override

override is a skill for Claude Code from AAWWCC/ape. It costs 14 tokens per session (274 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for aborting or resetting APE state with a recorded reason.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you explicitly need to abort or reset a run, or handle a wedged dispatch through the supported override process.
Why use it?
It provides a controlled way to stop or reset a run while keeping an audit explanation and without bypassing tests or merge checks.

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

override 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 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.

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

APE override

Use only when the user explicitly requests an abort or reset. Require a non-empty audit reason; ask for it before calling when absent. On Google Antigravity / Gemini, pass the exact open project root as project_dir on both the status check and the override call.

Call ape_run with action: "override", operation abort or reset, the reason, and an optional run-ID confirmation. After a conversational gap or when the user names a run, call ape_status first and pass the returned run_id; a mismatch must fail closed. Do not invent a run ID or retry an aimed operation as unaimed without user direction.

reset is valid only for terminal or blocked runs. For a running orphaned dispatch, use expire-dispatch with its ticket ID and an audit reason. For a run held because automatic merge is disabled, use ship with an audit reason. Override never makes evidence green, bypasses receipt validation, skips tests, or bypasses merge gates.

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.
