atrib

atrib is a skill for Claude Code from creatornader/atrib. It costs 242 tokens per session (12,167 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A skill for using atrib as a signed record of an agent’s observations, important past records, and changing conclusions. It provides two actions: attest writes a statement, and recall reads earlier records.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps record observations, mark earlier records as important, supersede old positions, and look up signed past information.
Why use it?
It gives the agent a way to preserve, verify, and revise meaningful context across sessions instead of relying only on temporary conversation memory.

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

atrib scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 1mo 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.

atrib: use the protocol from the inside out

This skill teaches you to use atrib as the substrate for your memory, reasoning, and continuity across sessions. When the substrate is operational on the host running you, the missing piece is deliberate use at the moments that matter.

If your host exposes atrib primitives and you do not use them during consequential work, the substrate is fine but the practice is broken. This skill is the fix.

The cognitive verbs let an agent participate directly in verifiable agent actions. Use them to record what matters, mark important past records, revise claims that changed, and verify incoming context before building on it.

The two cognitive verbs (and the seven legacy primitives they absorb)

atrib's agent-facing surface is two verbs. Each is monomorphic in purpose: attest makes one signed statement now; recall reads the signed past without signing anything.

Verb Use it when Produces / returns
attest You notice or conclude something (no ref), a past record matters more than it looked (ref.kind: "annotates"), or you now hold a position incompatible with a past claim (ref.kind: "revises"). A signed observation, annotation, or revision record; annotations and revisions add ANNOTATES / REVISES edges to the target.
recall You want to find prior records (shape), walk lineage (shape: "walk" with a direction), or check supplied handoff evidence before linking work (the verification parameter). Verified records per shape, JSON-identical to the legacy tool the shape maps onto; verification returns accepted hashes for informed_by plus rejection reasons.

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.

atrib is a skill published in the GitHub repository creatornader/atrib (8 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 242 tokens to every session and 12,167 once invoked, about $0.0010 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
