scratch

scratch is a skill for Claude Code from alejandro-ventures/llm-agnostic-icm-framework. It costs 37 tokens per session (646 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A fallback workflow for tasks that do not match a specialized workflow. It applies rules for copying inputs, limiting file writes, recording activity, and handling dependencies.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it only for general tasks when no more specific workflow applies, with user data in `input/` and generated results in `output/`.
Why use it?
It provides a controlled place for miscellaneous work while keeping the same workspace, logging, and review requirements as other workflows.

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

scratch 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 8d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 44 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

scratch

Route here ONLY when no specialized workflow in the routing table fits. "General" loosens the task type, never the rules: every CONVENTIONS rule (write-boundary, copy-in-to-edit, dry-run, human gates, no secrets, logging) still applies here in full.

MUST-DO checklist — verify each item BEFORE finishing, none are optional

  • Inputs were COPIED into input/ (never read other workflows' folders or references in place).
  • Every write went through _core/scripts/sandbox.py (sandbox.guard_write / safe_open_w).
  • Any third-party import is installed in .venv AND pinned in requirements.txt.
  • One line appended to output/run-log.csv AND one token-tracker entry logged.

Inputs

Source Location Why
User data input/ material to work on (copy reference files here first — never edit the original)
Reference (read-only material outside the workspace) context, pulled minimally

Process

  1. Confirm the fallback. If any specialized workflow matches, stop and route there instead.
  2. Put user-provided files in input/; write every artifact to output/. Nothing leaves the workspace.
  3. Ad-hoc code goes in scripts/; any write must route through _core/scripts/sandbox.py (sandbox.guard_write(...)). Install packages into .venv and pin them in requirements.txt.
  4. Gate: any destructive/irreversible step (delete, overwrite, send, move) needs a reviewable plan first and an explicit "yes" in the same turn.
  5. Append run-log + log to the token-tracker.
  6. Graduation: if this kind of task recurs, promote it into its own workflow via shared/templates/ rather than letting scratch become a junk drawer.

Outputs

Artifact Location Format
Result output/ whatever the task needs (readable/plain-text where possible)

Gates

  • Destructive/irreversible actions need an explicit "yes" (see CONVENTIONS).

Run log

timestamp,scratch,<action>,<result> to output/run-log.csv, then python _core/token-tracker/tracker.py log --workflow scratch --action <action> --source <local|cloud>.

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.
