aegis-context

aegis-context is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from antropos17/Aegis. It costs 34 tokens per session (413 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A source-navigation guide for understanding AEGIS architecture and behavior. It follows configured application entry points, imports, callers, and project documentation in the selected checkout.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when implementing, debugging, testing, or explaining behavior, tracing messages and rules through the application, and checking technical documentation against source.
Why use it?
It helps prevent explanations or changes from targeting an old worktree, inactive interface entry point, or code path that is not actually used.

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

aegis-context 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 today.

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

AEGIS source navigation

Start with docs/development/current-context.md in the selected checkout. It owns checkout selection, current entrypoints, evidence limits and history routing. If working on an older revision without it, read that checkout's AGENTS.md, package.json, Vite and TypeScript configs and record HEAD and dirty state. Resolve source paths against that checkout, never the skill installation folder.

For a source question, follow imports and actual callers from the configured entrypoint. In main, inspect platform/index.js for OS dispatch and preload.js with the handler and renderer consumer for IPC. Use rule-loader.js and its callers to identify rule consumers. Read only the affected historical entries through memory-bank/README.md; preserve dated receipts and active parallel work.

Derive maintained counts with npm run counts:check and versions from package files. Check effective checkJs/include and per-file directives before describing type coverage. For generated inventory scope and optional dependency graphs, read the relevant sections of docs/development/workflow.md. Direct test imports and static graphs locate candidates; they do not establish behavioral coverage or complete runtime reachability.

When Serena is connected, activate the exact checkout by absolute path and verify its active project before symbol queries. Use symbol definitions/references for large files and literal search for IPC strings and computed CommonJS paths. Svelte mode includes JS/TS. A configured server is not proof of a connection.

Use design-system for interface work, electron-main for main-process changes, svelte-patterns for Svelte and testing for harness decisions. Commit/PR workflows remain separate and follow the requested scope. For skill-routing evaluation, read trigger cases; they are examples, not tasks or evidence that an agent evaluation ran.

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.
