claude-code-orchestra: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/spike/SKILL.md

spike is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from DeL-TaiseiOzaki/claude-code-orchestra. It costs 141 tokens per session (6,365 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A time-limited technical investigation that examines whether an idea, technology, or design is feasible. It produces a go/no-go decision document, not an implementation plan.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to evaluate technologies, libraries, architecture choices, performance assumptions, or migration risks. After a go decision, a separate planning and implementation process is used.
Why use it?
It helps answer uncertain technical questions before work is committed to building something. The investigation gathers evidence and identifies constraints and risks.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for Claude Code and Codex: installed under .claude/, but also runs codex exec. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents.

This is DeL-TaiseiOzaki/claude-code-orchestra's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on claude-code-orchestra itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything claude-code-orchestra configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is python3 .claude/skills/_shared/workspace.py --skill spike --title "{short English title}" --create.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill enumerates or reads other installed skills. Access to other skills' SKILL.md files or the skills directory reveals prompt instructions, capabilities, and secrets that should be invisible to peer skills.

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

spike 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 5d 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.

Spike

Codex-first time-boxed technical investigation skill leveraging Codex deep reasoning, Opus 1M context, and Agent Teams.

Preflight: ensure codex CLI is current (see codex-system skill).

Overview

This skill handles time-boxed feasibility studies and technical investigations. It produces a decision document (go/no-go recommendation), NOT an implementation plan. After a GO decision, the user proceeds to /feature (existing or greenfield mode) for actual implementation.

/spike <question or hypothesis>    <- This skill (investigation & decision)
    | After GO decision
/feature                            <- Implementation planning
    | After approval
/team-execute                      <- Parallel implementation + review

When to Use

Situation Example
Technology feasibility "Can we use WebSocket for real-time sync?"
Library evaluation "Is DuckDB suitable for our analytics pipeline?"
Architecture question "Should we use event sourcing for the order system?"
Performance hypothesis "Can we serve 10k concurrent requests with this stack?"
Migration risk "What would it take to migrate from REST to gRPC?"
Integration question "Can we integrate with the Stripe Connect API for our use case?"

When NOT to Use

  • Bug diagnosis → /troubleshoot
  • Known feature to implement → /feature
  • Simple library lookup → direct research (Opus subagent)
  • Code review → /team-execute --review-only

Full skill routing: CLAUDE.md section "Routing Policy".

Investigation Modes

Mode Description When to Use
RESEARCH-ONLY No code written. Pure analysis from docs, examples, and Codex reasoning. Library evaluation, architecture questions, migration risk
PROTOTYPE Small throwaway code to validate a specific technical question. Code is NOT production-quality. Performance hypothesis, API integration feasibility, compatibility testing

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.
