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.

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 | $0.00371 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00148 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00074 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00037 |
Grade A, and why
hitl-adapter 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.
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.
What it actually says
hitl-adapter — Human-in-the-loop queue manipulation (terminal mode)
Role: Operator interface for resolving HITL gates written by
orchestrator-tick. Each invocation does exactly one thing.
CLI
terminal.sh list [--json] [--workspace <dir>]
terminal.sh show --id <hitl-entry-id> [--workspace <dir>]
terminal.sh decide --id <id> --decision <approve|reject|needs_changes>
--reviewer <name> [--comment "..."] [--workspace <dir>]
Exit codes
| code | meaning |
|---|---|
| 0 | success |
| 1 | precondition failure (already decided, no ctx) |
| 2 | usage error (bad args, missing entry) |
Behaviour
- list — enumerates
.codenook/hitl-queue/*.jsonand returns only entries withdecision == null. - show — prints the file at
entry.context_path(relative to workspace root). - decide — atomically updates the entry (via
_lib/atomic.py), settingdecision,decided_at(UTC ISO-8601),reviewer,comment. Refuses ifdecisionis already non-null (immutable replay). Mirrors the resolved entry as one JSONL line to.codenook/history/hitl.jsonl.
Scope
- M4: terminal/non-interactive mode only.
- M6+: interactive REPL (multi-entry triage, diff display, comment editor) is out of scope for M4.
→ Design basis: implementation.md M4.4
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.
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.

hitl-adapter 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 371 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.
