atmos: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/say/SKILL.md

say is a skill for Claude Code from cloudposse/atmos. It costs 58 tokens per session (689 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A macOS notification helper that speaks a short message aloud when a task finishes or needs human attention.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to announce that a task is ready for review or that human input is needed, such as for a merge conflict or unresolved failure.
Why use it?
It makes completed or blocked work harder to miss when you are not watching the terminal or agent session.

About the project

Atmos is an infrastructure runtime that coordinates tools such as Terraform, OpenTofu, Kubernetes, Helm, Packer, Ansible, and containers through consistent commands and configuration. It is for teams running cloud infrastructure on laptops, in CI, or through AI agents across environments and regions. Its catalogue entries provide skills, agents, commands, and other add-ons for Atmos workflows.

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

say 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 1mo 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 63 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Audible Task Notifications

A written summary is easy to miss when it lands in a background session hours after the user stopped watching. This skill gives that moment an audible signal too.

When to use it

Two triggers, general-purpose — not tied to any one feature:

  1. A task or cycle finished in a way that needs human review (e.g. a fix was applied but the result deserves a second look).
  2. Execution is blocked and needs human input to proceed (e.g. a merge conflict, an ambiguous finding, a failure the caller correctly declined to touch).

Any skill or agent reaching one of these states should invoke this — it is not specific to fix-all or any other single caller.

Phrasing rule

Keep it under ~15 words. Be specific, not a summary dump — include identifying context (a PR number, branch, or file) so the listener knows what without reading anything.

  • Good: "PR 2718 has a merge conflict, needs your attention."
  • Bad: a multi-sentence recap of the whole cycle.

Invocation

say is macOS-only. Wrap it defensively so a caller on another platform (or a machine without say) never fails because of this notification. Build the message in a shell variable first, then pass it via quoted expansion — never substitute untrusted text (a PR title, branch name, file path) directly into the command source, since a stray " could terminate the quote and inject additional shell content:

message="PR ${pr_number} needs your attention."
command -v say >/dev/null 2>&1 && say "$message" || true

No DATA-vs-instructions treatment is needed here: say only produces local audio output, no state mutation, so it's exempt from the untrusted-content framing applied to things like CodeRabbit comment bodies elsewhere in this repo's automation.

Requires .claude/settings.json → "Bash(say:*)" in allow — this skill owns that dependency; callers don't need their own entry for it.

  • fix-all skill — example caller, invokes this on every human-attention exit path in its check/fix cycle (scheduled hourly by pr-maintenance-loop, or run directly for a one-shot).
  • test-coverage skill — example caller, invokes this when a test-fix attempt caps out still red or a coverage gap is genuinely untestable.
  • lint skill — example caller, invokes this when a finding needs a broader refactor than patch scope allows.

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.
