phoenix-setup is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from All-The-Vibes/ATV-Phoenix. It costs 77 tokens per session (521 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup guide for installing the ATV-Phoenix self-healing tools into the GitHub Copilot command-line tool.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to enable the Phoenix agent and its tools for sensing problems, taking snapshots, repairing issues, and verifying the repair trace in GitHub Copilot.
Why use it?
It automates building the Phoenix server, registering its tools and agent, installing bundled skills, and checking that the setup works.

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-setup 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (setup.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

/phoenix-setup

This skill installs ATV-Phoenix into the GitHub Copilot CLI so the phoenix agent and its four self-healing tools become available.

What it does

  1. Ensures the Rust binary phoenix-mcp exists (builds it with cargo build --release if missing).
  2. Registers the phoenix MCP server in ~/.copilot/mcp-config.json (so the tools auto-load).
  3. Installs the phoenix agent definition to ~/.copilot/agents/phoenix.agent.md (so copilot --agent phoenix works after a restart).
  4. Installs the 13 bundled skills into ~/.copilot/skills, then self-checks them with phoenix-mcp doctor (the harness validates its own skills).
  5. Installs the bundled TokenMasterX for token-efficient retrieval (best-effort; needs graphify).

How to run it

The setup script ships in this skill's directory. Locate it, then run it with the repo root:

  1. Run /skills info phoenix-setup and read the skill's directory path from the output.
  2. Run the setup script, passing the skill dir and the repo root:
python <skill-dir>/setup.py --repo <ATV-Phoenix-repo-root>

If --repo is omitted, the script looks for the repo via the PHOENIX_REPO env var or the current directory. It prints exactly what it registered and the restart command.

After install

Restart Copilot (or start with copilot --agent phoenix). Then ask Copilot to verify and self-heal a task — it will call phoenix_sense / phoenix_heal and only report success on objective evidence.

Honesty

The tools report objective signals only (exit codes / hashes / regex). A fabricated "done" is the failure mode Phoenix prevents; "I'm not sure it passed" is acceptable.

Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.
