workspace-detection

workspace-detection is a skill for Claude Code from aws-samples/sample-oh-my-aidlcops. It costs 54 tokens per session (1,464 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT-0.

A workspace check that determines whether a project is new or an existing codebase. For an existing project, it examines the code to recover requirements that may not be written down and records the technology stack and starting points.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at the start of work to identify the project type, technologies, entry points, hidden requirements, and recommended next steps.
Why use it?
It prevents a new project and an older codebase from being handled with the same assumptions. It gives the team an initial view of how the project works and which path to follow.

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

workspace-detection 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 7d 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.
