o9k-guide

o9k-guide is a skill for Claude Code from Bumblebiber/its-over-9k. It costs 119 tokens per session (961 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A personalized orientation guide for people using o9k, explaining what the agent handles automatically and which one-time setup actions remain.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for learning how o9k works, checking installed components and unresolved choices, and finding the commands still needed.
Why use it?
It removes uncertainty after setup by checking the actual installation and showing only the relevant next steps.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

o9k-guide 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.

o9k-guide — The One-Minute Orientation

o9k's promise to the human: you don't have to do or know anything — the agent runs it. This guide covers the small remainder that automation can't do, and only that. Personalize it: run the detector first, then tell the user only what applies to their setup.

Step 1 — detect the actual setup

node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/o9k-guide.mjs"

Read-only, instant. Gives you: installed pillars, memory backend, detected companions, open arbitrations, gaps.

Step 2 — present the guide

Match the user's language. Keep it to ~a screen. Structure:

1. "Runs by itself" (always say this first). One short paragraph: the agent compresses its output, loads only the code it needs, offloads noisy searches, and saves state to memory before anything is lost — automatically, every session, via hooks. There is nothing to invoke and nothing to learn.

2. "One-time actions" (only the ones the report flags). The full list of things automation genuinely can't do — omit every line the report shows as already done:

Gap in report Tell the user
No memory backend /o9k-init picks TIM (npm i -g tim-cli && tim init), hmem (npm i -g hmem-mcp && hmem init), or a custom MCP — without one, sessions start from zero.
Missing pillar(s) /plugin install <name>@o9k for each.
Stock superpowers dispatching-parallel-agents still enabled team-up owns dispatch by default — offer to disable the superpowers dispatch skill.
Two memory backends Say which one wins (TIM preferred by hooks) and offer to remove the other.
Wants the companion stack install/o9k-companions.sh recommended (dry run first — the companion-bundles skill handles it).

Whenever a fix is something you can execute (an install command, a config edit), offer to do it right now — the user should never have to copy-paste.

3. "On demand" (max 5 lines — human-facing; agents still obey pillar rules).

  • /o9k-init — guided setup/reconfiguration: companions, git, conflict resolution with migration. The fix-everything path when gaps pile up.
  • /o9k-stats — proof the savings are real, measured from session logs.
  • /o9k-update — check pillars & companions for updates, apply the safe ones.
  • /o9k-guide — this orientation, any time.
  • framework-scout skill — scouts GitHub for new companion frameworks.
  • Multi-agent roster (only when the team-up companion is installed): cross-CLI workers via mailbox runs — see docs/MULTI-AGENT.md. Tell the human they can ignore this if they never installed team-up; if a roster exists, you must use dispatch path B for every external CLI spawn (runs create + --run-id + watcher) — not optional for agents.
  • Settings, only if asked: O9K_UPDATE_CHECK=off|notify|auto (update policy), kill switches O9K_CORE_HOOK=off, O9K_MEMORY_HOOK=off.

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.
