mstar-engine-legacy

mstar-engine-legacy is a skill for Claude Code from btspoony/mstar-harness. It costs 142 tokens per session (1,124 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A conditional archive of Morning Star workflow rules for hosts that do not have the engine tool or engine library. It stores the longer contract text that runtime skills otherwise reference.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when working in an engine-free host and you need the archived rules for status fields, lease claims, host quality checks, recovery, waivers, or engine-check fallback behavior.
Why use it?
It provides the missing rules needed to validate workflow status, leases, quality checks, and anti-recursion behavior when engine-based validation is unavailable.

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

mstar-engine-legacy 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 11d 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.

mstar-engine-legacy(条件契约档案 / Engine-absent fallback)

Load Order

  • 先 Read mstar-harness-core(SKILL.md;冲突时以 core 为准)。
  • 条件加载:仅当宿主无 engine 能力时读取本 skill 及其 references —— 无 mstar CLI、无 engine import、engine 约束未激活。engine 约束激活(或宿主含 engine 能力)时不加载:此时运行时 skills 的 engine-check 指针 + 短契约文本为权威(见 core 索引行)。
  • 本 skill 是单一条件归档:承接因 engine 校验而从运行时 skills 中移除的 contract 全文,engine-absent 宿主在此找回完整文本。

Scope

  • 归档被承接的完整契约散文(Task 2 displaced prose 的单一收容处):
    1. status.json v1→v2 字段历史表(字段、severity、lifecycle、jq/flock 示例)
    2. lease claim 协议全文(claim-before-InProgress、hold/release/override、integration merge、orphan recovery、waiver)
    3. 各宿主 QC 座次 N=3/N=1 重述(omp / opencode / cursor / codex / kimi / zcode / dsh)
    4. 反递归完整清单(leaf executor checklist、红线、NEVER 规则)
    5. Engine-check 样板含义(运行时 skills 中 Engine check (when available) blockquote 的语义与 fallback 规则)
  • 运行时 skills 只保留短指针 + engine-check 命令;完整全文一律在本 skill 的 references/ 中(避免全仓重复)。

Workflow

  1. 确认触发条件:宿主无 engine(无 CLI / import;约束未激活)。满足才继续。
  2. 按需打开对应 reference(见下表),把其中的完整契约文本作为 fallback 应用。
  3. engine 恢复后回到运行时 skills 的指针契约,停止使用本文件作为权威。
需要 打开
status 字段 / severity / lifecycle / 迁移 / jq-flock 示例 references/status-field-history.md
lease claim 协议全文(claim / hold / merge / orphan / waiver) references/lease-protocol.md
各宿主 QC 座次 N=3/N=1 重述 references/qc-seat-n-restatements.md
反递归完整清单(leaf checklist + 红线) references/anti-recursion-checklists.md
Engine-check 样板含义与 fallback 规则 references/engine-check-boilerplate.md

Decision Rules

  • 不加载条件:engine 约束激活,或宿主含 engine 能力(mstar CLI / engine import 可用)→ 本 skill 不加载。
  • 归档唯一性:完整契约文本只存在于本文件;不得同时在运行时 skills 重复维护全文(运行时只放指针 + engine-check)。
  • 权威性:engine-absent 时,本文件的完整文本是行为权威;engine-present 时,运行时 skills + engine 校验是权威,本文件不是。
  • 不改契约语义:承接文本必须逐字保留(字段名、severity 枚举、lease 规则、N 规则、反递归清单);只做整理与归档,不重写规则。

Evidence

  • 正确结果 = references 中的完整文本可独立支撑 engine-absent 宿主操作;bun run validation:drift 绿(skill corpus lint 通过);mstar skill lint skills/mstar-engine-legacy 绿。
  • 回归 = grep 验证运行时 skills 已不再携带被承接的全文(原全文位置只剩指针 / engine-check)。

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.
