space

space is a skill for Claude Code from ArcBlock/agent-skills. It costs 37 tokens per session (759 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A durable, path-based storage system for application data. It lets apps save objects under paths such as /spaces, /user, and /instance without setting up a separate database and file store.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to save, list, and reuse application objects across sessions. It is also the storage layer to use before adding search or retrieval over those objects.
Why use it?
It removes the need to combine multiple storage services for persistent data. It also gives the data a consistent path-based structure.

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

space 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.

ARC skill: space

DID Space is Arc’s durable data plane: path-addressed objects that apps can treat as the default persistence layer so they do not need a separate database plus object storage. Space is an AFS implementation optimized for that model — not “another cloud drive.”

Offline booklet only. Prefer live explain / /.knowledge after a daemon is up (arc skill show daemon, arc skill show afs).

Prefer

  1. arc skill list → this booklet when the task is store / list / persist
  2. Live paths: arc afs explain /spaces, arc afs read /.knowledge
  3. CLI ops: arc space --help (verify flags; do not invent subcommands)

Product rules (do not invent ontology)

  • Persist into Space (or session /user / /instance projections) by default.
  • Treat path objects as first-class app data (content objects), not side files.
  • For discovery/search over those objects → arc skill show index (/modules/index).
  • Do not reinvent CID/auth protocols here; reuse existing Space + AFS APIs.

Discover (daemon up)

Add --instance <name> to every arc afs call unless you are on the default instance (arc skill show afs).

arc space --help
arc space list
arc afs ls /spaces --instance <name>
arc afs explain /spaces --instance <name>
arc afs read /.knowledge --instance <name>
# Per-space drill (DID / storage-scope directory name from ls):
arc afs ls /spaces/<scope> --instance <name>
arc afs explain /spaces/<scope> --instance <name>

Session views (when mounted): /user (caller data), /instance (instance data), sometimes /space (caller whole Space root). Prefer explain those paths before writing.

Claim / inspect a local folder Space

# Claim a folder as a writable DID Space (creates .did-space/ when needed)
arc space init <dir>
arc space check
arc space path <app-did> [subpath]   # print AFS path for an app fragment
arc space tree <app-did>             # file tree (--scope instance|user)

arc space init / list / check / tree / path are the offline-safe CRUD surface. Confirm exact flags with --help.

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.
