What is atomic-cli-contrib?

A project-specific contribution guide for the Atomic command-line tool. A command-line tool is a program operated by typing commands in a terminal.

Adding Atomic subcommands and flags, editing installation or doctor checks, handling prompts, and creating internal packages in that repository.

It keeps new commands, options, interactive questions, and diagnostic repairs consistent with the repository's existing code. It also defines how the tool handles missing terminals, cancellations, and 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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00138	$0.05047
Opus 5.5	$0.00055	$0.02019
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00028	$0.01009
Haiku 4.5	$0.00014	$0.00505

Security

Grade B, and why

atomic-cli-contrib scanned grade B 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.

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

The `outputstyle.*` and `settingsjson.*` helpers expect `scopeRoot` to be the directory that *contains* `.claude/`. They internally resolve `<scopeRoot>/.claude/settings.json`.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 273 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

atomic-cli-contrib

Project-local skill for working on the atomic CLI in this repo. Captures conventions that emerged from the doctor, validate, and config work, plus the prompt-layer extraction. Read this before adding subcommands, flags, prompts, or new internal packages.

This skill is contributor-scope only. It lives under .claude/skills/ and is auto-loaded for sessions in this repo. It is not bundled (see atomic/internal/bundlemirror/mirror.go — only context/skills/atomic-*/ ships).

1. Interactive prompts go through `internal/prompt/`

Single surface. Every interactive prompt — install flows, doctor --fix, future atomic config, anything new — calls internal/prompt.Confirm or internal/prompt.Select[T]. No direct huh.* calls outside the prompt package. No bufio.Scanner prompters.
Why. One swap point when huh changes API. Consistent TTY detection. Consistent abort handling.
Sentinels. Callers branch on errors.Is(err, prompt.ErrNonInteractive) (no TTY → skip path) and errors.Is(err, prompt.ErrAborted) (Ctrl+C → distinct from "No"). Never collapse abort into decline.
Doctor adapter. The doctor's Prompter interface lives separately so the --fix loop can have its own decision shape (DecisionYes/DecisionNo/DecisionSkip/DecisionAbort). The adapter (doctor/stdin_prompter.go) translates from internal/prompt errors. Mirror the adapter pattern if you build a new prompt-consuming subsystem.

2. Testable seams via function-field structs

Pattern. For any subsystem that calls external collaborators (filesystem, network, prompt, time), define a struct of function fields:

type MyStep struct {
    Classify  func(scopeRoot, want string) (Result, error)
    Write     func(scopeRoot, value string) error
    Confirm   func(title, desc string, def bool) (bool, error)
    Logger    io.Writer
    AssumeYes bool
}

Default factory wires production deps. Tests inject stubs.

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.

atomic-cli-contrib is a skill published in the GitHub repository damusix/atomic-claude (115 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 138 tokens to every session and 5,047 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.

Report how much the user spent on Codex (tokens and cost at API prices) today, this month, the projected month end, or over a period, from their local Codex logs, using the Sipcode CLI. Use when the user asks how much they spent on Codex, how many tokens Codex used today or this month, or what this month will cost.

Explain why a Codex session used so many tokens (largest requests, files read more than once, context carried while idle) from the user's local Codex logs, using the Sipcode CLI. Use when the user asks why their last Codex session was so expensive, where the tokens went, or what made a session cost so much.
