navigate

navigate is a skill for Claude Code from boshu2/agentops. It costs 32 tokens per session (1,871 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A planning workflow that chooses the next group of work from a graph of linked tasks, called beads, while preserving fixed acceptance criteria. It records results but does not edit the criteria, assign work, judge results, or close tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to select the next wave for a large goal, connect each task to an observable acceptance example, and identify missing domain definitions or decisions.
Why use it?
It keeps work moving in a defined order and makes the task graph reflect what each experiment found, without allowing navigation to change the agreed goal.

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

navigate 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 155 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Pick the next wave on a bead graph and keep the graph honest toward its frozen acceptance. The root epic holds acceptance; each child bead is one experiment with one RPI. Navigate never edits acceptance, dispatches, judges or closes: Craft Goal owns the prompt and HOLD, Plan shapes a bead, Orchestrate dispatches, RPI runs, Validate judges.

One pass, when a person asks what is next on an epic: steps 1 and 2 plus hygiene, returning the wave in the step 4 shape instead of handing it off. Write nothing; change edges only on the caller's go-ahead; stop after one pass. Each wave of a running goal: steps 1 to 4.

Rules that decide the pick

  • Closed is not proven. Only cited evidence for a criterion proves its row: the passing check that exercises it, or the Validate PASS where a fresh read was required. Closed status, a merge or an approving note leaves it open.
  • Serve an open row. Pick only ready beads that serve an open criterion or a named blocking uncertainty; a bead tied to none is a hygiene finding.
  • Stay disjoint. Picked write and generated scopes overlap neither each other nor any in-flight bead; an overlapping ready bead waits.
  • Ready is a tracker state. An empty ready list does not prove completion; a closed prerequisite with missing or stale bytes is not usable readiness.

Speak the domain

  • BDD: each criterion is a Given/When/Then example with an observable result. Each bead names the example it moves; a bead that lacks one gets Plan first inside its RPI.
  • DDD: the root epic defines each domain term once, in one line. Titles, examples, code and tests reuse that exact word. A synonym is a hygiene finding; Domain settles disputes.
  • Write a bead as its title, then its id: Locale fallback test (ag-12).

Bead graph contract

Root epic: outcome, acceptance examples, non-goals, authority, domain terms. Child bead: the question and the criterion or uncertainty it serves; method, expected observation, falsifier, scope, non-goals; notes enough to resume after compaction; verdict, evidence refs, learning.

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.
