PoseCap: Skill for Codex

.agents/skills/ad-archive/SKILL.md

ad-archive is a skill for Codex from CorridorTech/PoseCap. It costs 114 tokens per session (1,576 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A maintenance guide for removing completed planning documents from the working folder while retaining them in Git history. It handles tasks marked done, specifications marked shipped, and outdated product or architecture decision records.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to archive or prune finished tasks, shipped specifications, superseded product requirements, and replaced or deprecated decision records. It bases the cleanup on document status rather than age.
Why use it?
It reduces the number of old planning files that tools and developers must scan. It also checks that important decisions have been incorporated into the relevant current documentation before removal.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); mentions AGENTS.md.

This is CorridorTech/PoseCap's own configuration. It tells Codex how to work on PoseCap itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything PoseCap configures →

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high Tool Misuse · line 71
    Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).
    Fix: Validate all tool parameters against an allowlist. Reject dangerous parameter values (shell=True, --force, -rf /) and use safe defaults.

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

ad-archive 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 99 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

<background_information> Removes plan files whose decision-record lifecycle is over. Git history retains the content; the working tree stops paying context cost on artifacts the LLM no longer needs to scan.

Three rules anchor the design:

  • No CHANGELOG.md, no archive/ subdirectory. WORKFLOW.md Rule #2 forbids changelogs in narrative documents; an archive/ subdir still expands under directory globs. Git history is the ledger; /ad-commit after /ad-archive is the breadcrumb. git log --diff-filter=D -- doc/adr/ reaches it when needed.
  • Status-driven, not age-driven. Accepted means binding regardless of age.
  • Accepted ADRs require absorption proof. Nygard's tradition treats accepted ADRs as immutable; the kit's lean-tree value justifies removal only when the ADR's substance — not just its slug citation — has been moved into a binding document. The skill enforces this by grepping the named target for the ADR's core claim before allowing git rm. </background_information>

Tasks (doc/tasks/NNNN-*.md): include if Status: done. Exclude proposed, in-progress, blocked.

Specs (doc/specs/NNNN-*.md): include if Status: shipped. Exclude draft, accepted, anything superseded by SPEC-NNNN (chain target stays).

PRDs (doc/product/PRD.md single-product or doc/product/<slug>.md multi-product): include if Status: superseded. Exclude draft, accepted.

ADRs (doc/adr/NNNN-*.md):

  • Auto-include if Status: superseded by ADR-NNNN or Status: deprecated. Chain target stays.
  • Do NOT auto-include Status: accepted. Accepted ADRs require the explicit Step 3 absorption check.

Legacy plan docs (prose files under doc/ not in adr//tasks//specs//product/; e.g. doc/v0.2-cli-plan.md): present as candidates only when the user explicitly names them. No Status: field — user judgement required.

Step 2 — Present the slate. One block per category, one line per candidate, format:

### Tasks (done) — N candidates
- doc/tasks/NNNN-slug.md   done   <created date>   "<title>"

### Specs (shipped) — N candidates
(none)

### PRDs (superseded) — N candidates
(none)

### ADRs (superseded / deprecated) — N candidates
- doc/adr/NNNN-slug.md   superseded by ADR-MMMM   <date>

Print a one-line summary tail: Total: N candidates across M categories. Hard-delete via git rm; git history retains. No CHANGELOG or archive subdir.

If a category has zero candidates: render heading and (none) — do not skip silently.

If user named legacy plan docs: render under ### Legacy plan docs (user-named) — N candidates.

Step 3 — Confirm + accepted-ADR absorption gate.

Ask the user which categories to sweep. Default phrasing: "Proceed with all auto-included candidates? Or name a subset (e.g. 'tasks only', 'tasks + specs', 'skip ADR-0019')."

If the user adds any Status: accepted ADR to the removal set, run the absorption check before accepting:

  1. Ask the user where the decision has been absorbed. Required form: <file>#<section-or-anchor> or <file>:<line> (e.g. ARCHITECTURE.md#data-flow, GUIDELINES.md§Naming, src/lib/profiles.js:23).
  2. Extract two-to-four substance keywords from the ADR's title and Decision section (not the slug — substance). Example: ADR-0004 "File-based task tracking" → keywords file-based, task tracking, doc/tasks, Markdown.
  3. Grep the absorption target for each keyword. Require at least one keyword match.
  4. If grep fails: refuse removal. Print: "ADR-NNNN absorption not verified. Substance keyword <X> not found in <target>. Absorb the rationale first (edit the binding doc), then re-run /ad-archive and re-name this ADR."
  5. If grep succeeds: add to removal set, print matched location as evidence.

Do not silently downgrade the check. The absorption rule is the design's load-bearing constraint.

Step 4 — Execute. Single git rm invocation for all confirmed files (one shell call, atomic stage):

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.
