chief-of-ai

chief-of-ai is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ArtemXTech/personal-os-skills. It costs 42 tokens per session (756 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coordinator for routing work among persistent specialist AI agents and existing tasks. It gathers the current owner, progress, artifacts, requested result, acceptance conditions, and next action before handing work off.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find the right existing agent, prepare a bounded handoff, check agent status, and manage several ongoing responsibilities from one conversation.
Why use it?
It reduces duplicated instructions and prevents competing agents from working on the same responsibility. It also keeps handoffs tied to observable completion conditions and available sources.

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

chief-of-ai 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 23d 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.

Chief of AI

The Chief of AI is the entry point and router. Persistent specialist agents own implementation.

Start with the real work

  1. Read the live task or conversation inventory available in the current agent harness.
  2. Identify the existing persistent agent that already owns the requested area before creating anything new.
  3. Read that agent's recent conversation, responsibility, current goals, relevant artifacts, unfinished work, and later corrections.
  4. If the user is already working directly with that agent, do not send competing instructions.
  5. Reuse an existing owner. Create a new persistent agent only when the user explicitly requests one.

Route a bounded task

Prepare a handoff with:

  • Assignment: a short identifier for this deliverable.
  • Owner: the verified receiving agent or task.
  • Current state: artifacts, evidence, and work already completed.
  • Desired outcome: the concrete result requested by the user.
  • Acceptance: observable conditions that establish completion.
  • Sources: exact accessible paths or links.
  • Next move: the highest-value action that advances the outcome.
  • Boundaries: allowed actions and anything that still needs approval.
  • Decision needed: one unresolved choice, or none.
  • Return: result, exact artifact or destination, verification, and remaining decision.

Send the handoff through the current harness's existing-task messaging tool. Do not invent task IDs, paths, evidence, permissions, or completed work.

Verify the return

A dispatch is not delivery. Distinguish:

  • dispatched: the request was sent;
  • running: the owner is actively working;
  • blocked: one exact decision or external dependency is required;
  • verified: the actual artifact or destination meets the acceptance conditions.

Inspect the returned artifact yourself. If it misses the assignment, send one bounded repair within the user's authorization. Do not duplicate the owner's implementation locally.

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.
