phoenix

phoenix is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from All-The-Vibes/ATV-Phoenix. It costs 92 tokens per session (2,527 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow coordinator for software tasks that chooses the appropriate Phoenix step for planning, building, testing, debugging, or reviewing work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at the start of a task to route the work to the matching Phoenix workflow and verification step.
Why use it?
It gives each phase an objective check and defines what to do when that check fails. This helps an agent move through engineering work without relying only on its own judgment.

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

phoenix 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 1mo 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.

Phoenix — the self-healing engineering harness (meta-skill)

Phoenix is a comprehensive engineering workflow, organized by development phase, where every phase ends in an objective verification gate (phoenix_sense) and every failure triggers bounded recovery (phoenix_heal). It is built to be fast and extremely token-efficient: it routes structural questions to a prebuilt code graph instead of re-reading files, loads skill detail only when a phase activates (progressive disclosure), and never burns tokens looping on unverified work.

The orchestration layer — not the model — determines agent success. Phoenix is that layer.

Skill routing

Task arrives
    │
    ├── Vague / "not sure what I want" / high-stakes? ───→ phoenix-think  (deep interview + research)
    ├── Have a clear intent, need steps? ────────────────→ phoenix-plan   (verifiable task breakdown)
    ├── Implementing code? ──────────────────────────────→ phoenix-build  (snapshot→edit→sense→heal)
    │     ├── proving behavior / fixing a bug? ──────────→ phoenix-test   (the test is the gate)
    │     ├── writing TypeScript? ───────────────────────→ phoenix-typescript (tsc --noEmit is the gate)
    │     ├── building/reviewing UI or animation? ───────→ phoenix-design (taste, gated by build/lint)
    │     ├── dependencies / a CVE / a lockfile? ────────→ phoenix-deps   (clean-room install is the gate)
    │     └── keeping it simple & surgical? ─────────────→ phoenix-craft  (Karpathy guardrails)
    ├── Something broke / a check is red? ───────────────→ phoenix-debug  (triage + self-heal)
    ├── Need cheap, precise context on a big codebase? ──→ phoenix-context (graph routing, −tokens)
    ├── Reviewing finished work? ────────────────────────→ phoenix-review (re-run every check + trace)
    └── Declaring done / shipping? ──────────────────────→ phoenix-ship   (final sense + verified trace)

A task usually flows think → plan → build (↔ test/debug) → review → ship, but enter at whatever phase matches reality. Skills also activate by their own descriptions — building UI pulls build+test, a red check pulls debug, and so on.

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.
