs, claim and execution posture, actual effects, health evidence, uncertainty, and stop line

Procedure

Mode Use when Reference
diagnose Reviewed symptoms exist but causes, drift class, or owner are unresolved. references/diagnose.md
repair A reviewed diagnosis exists and one bounded repair can be prepared, executed, verified, blocked, or handed off honestly. references/repair.md

Mode: diagnose

Read and follow references/diagnose.md.

Mode: repair

Read and follow references/repair.md.

  1. Read references/contract.yaml and only the selected mode reference to EOF.
  2. Execute exactly one mode. A diagnosis may hand off to a later repair, but an invocation must not manufacture a diagnosis and immediately mutate from it.
  3. Preserve the strongest posture actually proved. prepared, executing, executed, and verified are different states.

Contracts

  • reviewed session evidence is input, not durable memory or owner truth
  • diagnosis is read-only; repair acts only through the target owner's available tool or repository binding and within the user's authorization
  • a repair that changes state requires approval posture, pre-change checkpoint, executable rollback, bounded retries, post-change health checks, and cleanup
  • execution success is not health verification; only observed checks support verified, and failed checks trigger rollback or an explicit blocked state
  • technique records may explain lineage but are not runtime dependencies

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.
