What is config-resolve?

A configuration builder for CodeNook helper agents. It combines settings from several workspace and plugin files, then replaces model tier labels with models from the workspace catalog.

Use it when a sub-agent needs its final plugin and task settings, including the selected models.

It gives each helper agent one effective configuration instead of making it interpret separate files and defaults.

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Any agent

npx skills add cintia09/CodeNook --skill config-resolve

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/cintia09/CodeNook

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00000	$0.00963
Opus 5.5	$0.00000	$0.00385
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00000	$0.00193
Haiku 4.5	$0.00000	$0.00096

Security

Grade A, and why

config-resolve 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 2mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (_resolve.py, resolve.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

config-resolve (builtin skill)

Role

Sub-agent self-bootstrap helper: produce the effective config tree for (plugin, task) by deep-merging the 4 declared layers + Layer 0 builtin defaults, then expanding tier_* model symbols against the workspace's model catalog. Called by sub-agents — never by main session.

Implements architecture §3.2.4 (4-layer config) + §3.2.4.1 (5-layer model chain + Router exception) + §3.2.4.2 (tier symbol expansion + provenance).

CLI

resolve.sh --plugin <name> --task <T-NNN> --workspace <path> [--catalog <path>]

--plugin __router__ is the router sentinel: Layer 1 and Layer 3 are forced empty (Router exception per §3.2.4.1 / M-016).
--task is optional. When omitted, Layer 4 is empty.
--catalog defaults to <workspace>/.codenook/state.json (extracts .model_catalog). May point to a standalone JSON file with the same shape (used by tests).

Layers

Layer	Source
0	Builtin: `{"models": {"default": "tier_strong"}}`
1	`<ws>/.codenook/plugins/<plugin>/config-defaults.yaml`
2	`<ws>/.codenook/config.yaml` → `.defaults`
3	`<ws>/.codenook/config.yaml` → `.plugins.<plugin>.overrides`
4	`<ws>/.codenook/tasks/<task>/state.json` → `.config_overrides`

Output

JSON to stdout. Top-level merged config + a _provenance map keyed by flat dotted leaf paths (e.g. "models.planner"):

{
  "models": { "planner": "opus-4.7", "default": "opus-4.7" },
  "_provenance": {
    "models.planner": {
      "value": "opus-4.7",
      "from_layer": 1,
      "symbol": "tier_strong",
      "resolved_via": "model_catalog.resolved_tiers.strong"
    }
  }
}

Tier expansion (step 5)

After deep-merge, walk every models.* value:

Starts with tier_ and tier ∈ {strong, balanced, cheap}: look up in catalog.resolved_tiers[tier]. If null → fallback chain strong → balanced → cheap. If all null → hardcoded opus-4.7, resolved_via = "fallback:hardcoded".
Starts with tier_<other>: warn to stderr, fallback to tier_strong, resolved_via = "fallback:tier_strong".
Literal (no tier_ prefix): passthrough; resolved_via = "literal", symbol = null. (Catalog membership not enforced in M1.)

Files

What ships with it

2 files 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.

config-resolve is a skill published in the GitHub repository cintia09/CodeNook (5 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 963 tokens. 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.
