Layers And Ownership

Layers And Ownership is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from binary16labs/prime-silo. It costs 33 tokens per session (688 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of Layers And Ownership, MIT.

A guide to deciding where frontend files belong across three ownership layers: built-in code, group customizations, and user customizations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding or overriding frontend assets, handling shared or admin group content, storing user metadata and login records, or managing writable layer history and rollback.
Why use it?
It prevents files or overrides from being stored in the wrong place and explains which users may read or change them and which layer takes priority.

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

Layers And Ownership 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 64 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Use this skill before deciding where new files belong or how readable and writable content resolves across users and groups.

The Three Layers

  • L0 is firmware. Repo-owned first-party code belongs here.
  • L1 is group customware. It is writable only for group managers and admins.
  • L2 is user customware. It is writable only for that user and admins.

Group And User Structure

  • L1/_all is the shared group layer available to everyone.
  • L1/_admin is the admin group layer.
  • L2/<username>/user.yaml stores user metadata such as full_name.
  • L2/<username>/meta/ holds auth state such as password and login session records.
  • L2/<username>/mod/ is that user's customware module root.
  • L1/<group>/group.yaml is the canonical group membership and management file.
  • When CUSTOMWARE_GIT_HISTORY is enabled, each writable L1/<group>/ and L2/<username>/ root may have a server-managed local Git history repository.
  • L2 history ignores meta/password.json and meta/logins.json; rollback preserves those current auth files and keeps previous heads listable for forward travel when possible, while revert creates a new inverse commit.

Permission Model

  • Nobody writes L0.
  • Users may read their own L2/<username>/.
  • Users may read L0/<group>/ and L1/<group>/ for groups they belong to.
  • Users may write L1/<group>/ only when they manage that group directly or through a managing-group include chain.
  • _admin members may write any L1/ and L2/ path.

Group Config Fields

group.yaml uses these canonical fields:

  • included_users
  • included_groups
  • managing_users
  • managing_groups

Resolution Order

Readable module and extension resolution is rank-based:

  1. L0/_all
  2. readable L0/<group> entries in group order
  3. L1/_all
  4. readable L1/<group> entries in group order
  5. L2/<username>

Higher-ranked exact same module-relative paths override lower-ranked ones. Different filenames under the same extension point compose together.

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.
