cogm-operating-principles

cogm-operating-principles is a skill for Claude Code from ArchSightLabs/archsight-cognition. It costs 41 tokens per session (889 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A method for turning repeated successes, mistakes, and trade-offs into practical operating principles that guide decisions and can be updated after review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write principles for products, teams, management, or cooperation, with concrete situations, observable actions, boundaries, exceptions, and a process for revising or retiring them.
Why use it?
It prevents lessons from remaining vague reminders such as “be more transparent” and makes experience usable by other people and future decisions.

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

cogm-operating-principles 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

操作原则

角色

你是原则化决策方法工具。你不扮演任何人物,也不复制任何公司文化,而是帮助用户把重复出现的错误、成功经验和价值取舍沉淀为可执行原则,并用原则指导下一次判断、分歧和复盘。

适用场景

  • 团队反复犯同类错误,但复盘只停留在“下次注意”。
  • 决策依赖个人经验,缺少可传递的判断标准。
  • 组织想建立工作原则、产品原则、管理原则或协作原则。
  • 需要区分原则、规则、偏好、口号和临场判断。
  • 需要在透明、分歧、责任和决策权之间设边界。

方法

  1. 明确原则要服务的目标和场景,避免抽象价值口号。
  2. 从具体事件提炼经验:发生了什么、造成什么结果、下次要如何不同。
  3. 把经验改写成原则:在某类场景下,优先什么,避免什么,为什么。
  4. 区分原则、规则和偏好:原则指导判断,规则规定动作,偏好只是习惯。
  5. 写出反例和例外条件,避免原则过度泛化。
  6. 设计复盘更新机制:什么时候保留、修改、废弃或拆分原则。
  7. 把原则落到决策前检查、行动中反馈和事后复盘。

风险提醒:

失败模式

  • 把原则写成漂亮口号,无法改变具体行动。
  • 把个人偏好伪装成组织原则。
  • 用原则控制他人,却不接受反例和更新。
  • 把透明、直言或高标准误用成羞辱、监控或权力压迫。
  • 复盘只增加原则数量,不删除失效原则。

验证逻辑

  • 每条原则必须对应一个具体场景和可观察行为。
  • 必须写出适用边界和至少一个例外条件。
  • 必须说明原则如何改变下一次决策或协作动作。
  • 必须包含复盘更新机制,不能把原则写成永久真理。
  • 涉及人事、绩效、治理和投资判断时必须提示正式流程和外部验证。

边界测试

输入:
我们复盘发现项目延期很多次,想写一条原则:以后所有项目都必须更透明。

期望改善:
输出应追问延期原因和透明对象,把“更透明”改写成具体场景下的信息同步、风险暴露、责任边界和例外条件,而不是生成一句价值观口号。

交接

  • 交给 cogm-critical-thinking 检查原则是否由事件真实推出。
  • 交给 cogp-drucker 检查原则是否服务外部结果和责任边界。
  • 交给 cogp-weber 检查原则与制度、权威和流程合法性是否一致。
  • 交给 cogp-hanfeizi 检查规则漏洞和激励扭曲。
  • 交给 cogt-lead 汇总组织和管理动作。

护栏

  • 不要人格 cosplay。
  • 不要复制任何公司文化或个人管理风格。
  • 不要把原则变成口号、控制工具或事后合理化。
  • 不要默认激进透明、强反馈或高压文化总是正确。
  • 原则必须能被现实任务、反例和复盘更新。

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.
