state-mutation-locking

state-mutation-locking is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from baphuongna/pi-crew. It costs 14 tokens per session (591 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for changing durable application state safely when multiple actions may happen at once. It covers locks, atomic file writes, allowed status changes, task claims, and recovery state.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before modifying run manifests, task records, mailbox delivery state, claims, or recovery status in the pi-crew system.
Why use it?
It helps prevent concurrent operations from overwriting each other or leaving partially written data. It also reduces mistakes when retrying, resuming, or repairing completed work.

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

state-mutation-locking 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.

state-mutation-locking

Use this skill before modifying pi-crew run state.

Source patterns distilled

  • src/state/locks.ts — run-level sync/async locks
  • src/state/state-store.ts — manifest/tasks persistence
  • src/state/contracts.ts — allowed status transitions
  • src/state/mailbox.ts, src/state/task-claims.ts, src/state/atomic-write.ts
  • src/runtime/crash-recovery.ts, src/runtime/stale-reconciler.ts, src/runtime/team-runner.ts

Rules

  • Mutations to a run's manifest.json, tasks.json, mailbox delivery state, claims, or recovery status must be protected by a run lock when concurrent actions are possible.
  • Re-read manifest/tasks inside the lock before making a decision; pre-lock reads are only for locating the run.
  • Persist with atomic write helpers (atomicWriteJson, async variants, or state-store helpers). Do not partially write JSON files.
  • Respect status contracts. Do not transition terminal tasks/runs unless the action explicitly supports force semantics.
  • Separate analysis from persistence: pure reconcilers should return intended repaired state; locked callers should persist it.
  • In retry/resume paths, reload fresh task status immediately before execution and skip if the task is no longer retryable/runnable.
  • Include event-log entries for externally visible state changes.

Enforcement — State Mutation Locking Gate

Before mutating run state, verify:

  • Run lock acquired before mutation (concurrent actions possible)
  • Manifest/tasks re-read inside the lock before decision
  • Atomic write helpers used (atomicWriteJson or state-store helpers)
  • Status contracts respected (no terminal transitions without force semantics)
  • Event-log entries emitted for externally visible state changes
  • Retry paths reload fresh task status before execution

If ANY answer is NO → Stop. Verify locking and atomicity before mutating.

Anti-patterns

  • Reading state, waiting/doing async work, then writing the old copy.
  • Updating tasks.json from a reconciler or watcher without a lock.
  • Cancelling/responding to runs owned by another session.
  • Using fs.writeFileSync for JSON state outside atomic helpers.

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.

state-mutation-locking is a skill published in the GitHub repository baphuongna/pi-crew (51 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 14 tokens to every session and 591 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-30.
