editing-cordis-compositions

editing-cordis-compositions is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from AnEntrypoint/freddie. It costs 69 tokens per session (2,516 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of editing-cordis-compositions, MIT.

A workflow for editing Cordis compositions, which are configuration files that choose the plugin rows available to an agent or session. It explains when to change a shared host setup, a session setup, or a copied user-owned preset.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or edit agent presets, add or remove plugins, decide where a capability belongs, and check that the resulting composition loads.
Why use it?
It prevents changes from being made in the wrong configuration layer or from overwriting presets supplied by the deployment. It also helps diagnose why a plugin row did not mount.

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

editing-cordis-compositions 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 127 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Editing Cordis compositions

Every capability in this harness is a plugin row in a cordis.yml. There is no separate configuration language: changing what an agent can do means changing which rows are composed for it.

Off-limits

Never edit, delete, or overwrite a preset that ships with the deployment — the agent-presets directory beside the deployment's own config, which supplies standard, code, minimal, and cordis. Never escalate the sandbox to reach it, even when a change there looks quicker. An upgrade overwrites that install, and corrupting cordis disables preset authoring itself. Reading a shipped composition is the intended way to start; writing to one is not, and neither is editing the host composition to work around a preset limitation.

To change what a shipped preset does, copy it and edit the copy. Locally authored presets under the user root are yours to create, edit, and delete.

Decide the plane first

Two planes, and the choice is not about how "agent-related" something feels — it is about whether the thing must be shared.

Host composition. The registries themselves (tools, systemPrompt, agents, agent-loop, sessions), anything crossing sessions (persistence, session query, storage, settings, credentials, telemetry), the sandbox and approval stack, the model route, and the subagent registry with its spawn/fork backends. One instance for the process.

Agent preset. What one session contributes to those registries: its tool plugins, its persona and prompt sections, its compaction policy. One instance per session, mounted under that session's scope and unwound with it.

A service with a consumer outside the agent plane cannot move into a preset. subagents is the worked example: the registry answers cross-session queries for the host api-proxy, so a per-session copy both starves that host row — it waits forever for a service nothing provides — and collides on the second session, since a provider name registers once. The preset contributes the delegation tools; the registry and its backends stay host-side.

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.
