situation-framing

situation-framing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Dicklesworthstone/eidetic_engine_cli. It costs 51 tokens per session (1,589 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A task-planning skill for coding agents that classifies work, selects command plans, and defines the evidence needed to support a result.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps plan commands, identify required evidence, handle degraded modes, and prepare a concise handoff before implementation.
Why use it?
It helps agents choose appropriate checks and handle limited or degraded command-line access without putting task decisions into the Rust command-line tool.

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

situation-framing 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/validate_situation_framing_skill.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.

A licence we could not identify

The repository carries a LICENSE file, but it is custom or dual enough that GitHub cannot name it and neither can this catalogue. Unknown terms are not permission, so the body is not copied here. Read the licence at the source and decide for yourself.

What ships with it

3 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.

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.

handoff

Write a compact, decision-ready handoff so the next session (or the user) can continue without reconstructing the current one. Use when the session is ending, context is running low, the user asks for a handoff / 'pass the baton' / 'hand off', or a long-running operation needs a durable state checkpoint.
