infrastructure-methods

A read-only planner for connecting research project steps, methods, files, evidence, figures, claims, experiments, and validation checks into one documented plan.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit projects and generate methods plans in Markdown or JSON.
Why use it?
It helps reveal missing research-methods connections without rewriting the project's processing code or inventing evidence.

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

Per session 49 Skills are progressive disclosure: only the name and description are preloaded; the body loads when the skill is used.

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

infrastructure-methods 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 yesterday.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 8 executable files (__init__.py, __main__.py, _plan_builder.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

Methods Orchestration

Use this package when adding or auditing repo-wide research-methods wiring.

Public API

from infrastructure.methods import (
    audit_methods_projects,
    audit_public_methods,
    build_methods_orchestration_plan,
    render_methods_orchestration_markdown,
    validate_methods_orchestration_plan,
)

CLI

uv run python -m infrastructure.methods plan --project templates/template_code_project --format markdown
uv run python -m infrastructure.methods plan --all-public --artifact-mode source --format json
uv run python -m infrastructure.methods plan --all-public --artifact-mode rendered --format json

Boundaries

  • Read-only contract builder.
  • No project business logic.
  • No pipeline stage reimplementation.
  • Validation evidence stays in project outputs and existing validation modules.
  • Optional figure registries, claim ledgers, and experiment plans are reported only when their source files exist; missing optional surfaces are rendered as null/not present, not as fabricated evidence.
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.

infrastructure-methods is a skill published in the GitHub repository docxology/template (19 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 49 tokens to every session and 268 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
