core: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/grill-for-unknowns/SKILL.md

grill-for-unknowns is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Asymmetric-al/core. It costs 50 tokens per session (3,467 once invoked), scanned A, original, AGPL-3.0.

A focused process for finding unknowns and blind spots before implementation, including a map-versus-reality review and a launch packet for another agent.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when explicitly preparing an unknowns review, prototype plan, or subagent handoff for a project.
Why use it?
It helps reveal unanswered questions and incorrect assumptions before coding starts.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for Claude Code: disable-model-invocation in frontmatter. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is Asymmetric-al/core's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on core itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything core configures →

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to high

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Large whitespace padding was detected (a block of blank lines or a long run of spaces). This can push injected instructions below or to the right of the visible area so a human reviewer never sees them while the agent still reads them. Manual review of the hidden content is recommended.

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

grill-for-unknowns 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 10d 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 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.
