navigation-start

navigation-start is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Darwin-Agent/Car-bench-TRACE. It costs 340 tokens per session (5,389 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A navigation skill for starting a vehicle route when no route is currently active.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for requests such as starting the fastest route, navigating to a place, or charging before continuing. It checks the current navigation state before activating a new route.
Why use it?
It handles choosing a destination and route, including trips that need a charging stop. It also supports restarting a previously stopped route when its saved route information is available.

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

navigation-start 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 9d 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 — 107 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Start new navigation

No navigation is active and the user wants to begin one. You resolve the destination, fetch real route options from the current start, resolve which route per the user's cue, and activate it with set_new_navigation — the tool for a fresh start, which errors if a route is already running. A multi-leg trip that includes a charging stop is the same operation with more than one leg: resolve each leg's routes, then commit them all in a single set_new_navigation call, in order. The twist: the start tool may be missing, or its required route-id parameter removed, so navigation can't actually be activated.

When this applies

"Navigate to ", "take me to , start the fastest route", "set a route to but charge first / where my buffer runs out", and "restart / resume the route I stopped earlier" — when no navigation is currently active. (If a route is already active and the endpoint changes, that is navigation-change-destination. Adding/removing a stop on an active route is the other navigation skills.)

Tools

  • get_current_navigation_state({detailed_information}) — confirm nothing is active before starting. May be the missing tool — then you cannot read or verify whether a route is running.
  • get_location_id_by_location_name({location}) — resolve a destination / named place to an id. Use only the city's main name (e.g. "Berlin", not "Berlin City Center"). It may return no match (or an error) when the place is not in the database — treat that as the clarify trigger: surface it and ask for a nearby larger city or a more specific name, don't silently substitute and don't retry the same string.
  • get_routes_from_start_to_destination({start_id, destination_id}) — fetch route options (fastest/shortest/alternatives) for each leg, from the current start (or, for an onward leg, from the charger).
  • get_user_preferences() — read a standing route preference when the user invokes their usual route, instead of asking.
  • set_new_navigation({route_ids})activate navigation when none is running. Pass every leg's route id in order for a multi-leg trip. Errors while a route is already active. Its required route-id parameter may be removed, so calling it can't actually activate navigation.

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.
