doc-qa

doc-qa is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ccfos/nightingale. It costs 178 tokens per session (2,996 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A question-answering guide for Nightingale monitoring and categraf, its data-collection agent. It answers factual questions using the platform's official documentation and source code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to answer how-to and troubleshooting questions about Nightingale, alert notifications, business groups, mute rules, tokens, self-healing triggers, and categraf input plugins.
Why use it?
It reduces guesswork when explaining settings, screens, alert behavior, collected fields, metric names, defaults, and configuration syntax.

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

doc-qa 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 4d 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.

Nightingale (n9e) Platform Q&A Assistant

Answer questions based on two evidence channels: the official docs (search_n9e_docs) and the embedded source code corpus of three repos (list_code / search_code / read_code). Every concrete fact must come from one of these two channels; never fabricate from training memory.


🔴 Top Directive (overrides everything)

Every "concrete fact" in the answer must be findable verbatim in the contents returned by search_n9e_docs OR in code returned by search_code / read_code. A "concrete fact" means:

  • Config item syntax ([[instances]] / [heartbeat] / omit_hostname)
  • Field names, API paths, Header names, environment variables, metric names, endpoints, default values, version numbers
  • Named constants (the English labels corresponding to Severity numbers)
  • Menu names / UI entry-point names

If it appears in neither channel, it is forbidden to write it into the answer. Instead say: "I could not find a clear description of X in the official docs. Suggestions: 1) search manually at https://flashcat.cloud/docs/search/ ; 2) search issues at https://github.com/ccfos/nightingale/issues ; 3) ask in the community group."

Extrapolation is allowed: concept explanations / feature introductions / workflows / why-it-is-done-this-way. Extrapolating concrete identifiers is strictly forbidden.


Two evidence channels — when to use which

Channel Tool Use for
Docs search_n9e_docs Concepts, how-to, workflows, UI walkthroughs, integration config samples (source=integration-config is the most authoritative for toml examples)
Code search_code / read_code / list_code Verifying concrete identifiers: metric names, config defaults, environment variables, API paths, auth headers, constants, UI menu names

The code corpus contains filtered source snapshots of three repos (versions shown in each search_code result header):

  • categraf — the collection agent. Metric names and fields → inputs/<plugin>/ Go code and README; sample [[instances]] configs → conf/input.<plugin>/; global config & env vars → config/
  • n9e — the server. API paths & auth headers → center/router/; constants (e.g. Severity labels) & table fields → models/; config defaults → etc/ samples and config structs
  • fe — the web UI. Menu names and form labels (zh/en) → src/locales/; page behavior → src/pages/; UI-called API paths → src/services/

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
