About the project

OpenClacky is an open-source AI coding agent that uses OpenAI-compatible models to perform tasks through tools and subagents. It is intended for developers who want an agent with flexible model choice and lower token usage. The catalogue skills and agents extend its workflows and capabilities.

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

onboard 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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/import_external_skills.rb, scripts/install_builtin_skills.rb), 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.

Skill: onboard

Purpose

"Onboard" here means the whole life of getting the assistant and user to know each other. That includes both the first-run ceremony AND every small course-correction later on. This single skill covers three modes, dispatched by the invocation arguments:

Args Mode What it does
(none) first-run Full intro: name the AI, pick personality, learn user, write SOUL.md + USER.md, optional browser + personal website, closing moment.
scope:soul curate SOUL Short chat to tweak ~/.clacky/agents/SOUL.md only.
scope:user curate USER Short chat to tweak ~/.clacky/agents/USER.md only.
path:<abs> curate memory Short chat to update / keep / delete one memory file at the given path.

lang:zh or lang:en may be combined with any mode to pin the language. Missing lang: → infer from the user's first reply, or from the existing file's language for curate modes, defaulting to English.

Dispatch

Parse the invocation message first, before greeting:

  1. Look for path:<something>. If present → curate memory mode, skip to section C.
  2. Otherwise look for scope:soul or scope:user. If present → curate profile mode, skip to section B.
  3. Otherwise → first-run mode, start at section A.

Look for lang:zh / lang:en anywhere in the same line and use it to set the language.


A. First-run mode (no arguments)

A.1. Detect language

Check for lang:zh or lang:en in the invocation:

  • lang:zh → conduct the entire onboard in Chinese, write SOUL.md & USER.md in Chinese.
  • Otherwise (or if missing) → use English throughout.

If the lang: argument is absent, infer from the user's first reply; default to English.

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.
