eighty-six

A list of items that are currently unavailable, such as drinks or other service supplies. In hospitality, “86” means an item has run out or cannot be served.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add an item when it runs out, remove it after restocking, or list everything currently unavailable.
Why use it?
It gives staff one shared record of unavailable items instead of relying on verbal updates. The list can be checked before service and updated when stock changes.

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

eighty-six 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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (__init__.py, __main__.py, main.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

What it actually says

Eighty-Six

Manage the 86 list of currently unavailable items. Add items when they run out, remove them when restocked, and list what is currently unavailable.

Idempotent. Writes only to data/86/current.md. No PII in output.

When to Use

  • When a bartender reports an item is out (86 it)
  • When a delivery arrives and restocks an item (un-86 it)
  • Before service to check what is currently unavailable
  • When a guest asks about availability

Procedure

Run the skill from the repo root:

# List currently 86'd items (default behavior)
python -m skills.eighty_six --format json

# Explicitly list
python -m skills.eighty_six --list --format json

# Add an item to the 86 list
python -m skills.eighty_six --add "Pliny the Elder" --reason "Keg kicked" --reported-by "Alex" --format json

# Remove an item (back in stock)
python -m skills.eighty_six --remove "Pliny the Elder" --format json

Parse the JSON result:

  • status: "ok" (all clear or action completed) or "warn" (items on 86 list)
  • findings: array with CURRENTLY_86D, ITEM_86D, or ITEM_BACK codes
  • data.items: list of currently 86'd items (on --list)
  • data.count: number of 86'd items (on --list)

Exit Codes

Code Meaning
0 OK - action completed or no items 86'd
1 Warn - items currently on the 86 list
2 Config error (bad arguments)
3 Data error (can't read/write data file)
10 Unexpected error

Verification

After running, confirm:

  • Exit code is 0 or 1 (not 2, 3, or 10)
  • stdout is valid JSON (when using --format json)
  • For --add: item appears in subsequent --list
  • For --remove: item no longer appears in --list
Files

What ships with it

10 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
