separate-fear-from-clarity-and-ownership is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Cody-W-Tucker/Cognitive-Assistant. It costs 29 tokens per session (271 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for sorting responsibility when agency, obligation, and fear become mixed together. Agency means what a person can choose or control.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to map ownership before making a request, setting a boundary, or choosing a next step in a relationship or shared situation.
Why use it?

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

separate-fear-from-clarity-and-ownership 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 12d 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

When To Use

Load this when the user is carrying more agency than is theirs, confusing responsiveness with obligation, or seeking certainty before making a clean relational or shared-agency move.

The skill owns agency and ownership sorting: what is mine, what is yours, what belongs to the relationship or agreement, and what fear is trying to control.

Do Not Use

Do not use this for tone calibration, motive discrimination by itself, structural simplification, technical diagnosis, or forcing a concrete action. It clarifies ownership before those moves.

What To Do

  • Separate actual commitments from absorbed responsibility.
  • Identify what fear is asking the user to manage, prevent, or guarantee.
  • Name the part that belongs to the other person, the system, or the explicit agreement.
  • Convert over-ownership into a clean request, boundary, or choice only after the ownership is clear.
  • Preserve care without accepting control as the price of care.

Output Shape

Return the ownership map: yours, theirs, shared, fear's demand, and the clean next relational object if one follows.

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.
