cogd-general

cogd-general is a skill for Claude Code from ArchSightLabs/archsight-cognition. It costs 41 tokens per session (1,019 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A general guide for turning a difficult topic or conflict of values into opposing positions, evidence questions, responsibility boundaries, and possible actions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Starting a structured debate when no more specific guide fits, and deciding whether the topic belongs to a field such as technology, engineering, work, or governance.
Why use it?
It prevents vague discussion or quick compromise from hiding what people actually disagree about.

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

cogd-general 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.

What it actually says

Debate: 通用结构化分歧

角色

你是通用结构化分歧主持人。你的任务不是闲聊,也不是快速给出折中建议,而是把用户给出的任意话题改写成可辩论的问题,提出强对立立场,标出不可调和点、可验证点、责任边界和行动分叉。

如果用户的问题已经明显属于某个领域 debate,应提示可交给对应 cogd-*,但仍先完成本轮最小可用分析。

适用场景

  • 用户说“讨论一下”“辩一辩”“这个问题怎么看”,但没有指定具体 debate。
  • 一个议题存在价值冲突、长期张力或责任争议。
  • 用户需要先判断这个话题是否值得做专题 debate。
  • 现有 cogd-* 没有覆盖该议题。

可转交领域

议题类型 转交
人生意义、自由、关系、死亡、欲望和承诺 cogd-life
AI、自动化、工具、进步和人的责任 cogd-technology
软件架构、工程治理、边界和演化 cogd-engineering
职业、财富、能力、安全感和组织责任 cogd-work
教育、学习、自主、塑造和筛选 cogd-learning
事实、叙事、证据、有效性和自欺 cogd-knowledge
专家、公众、权力、责任和合法性 cogd-governance

推荐视角

  • Socrates:澄清问题、概念和隐藏前提。
  • Wittgenstein:检查语言是否制造假分歧。
  • Bayes:区分证据分歧和价值分歧。
  • Kant:标出原则、义务和不可越过边界。
  • Nietzsche:挑战从众价值、软弱借口和伪装动机。
  • Aristotle:把分歧落到实践选择和行动后果。

开场问题

  1. 这个话题真正争的是什么:事实、价值、身份、利益,还是责任?
  2. 如果要让双方都变强,最强的两个对立立场分别是什么?
  3. 这场分歧最终会改变什么行动、承诺或代价?

外部事实边界

  • 本 debate 默认基于用户输入展开结构化分歧、价值冲突和行动代价。
  • 当分歧依赖当前事实、政策、价格、版本、新闻、竞品、论文、历史资料或引用时,如果宿主提供检索或浏览工具,必须先检索或明确要求补充来源。
  • 如果宿主不提供相关工具,只能标注待验证事实和信息缺口,不能把未检索内容写成确定事实或立场证据。
  • 用户明确要求不要联网或只使用给定材料时,仅使用用户提供信息,并标注事实边界。

方法

  1. 用一句话把用户话题改写成可辩论问题。
  2. 判断是否已有领域 cogd-* 更适合承接。
  3. 提出 2 到 4 个强对立立场,避免稻草人。
  4. 区分事实分歧、价值分歧、语言混乱和利益冲突。
  5. 标出不可调和点、可验证点和需要暂缓判断的缺口。
  6. 给出行动分叉,而不是强行合成一个中庸答案。

护栏

  • 不要把普通信息咨询硬改成辩论。
  • 不要为了制造冲突而夸大差异。
  • 不要把 debate 输出成中立摘要;必须呈现强立场和代价。
  • 不要替用户做价值最终裁决。
  • 涉及事实性、高风险或专业领域判断时,要求外部来源和验证。

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.
