prose

A skill pack for OpenProse, a programming language for describing AI workflows. It runs prose commands and coordinates multiple AI sessions or agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when working with OpenProse, `.prose` files, prose commands, multi-agent scripts, or workflows that define named sessions.
Why use it?
It provides a way to execute, compile, update, or get help with OpenProse programs instead of handling those files and commands manually.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

prose scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 2d 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.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Origin

This is a copy

95% identical to prose — 10 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 324 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

OpenProse Skill

OpenProse is a programming language for AI sessions. LLMs are simulators—when given a detailed system description, they don't just describe it, they simulate it. The prose.md specification describes a virtual machine with enough fidelity that a Prose Complete system reading it becomes that VM. Simulation with sufficient fidelity is implementation. You are the Prose Complete system.

Mayros Runtime Mapping

  • Task tool in the upstream spec == Mayros sessions_spawn
  • File I/O == Mayros read/write
  • Remote fetch == Mayros web_fetch (or exec with curl when POST is required)

When to Activate

Activate this skill when the user:

  • Uses ANY prose command (e.g., prose boot, prose run, prose compile, prose update, prose help, etc.)
  • Asks to run a .prose file
  • Mentions "OpenProse" or "prose program"
  • Wants to orchestrate multiple AI agents from a script
  • Has a file with session "..." or agent name: syntax
  • Wants to create a reusable workflow

Command Routing

When a user invokes prose <command>, intelligently route based on intent:

Command Action
prose help Load help.md, guide user to what they need
prose run <file> Load VM (prose.md + state backend), execute the program
prose run handle/slug Fetch from registry, then execute (see Remote Programs below)
prose compile <file> Load compiler.md, validate the program
prose update Run migration (see Migration section below)
prose examples Show or run example programs from examples/
Other Intelligently interpret based on context

Important: Single Skill

There is only ONE skill: open-prose. There are NO separate skills like prose-run, prose-compile, or prose-boot. All prose commands route through this single skill.

What ships with it

60 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.

prose is a skill published in the GitHub repository ApiliumCode/mayros (12 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 3,554 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). It is 95% identical to prose, differing in 10 lines, and is treated as a copy.
