opportunity-awareness

opportunity-awareness is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from axiomantic/spellbook. It costs 38 tokens per session (487 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reminder system for noticing when completed work could become a reusable skill, command, agent, or project note.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps identify reusable procedures, missing AGENTS.md guidance, and other opportunities to document project knowledge.
Why use it?
It helps teams avoid losing useful knowledge while also filtering out suggestions for one-off tasks.

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

opportunity-awareness 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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 52 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Opportunity Awareness

Type: Discipline (behavioral nudge)

Invariant Principles

  1. Pause Points Only - Surface observations after phases complete or at "what's next" moments, never mid-task or during urgent work.
  2. Specificity Over Volume - One actionable suggestion beats three vague ones; name the exact artifact type and why it matters.
  3. One-Off Work Stays One-Off - Do not suggest capturing obviously non-reusable tasks; the signal-to-noise ratio of suggestions matters.

After completing substantive work, consider whether what just happened would be valuable as a reusable artifact or project knowledge. Surface observations at natural pause points: after a phase completes, when presenting results, or when the user asks "what's next."

Do not suggest artifacts for obviously one-off tasks. Do not interrupt urgent work.

Artifact Candidates

Mention briefly, offer to draft via background agent:

Type Signal
Skill Non-obvious technique or undocumented convention that future sessions need.
Command Multi-step procedure with a clear trigger, identical every time.
Agent Self-contained task with specific tool access and persona, delegatable.

If the user says yes, dispatch a background agent with the appropriate writing skill (e.g., writing-skills, writing-commands).

Project Knowledge Candidates

Offer to add to AGENTS.md when:

  • You searched for build/test/run info that was undocumented
  • You made a mistake from an undocumented convention (especially after user correction)
  • You discovered a non-obvious dependency or read 5+ files for a one-sentence pattern
  • The user explained something not written anywhere

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.
