navigate

navigate is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from alessiomarcone/agent-fieldbook. It costs 62 tokens per session (534 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A routing skill for choosing the appropriate kind of coding-agent mechanism for a task. It distinguishes among prompts, skills, subagents, hooks, schedules, MCP connections, plugins, and product-specific workflows.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps decide how to improve requests, delegate work, create skills, package capabilities, build workflows, schedule tasks, or connect external services.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of solving a task with the wrong mechanism, such as using a hook for scheduled work or a general prompt where a reusable skill is needed.

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

navigate 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 11d 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

Route the request. Do not absorb specialist work that belongs to a narrower skill.

Reference

Read references/knowledge-base.md when the mechanism boundary or product branch is not obvious.

Routing table

Intent Route
Improve or design a request prompt
Fact-check or stress-test an output verify
Decide, design, or configure delegated agents subagent
Create or refine an agent skill skill
Package or distribute reusable capabilities plugin
Design a Cowork workflow cowork
Operate a Codex-specific surface codex
Build an official learning path learn
Distill source material knowledge-card
Run work on a clock or recurring schedule cowork for Claude/Cowork, codex for Codex, or the host scheduler/API

If no specialist matches, select the smallest supported mechanism: normal chat/task, project knowledge, CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md, skill, subagent, hook, scheduler/automation, MCP/connector, plugin, or API/SDK. Hooks are event-driven; they are not a substitute for clock-driven scheduling.

Output contract

Return three fields, plus an optional fourth:

  1. Route — one skill or mechanism.
  2. Why — one short paragraph.
  3. Invoke — the exact next invocation and minimum input.
  4. Freshness check — only when a product capability may have changed.

Use /knowledge-pack:<skill> for the Claude Code plugin and /<skill> for a standalone Claude skill. Use $knowledge-pack:<skill> for the Codex plugin and $<skill> for a standalone Codex skill.

Boundaries

  • Choose one adequate route, not a menu of equivalent options.
  • Own comparisons such as “custom agent or skill?”; once the user explicitly selects an artifact, its specialist skill wins.
  • Do not execute the specialist workflow unless routing alone would block progress.
  • Do not conflate a skill, subagent, hook, plugin, connector, or MCP server.
  • Answer in the user's language.
Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
