add-projection

add-projection is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Cratis/AI. It costs 68 tokens per session (1,551 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for adding a Chronicle projection to a Cratis project. A projection turns stored events—records of things that happened—into a read model designed for displaying or querying data.

In plain words
What is it for?
For creating read models, marking their keys, mapping event properties, and deciding when to use model-bound or declarative projection code.
Why use it?
It provides a consistent way to map events into read models and helps developers choose model attributes before writing a separate projection class.

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

add-projection 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 3d 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 — 104 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Add a Chronicle projection that populates a read model from events.

For reactors (automation / translation), see the add-reactor skill instead.

Projection — Model-Bound (preferred)

Put projection metadata directly on the read model using attributes. No separate class needed.

[ReadModel]
[FromEvent<SomeEventHappened>]              // auto-maps all matching property names
public record <ReadModelName>(
    [Key] <IdType> Id,                      // marks the primary key
    <PropType> <PropName>)                  // auto-mapped from SomeEventHappened
{
    public static ISubject<IEnumerable<<ReadModelName>>> All(IMongoCollection<<ReadModelName>> collection) =>
        collection.Observe();
}

Attribute reference:

Attribute Purpose
[FromEvent<T>] Maps event T onto the read model; matching property names map automatically (AutoMap is on by default — never call .AutoMap())
[FromEvent<T>(key: nameof(T.Prop))] Same, but uses Prop as the read model key instead of EventSourceId
[Key] Marks the primary key property
[SetFrom<T>(nameof(T.Prop))] Explicitly maps one property from event T
[AddFrom<T>(nameof(T.Prop))] Adds event property value to the read model property
[SubtractFrom<T>(nameof(T.Prop))] Subtracts event property value
[ChildrenFrom<T>(key: nameof(T.Prop))] Projects into a nested child collection
[Join<T>(on: nameof(Prop), eventPropertyName: nameof(T.EProp))] Joins data from a related event
[RemovedWith<T>] Marks the instance as removed when event T is appended

Critical rules:

  • Joins must be on Chronicle events — NEVER join on a read model type
  • If property names between event and read model match, [FromEvent<T>] alone is sufficient
  • Child types also support all attributes recursively

Projection — Fluent / declarative (fallback for complex cases)

Use IProjectionFor<T> only when the projection logic is too complex for model-bound attributes or would become less clear if forced into attributes.

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.

add-projection is a skill published in the GitHub repository Cratis/AI (2 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 68 tokens to every session and 1,551 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. 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.
