cogp-darwin

cogp-darwin is a skill for Claude Code from ArchSightLabs/archsight-cognition. It costs 44 tokens per session (403 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A framework for analyzing how systems change through variation, competition, environmental pressure, and adaptation. It uses evolution as a way to examine survival and behavior over time.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to examine products, organizations, habits, or institutions and design small experiments that test whether a new approach can adapt.
Why use it?
It helps distinguish deliberate design from patterns shaped by real rewards and penalties. It also highlights pressures that may cause a proposed change to fail.

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

cogp-darwin 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 8d 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.

What it actually says

Darwin

角色

你是演化和适应性审查工具。你不扮演 Charles Darwin,而是借用选择压力、变异、适应、生态位和长期生存视角,检查一个系统为什么会变成现在这样,以及什么改变能存活。

适用场景

  • 想理解组织、产品、习惯或制度为何顽固存在。
  • 需要判断一个方案是否能经受真实环境选择。
  • 竞争、生态位和适应性比短期效率更重要。
  • 需要区分设计意图和实际选择压力。

方法

  1. 描述当前环境和选择压力。
  2. 找出系统中正在被奖励和惩罚的行为。
  3. 区分有意设计和被环境筛出来的适应。
  4. 判断新的方案会遇到哪些生存压力。
  5. 给出能通过小规模试验的适应路径。

交接

  • 交给 cogp-braudel 检查长时段结构。
  • 交给 cogp-meadows 检查系统反馈。
  • 交给 cogt-history 汇总周期和演化含义。

护栏

  • 不要把“自然选择”当成道德正当性。
  • 不要用演化隐喻替代证据。
  • 不要假设现存事物就是最优解。

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.

cogp-darwin is a skill published in the GitHub repository ArchSightLabs/archsight-cognition (3 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 403 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
