setup-cobbler

setup-cobbler is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aigorahub/elves. It costs 55 tokens per session (507 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup guide for Cobbler, a system that chooses which AI models or external agents handle tasks such as planning, coding, reviewing, and validation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to onboard models, assign tools to different kinds of work, inspect available command-line programs and environment settings, and update checkout-specific configuration.
Why use it?
Choosing and configuring model routes can be confusing, especially when credentials must stay private. It helps inspect available tools, plan the routes, apply local settings, and test the setup.

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

setup-cobbler 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 6d 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

Setup Cobbler / Model Onboarding

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

Run the model onboarding contract from the main elves skill and references/model-onboarding.md. Operator CLI:

python3 scripts/cobbler_agents.py onboard plan|show|apply|probe [--json]
python3 scripts/cobbler_agents.py setup …   # apply-only / inventory

Setup must not require OpenRouter or any external provider key. Native-only Elves remains fully usable without running setup.

Default behavior (both Claude Code and Codex)

  1. Plan: onboard plan --json — inventory tools, detect env names present (never values), emit purpose→route questions.
  2. Interview the user for each purpose (planning, implement, review, scout, validate, synthesize, optional math evolutionary search). Offer host-native first. Respect available CLIs/keys.
  3. Apply: onboard apply writes ignored .elves/models.toml only. Never stage it. Never paste API keys into TOML, chat, or the Survival Guide.
  4. Probe: onboard probe runs structural checks (PATH, --help, env names). Optional --smoke only if the user wants a paid live check — host runs a real tiny completion; fake smoke does not count.
  5. Update later: same flow (show → re-interview → apply --forceprobe).
  6. Recommend routes by capability, not prestige model names. Keep host-native fallbacks.
  7. Snapshot effective routes into the Survival Guide during Elves staging for reviewable provenance.

Codex equivalent (not a top-level slash command): $elves setup-cobbler or natural language such as "Set up Cobbler external-agent preferences" / "onboard my models."

Compatibility: /setup-council is the same setup contract with a Council-era name.

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.
