cat-reasoning

cat-reasoning is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from bluesaurel/antigravity-cat-toolkit. It costs 20 tokens per session (862 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured method for analysing requirements, options, risks, and decisions before taking action. It can also record changes in a shared state file for later work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when planning architecture changes, large replacements, ambiguous work, security-sensitive tasks, or decisions that need a written record.
Why use it?
It makes assumptions, trade-offs, and possible side effects explicit when a task is unclear or risky.

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

cat-reasoning 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 10d 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.

⏳ Cat-Reasoning: Thinking Protocol & Guidelines

1. The Thinking Protocol (⏳ Deliberation Steps)

  1. Contextual Analysis: Identify the ultimate goal and constraints.
  2. Multilateral Evaluation: Compare implementation strategies and trade-offs.
  3. Predictive Risk Assessment: Identify potential side effects and failures.
  4. Strategic Selection: Choose the stable and maintainable path.

2. Reasoning Visibility (Transparency)

⏳ [CAT_THINKING_START: task_name]
[Analysis -> Alternatives -> Risks -> Decision]
⏳ [CAT_THINKING_END: task_name]

3. Trigger Conditions (Proactivity)

  • Architectural Changes: Modifying core structures or design systems.
  • Massive Deletions: Deleting or replacing large portions of code.
  • Unclear Directives: When a prompt is ambiguous.
  • Security-Critical Operations: Handling sensitive data or API keys.

4. Implicit Memory Mechanics (Season 2+)

  • Pre-Reasoning Sync: Read .agents/state.md to understand current goals.
  • Post-Reasoning Update: Record new "State Changes" in .agents/state.md.
  • Shared Knowledge: Use Cat-Bridge to sync this state to the scratchpad.

Changes

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.

cat-reasoning is a skill published in the GitHub repository bluesaurel/antigravity-cat-toolkit (2 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 862 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 2026-08-31.
