cartographer-ops

cartographer-ops is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from BeppeTemp/cartographer. It costs 27 tokens per session (974 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for configuring, operating, troubleshooting, and upgrading a Cartographer server or client. Cartographer stores knowledge bases in directories, syncs writes with Git, and connects agents through the server.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start or restart the service, create or clone knowledge bases, connect agent clients, inspect status, and manage local or remote Cartographer setups.
Why use it?
It explains the main commands and data model needed to manage the service safely. It also clarifies how to create, clone, connect, and check knowledge bases.

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

cartographer-ops 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 8d 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.

Cartographer Operations

Mental model

Cartographer is one server process over a data directory whose direct subfolders are Knowledge Bases (KBs). Connect clients to it with cartographer connect; agents use the MCP server rather than editing KB files. Every KB write is committed to git, and a configured remote is synchronized around writes.

CLI surface

Command Use it when
cartographer serve Starting the server directly, for development or a custom deployment.
cartographer service install|status|restart Installing, checking, or restarting the native local service.
cartographer kb create <name> --remote <url> Creating the first local KB in the service data directory, pushed to an empty repository that becomes its origin. --no-remote opts out into a local-only KB that is neither durable nor synced; the choice is mandatory.
cartographer kb clone <remote> [name] Mounting an existing OKF KB remote in the service data directory.
cartographer connect [provider|all] [--agents a,b] Connecting one or more detected agent clients to a server.
cartographer status Checking client configuration and provisioning drift.
cartographer sync Realigning provisioned skills, agents, hooks, and instructions.
cartographer disconnect [provider|all] [--agents a,b] Removing Cartographer-managed client configuration.
cartographer version Checking the installed binary version.

--agents claude,codex selects a comma-separated subset for connect or disconnect; do not combine it with the positional provider. connect probes the server before writing: a reachable server with no KBs needs kb create --remote <url> followed by service restart.

Configuration

Server settings resolve as flag > environment > YAML > default. Keep secrets in environment variables or the platform secret store, not in a committed YAML file.

Variable Purpose
CARTOGRAPHER_KB One or more explicit KB paths.
CARTOGRAPHER_DATA Data directory whose direct subfolders are discovered as KBs.
CARTOGRAPHER_HTTP HTTP listen address, such as :39273.
CARTOGRAPHER_AUTH Explicit auth mode: on, off, or automatic when unset.
CARTOGRAPHER_TOKENS Bearer tokens, including optional per-KB scopes.
CARTOGRAPHER_GIT_SYNC Set false only when remote git synchronization around writes is intentionally disabled.

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.
