event-modeling

event-modeling is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Cratis/VerticalSlices. It costs 65 tokens per session (1,341 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of event-modeling, MIT.

A guide for designing a Cratis event model before writing code. Event modeling maps user actions, resulting facts, event streams, read models, and automated reactions in an event-based system.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan commands, events, stream boundaries, read models, automations, translations, authorization, and the tests that will prove each behavior.
Why use it?
It helps settle the system's behavior and vocabulary early, reducing confusion about which events exist, where they belong, and what should react to them.

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

event-modeling 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 4d 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 — 64 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Event Modeling

Use this skill before writing code when behavior, event vocabulary, stream boundaries, or a multi-slice flow is not already settled. The output is an implementation brief: which commands exist, which stream each event lands on, which read models consume those events, which automations/translations react, and which specs prove the flow. Afterward, use the create-event-model skill to draw or update the Mermaid EventModel.md diagram.

Lineage. Cratis's four slice types and the Given/When/Then-per-slice discipline follow Event Modeling (Adam Dymitruk; Martin Dilger, Understanding Eventsourcing); this skill applies that method to Cratis.

Skip this only for mechanical changes where the event types and flow already exist and the request is just wiring or a narrow fix.

The brief — decide before implementation

  • Module / feature / slice name and slice type for each behavior (State Change / State View / Automation / Translation).
  • Commands: inputs and the authorization (roles/policy) that gates them. Commands are imperative intents.
  • Events: past-tense, one-purpose facts. Decide the event source id for every event — events never carry their own event-source id as a payload property. Event properties are non-nullable (Chronicle's analyzer warns otherwise); model optional facts as separate events, not nullable fields. Don't append events for derived/aggregate state — project that from source events.
  • Read models: their consumers and source events; whether projection-backed, reducer-backed, or [Passive] (command-side decision only).
  • Automations / translations: which events they react to, which side effects need [OnceOnly], and whether they emit follow-up events or run commands via ICommandPipeline.
  • Specs: happy path, validation failures, constraints, projections/reducers, reactor side effects.

Information completeness — trace every field to an event

The core Event Modeling check, run at modeling time (not after the projection misbehaves):

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.

event-modeling is a skill published in the GitHub repository Cratis/VerticalSlices (2 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 65 tokens to every session and 1,341 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to event-modeling, differing in 7 lines, and is treated as a copy.
