Use it when the user asks for Cobbler to remain the default way of handling the rest of the conversation.
Why use it?

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

cobbler-mode 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 9d 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

Cobbler Mode

This is an Elves-managed Claude Code alias for /cobbler-mode.

Use the installed elves skill's ## Cobbler instructions as the source of truth. Cobbler is Elves' default orchestration model. Cobbler Mode is the lowest-friction current-thread way to keep follow-up prompts Cobbler-mediated after the user says "Cobbler Mode: on" and until the user says "Cobbler Mode: off" or "leave Cobbler Mode." For non-trivial tasks, use the main skill's harness loop: capability scan, route and medium selection, context packet, execute agents/tools/skills, collect evidence, fit answer, present/record, and reclassify when evidence changes the task. Use route and medium selection before dispatch.

Default behavior while Cobbler Mode is active:

  1. Treat follow-up prompts as Cobbler-mediated by default.
  2. Answer directly when the task is simple.
  3. For one-off Quick Cobbler answers, stay read-only and stateless.
  4. Use Claude Code subagents first when independent lenses help.
  5. For implementation or active-run requests, route work through Cobbler-first Elves coordination; worker agents may edit scoped files under the normal Elves rules.
  6. Return one fitted answer with Recommendation, Why this fits, Strongest dissent, Risks, Next move, and Confidence when synthesis is useful.

Cobbler Mode is current-thread conversation state, not durable run state. It is not a daemon and must not require OpenRouter or any external provider key.

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.
