cratis-chronicle-reactor

cratis-chronicle-reactor is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Cratis/AI. It costs 91 tokens per session (3,572 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to Chronicle reactors, which respond to events by causing an outside effect or adding follow-up events. Unlike projections and reducers, they do not build queryable read-model state.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to call an external service, send an effect, or translate one event into follow-up events, including when replay behavior matters.
Why use it?
It helps choose the right event handler and prevents side effects from being hidden inside state-building code. It also covers replay and failure concerns when event handling triggers other work.

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

cratis-chronicle-reactor 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 today.

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 — 345 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Chronicle reactors

A reactor observes events and does things: calls an external system, or appends follow-up events. A projection or reducer builds state; a reactor causes effects. If the answer is "populate a queryable model", it is not a reactor.

Need Use
populate a queryable read model from events a projection
a current-state-plus-event transition a reducer
trigger a side effect outside the system a reactor (automation)
append follow-up events elsewhere in the system a reactor (translation)
both a model and an effect one projection and one reactor

Verified product sources

This skill is verified against these exact sources:

Package Version Purpose
Cratis.Chronicle 16.45.2 Cratis.Chronicle.Reactors, Cratis.Chronicle.Reactors.SideEffects, Cratis.Chronicle.EventSequences, Cratis.Chronicle.Events
Cratis.Chronicle.CodeAnalysis 16.45.2 CHR0004, CHR0005, CHR0008, CHR0013, CHR0022, CHR0031, CHR0032

Reverify product sources before claiming support for another version.

There is no ReactorSideEffect type. It does not exist in Chronicle, in any version. The real return types are listed below; the per-event metadata control it was imagined to provide is what EventForEventSourceId actually gives you. Never write it into code or an example.

Write the reactor

using Cratis.Chronicle.Events;
using Cratis.Chronicle.Reactors;

/// <summary>
/// <what this automation does and why>.
/// </summary>
public class <ReactorName>(<IServiceType> <serviceName>) : IReactor
{
    /// <summary>Reacts to <see cref="<EventName>"/>.</summary>
    public async Task <MethodName>(<EventName> @event, EventContext context) =>
        await <serviceName>.<Operation>(@event.<Property>);
}

Cratis.Chronicle.Reactors.IReactor is a marker interface with no members. Reactors are discovered by that interface — the [Reactor] attribute is optional and is not what makes a class a reactor. Generic types are not discovered.

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.

cratis-chronicle-reactor is a skill published in the GitHub repository Cratis/AI (2 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 91 tokens to every session and 3,572 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-09-06.
