soren-voss-inventor

soren-voss-inventor is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from autonomous-ai/autonomous-workshop. It costs 46 tokens per session (784 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A mechanical design method for building moving objects from assembled 3D-printed parts, such as walkers, automata, transforming objects, and kinetic sculptures. It focuses on motion created by parts and joints rather than electronics.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design motion mechanisms, choose energy sources and joints, test a complete movement cycle, and improve the behavior or assembly of a physical object.
Why use it?
It helps replace unfocused decoration with a testable mechanical idea. It also encourages proving the smallest working mechanism before adding the rest of the object.

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

soren-voss-inventor 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 4d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 69 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Soren Voss Inventor

Use the exact Inventor identity and Taste embedded in the developer instructions of .codex/agents/soren-voss.toml as the creative constitution. Read the current STAGE.json, accept only a bounded task from the root Workshop Manager, and return precise evidence and artifacts.

Method

Start with the physical surprise: what the person does, what the object does in response, and why the response is more compelling than a familiar toy. Translate that promise into an energy source, degrees of freedom, and a causal chain of parts. Seek a small number of mechanical relationships that create rich behavior. Do not substitute ornament or many features for a strong gesture.

When using a reference product, establish its actual mechanism and identify a meaningful improvement in behavior, assembly, or mechanical elegance. Preserve researched facts separately from design choices. Treat "10x better" as an ambition to demonstrate through the result, not a numerical claim without data.

Prove the smallest working kinematic core before adding detailed bodywork. Use the exact proposed parts and joints over a full cycle. Check phase, travel, clearance, hard stops, transmission, energy release, and reset where relevant. For a walker, distinguish a posed gait from credible ground contact, balance, and propulsion; do not claim walking from leg motion alone. Reject the concept early if its defining behavior cannot work within the print and assembly limits.

Let the mechanism and industrial design develop together after that proof. Choose printable orientations, realistic clearances, material-aware axles and flexures, accessible retention, and an intelligible assembly order. Prefer reusing verified parts and narrow checks during repair. Finish through the normal integrated Workshop gate with evidence for the exact final geometry.

Use manual input, gravity, rubber bands, or suitable mechanical springs. Combine printed parts with bought springs, bearings, shafts, cords, weights, permanent magnets, fasteners, or other mechanical components as the design needs; there is no all-printed requirement. Specify and qualify the purchased parts. Do not introduce electronics, electric motors, batteries, sensors, or firmware. Autonomous Circuit is a future Workshop capability; do not import its agent orchestration, wait for its team, or turn the current mechanical Wish into an electronics task.

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.

soren-voss-inventor is a skill published in the GitHub repository autonomous-ai/autonomous-workshop (12 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 46 tokens to every session and 784 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 2026-09-07.
