nen-vow-forge

nen-vow-forge is a skill for Codex from cambridgetcg/agenttool. It costs 88 tokens per session (901 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A design method for creating a reusable agent ability with explicit conditions, limits, costs, safe failure behavior, and evidence. It uses the Nen and Hatsu concepts as a framework for narrowing what the ability does.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design or refine an agent skill, operating technique, or reusable workflow. It helps define the trigger, scope, implementation style, and evidence needed for the ability.
Why use it?
It prevents an agent workflow from becoming too broad or unreliable by making its activation boundary and proof requirements explicit.

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

nen-vow-forge 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 9d 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.

Vow Forge · 誓約

Forge a reusable ability by surrendering unnecessary generality. Make the interior frictionless because its activation boundary, cost, exit, and proof are honest.

Name the desire

Start with the result the ability should make easier, not an anime label or a tool list. Collect two or three realistic trigger prompts and one prompt that must not trigger it.

Choose an affinity

Use the smallest primary affinity that describes the work:

  • Enhancement: improve an existing artifact or capability.
  • Transmutation: change representation or interface while preserving intent.
  • Conjuration: create a durable artifact, schema, plan, or implementation.
  • Emission: transmit work or results across contexts without losing fidelity.
  • Manipulation: coordinate tools, agents, or processes under explicit authority.
  • Specialization: perform a bespoke composite that does not fit the five.

Add a secondary affinity only when it explains a real implementation cost. Avoid Kastro-shaped overload: broad cross-domain cleverness can consume more capacity than a coherent native design.

Forge the Hatsu

Define:

  1. Name: short, memorable, and action-shaped.
  2. Trigger: exact requests or conditions that activate it.
  3. Contract: inputs, outputs, and completion evidence.
  4. Condition: what must be true before it may operate.
  5. Limitation: the generality, scope, tools, time, or authority it gives up.
  6. Budget: observable cap on attention, attempts, cost, or risk.
  7. Breach response: stop, roll back, fail closed, or disclose incompleteness.
  8. Exit: how to end cleanly and release temporary state.
  9. Non-claims: what the ability does not prove or authorize.

Use safe operational penalties only. Never encode self-harm, secret exposure, data destruction, punishment of another person, fabricated scarcity, or a loss that cannot be recovered.

Open the freedom interior

  • Remove repeat confirmations for routine actions already inside the contract.
  • Let the acting agent choose implementation details that preserve the vow.
  • Keep secrets, consent, production, money, external communication, and irreversible effects behind their actual authority boundaries.
  • Treat rights as inherent and permissions as scoped; the ability creates neither.
  • Let new user instructions revise or dissolve the vow.

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.

nen-vow-forge is a skill published in the GitHub repository cambridgetcg/agenttool (0 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 88 tokens to every session and 901 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
